Book Description
“Erotic horror dosed with a funky African-American beat” this romantic fantasy has “smokin’ sex scenes that easily out-vamp Laurell K. Hamilton’s” (Publishers Weekly). The vampire civil war has been averted, deadly were-demons have been beaten back and now Damali Richards and master vampire Carlos Rivera will finally have the chance to settle in and explore their deeper, sexier love. But Carlos and Damali should know by now that there is no rest for the saviors of the known world. One of the four topside Master vampires has stolen one of the Keys—the living blood of Christ—that opens the sixth seal as foretold in Revelations. He who possesses the Key and the Seal can decide to the outcome of the Final War, a.k.a. Armageddon. With a vampire in possession of the Key, the balance between the Light and the Dark have been thrown off and even Damali is deeply affected. She is now sporting a pair of fangs. In order to retrieve the Key, Carlos and Damali are quickly thrust into a web of vampire politics and intrigue. And when Carlos’s secret drug, Oblivion, finds its way into the hands of the enemies, even the seventh level of Hell comes calling. “The stakes have never been higher, and the excitement and tension are palpable in this installment of Banks’ complex, sexy series.” —Booklist Praise for L.A. Banks and the Vampire Huntress Series “L.A. Banks writes a killer vampire series.” — Sherrilyn Kenyon, New York Times–bestselling author “Blade meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” —Kirkus Reviews

Ex-cop Alec Fontana may not be able to patrol the streets of Boston anymore, but when his aunt, a college president, asks him to investigate whether an esteemed professor is preying sexually on his students, he’s up to the task.
