Description: One woman is all that stands between humankind and the eternal night in the first book in an exciting new series. All Damali Richards ever wanted was to create music and bring it to the people. But come nightfall, she hunts vampires and the other night demons that others dismiss as myth or fantasy.

Review Quotes:
"[Minion] literally rocks the reader into the action-packed underworld power struggle between vampire rivals with a little demon juice thrown in... Cutting-edge wit and plenty of urban heat flies from the pages of this quick read." --Philadelphia Sun
"[Banks is]. . .wildly creative and invents a totally new and refreshing milieu... Its social hierarchy and politics are fascinating, and the author's reinterpretation of the seven levels of hell is brilliant. Minion is an entirely delicious read, leaving the reader licking one's lips and wanting more, cursing the cliffhanger ending." --Fangoria Magazine
