Hello Gemmies! It's February and love season is upon us. What better way to celebrate than highlighting one of my favorite literary couples Damali Richards and Carlos Rivera. I was introduced to both of these characters in Minion the first book in the Vampire Huntress Legend Series by L.A. Banks. This series holds a very special place in my heart, Minion is the book that introduced me to paranormal/horror books with lead characters of color! I remember seeing the cover for Minion and then reading it and having my mind blown. Here is a kick ass heroine that looks like me...and there is a whole cast of diverse characters that I can relate to! It made me feel seen. I absolutely LOVE this series and this couple.
The Vampire Huntress Legend series has everything that I love in my paranormal books, light vs dark, vampires, weres, a plethora of creatures, kick ass females, sexy male protagonists, exotic settings, love, loss, action, adventure and more! That goes doubly for our main couple Damali and Carlos. These two go through hell and back...literally. Their relationship is raw and real and you feel every trial they are put through. I cannot recommend this series enough! Listed below is the series reading order to help get you started.
