The Thirteenth is the last in a Vampire huntress Legend. Damali and Carlos a married Neteru and their Guardian team have just been blamed for a terrorist attack in D.C.Which was the gruesome battle between the Dark Realms. The Light has just dropped them off in Bermuda. They have no money and no resources. They must depend on the light to find help. Meanwhile the Devil and the Dark realm has unleashed a series of Plages. These plagues have caused humans to become sick and many to become zombies. Damali and Carlos find a elderly ship captain that believes in the light. They take to the seas where they (the pregnant women, Damali and her team) evoke a underwater pyramid from deep under the Bermuda triangle. This triangle has the knowledge from Atlantis. The team is positioned to fight the Anichrist. The Devil has opened the sixth seal and the Pale horse has been release. The Huntress team must fight the Antichrist and the legions from hell during Armageddon.

This book is the best in the Vampire Huntress Series!! The series from L.A. Banks first book Minion to The Thirteenth shows a steady progression from the young crazy out of control Damali and the money hungry territorial Carlos to a more mature Damali and Carlos. This mature team still has trials and tribulations within the team but they are more focused on doing what is right for the team and the light. Carlos is focused on his wife Damali and their unborn child which is a big contradiction to the past where Carlos on several occasions showed love for Damali but often hurt her and was uncaring about her needs. This is the book to read of the year. If you want action, adventure, romance and urban swag The Vampire Huntress Legend Series are the books that will make you think beyond this world. It will terrify you and make you fall in love with the characters. You will identify with the situations and love the matrix of family and friends. Of all of the Vampire books L.A. Banks takes her series above and beyond by adding biblical text, information and using using current events from right out of the headlines.

I am very sad that I finally finished this series. I tried to prolong it as much as I could.

“Dayaaaaaaaaam” "Alls I gottas say" is all and all this was a good ending. Not great or spectacular...just "good". I just kept hoping to see Jesus make a guest appearance; but I guess that would be too much like blasphemy. The battle was epic (don't get me wrong), all the seals were broken, angels came to battle, the ancestor spirits rose to fight, EVERYONE was going for "BROKE". There was this intense buildup.....and then I was left hanging................................. THE END! In the words of Shabazz, “FO SHO?” “Why yall gotta play a sista like that?” “That shit don’t make no kinda sense.”Yep, “but I ain’t no hata”. Now I have to cleanse myself of this horrible slang, ON TO THE NEXT BOOK!
