Complete Vampire Hunters Academy from Delizhia Jenkins
Delizhia Jenkins has authored multiple books, ranging from adult paranormal romance to urban fantasy for young adults. A longtime fan of the paranormal and the unseen, Miss Jenkin told Monster Complex that she was inspired to create her own vampire series as a way to pay tribute to the late L.A. Banks:
“The Vampire Hunters Academy started out as a ‘Thank You’ to Ms. Banks. It was a way for me to keep her memory alive. But the characters I created are not based off of her—the storyline is a intricately woven web of everything that I know about vampires and their origins, mixed with everything I’ve learned about religion, spirituality and mythology.”
