Italian blogger Frankie is still diligently working their way through all twelve of my Saga Of Darren Shan / Cirque Du Freak books, and writing a review of each book in turn. Frankie recently posted their review for Book 8, Allies Of The Night, and you can find out the verdict by clicking on the following link, then copying and pasting the text into a translator like Google Translate: https://aratakblog.blogspot.com/2019/05/recensione-allies-of-night-darren-shan.html
