Coming
off the
heels of
the
action-packed
eighth
entry of
the
Cirque
Du Freak
series,
Allies
Of The
Night,
this
ninth
entry,
titled
Killers
Of The
Dawn
continues
with the
fast-paced
action
of its
predecessors.
The book
opens up
with
Darren,
Mr.
Crepsley,
Harkat
and
Vancha
on the
run from
the
Vampaneze
and a
multitude
of
Vampets
in the
underground
tunnels.
They
have the
dreaded
Steve
Leopard
with
them,
and they
manage
to get
away
from
their
enemies
- but
not for
long.
When Mr.
Crepsley
attempts
to
interrogate
Steve
Leopard,
he and
everyone
else
realize
that
Leopard
was
extremely
devious
in going
along
with
them.
It’s
indeed a
trap;
they
look out
the
window
to find
the army
and
police
surrounding
the
apartment
complex
where
they
were
held up.
Could
this be
the end
for the
vampire
prince?
No, of
course
not. The
crew
manages
to
thwart
the
initial
threat
of the
army and
police
surrounding
them,
but only
shortly.
They are
quickly
arrested
and
ensconced
in
cramped
jail
cells.
The
police
try to
get
information
from
Darren
and the
others
but get
nothing.
The
pulse-pounding
action
takes a
brief
respite
as the
police
continue
to try
play
good
cop/bad
cop with
Darren
and the
others.
But the
pace
kicks
right
back up
when
Steve
Leopard
kills a
few
guards
and
nurses
to
escape
the
police.
This
gives
Darren
his
chance,
and he
takes
it. With
the
walls
too
thick to
knock
down,
Darren
makes
his way
into the
ceiling
rafters
and
finds
Harkat
and Mr.
Crepsley.
They
escape
but are
left to
deal
with the
problem
of
daylight
- the
rays of
the sun
are
burning
Mr.
Crepsley’s
skin.
They
also
have to
deal
with an
angry
mob of
humans
who
discover
them on
the
street.
They do
their
best to
make it
to the
tunnels
but,
blocked
by
Vampets,
they
just run
for it.
Darren
comes up
with a
plan to
get
everyone
safely
to the
house of
his
friend
Richard,
but
again
they
have
problems.
The
eventually
find
cover
and make
it to
the
tunnels
where
they
fight
the
Vampaneze
and
Vampets
in an
attempt
to
finally
win the
War of
the
Scars.
With so
much
action
and so
many
fantastic
characters
to
follow,
this
series
is just
extremely
entertaining.
Killers
Of The
Dawn
lives up
to all
the
excitement
built up
in all
the
previous
novels
and is
one heck
of a
horror/fantasy
thrill
ride.
