Book 11
of
Darren
Shan’s Cirque
du Freak
series
is out!
Check
out
Lord Of
The
Shadows!
The
Crowgrrl
has just
finished
reading
this
nail-biter,
and I
swear,
this
storyline
keeps
getting
even
more
intense
as it
grows!
Darren
Shan’s
Cirque
du Freak
series
is one
of the
most
deliciously
macabre
storylines
The
Crowgrrl
has had
a chance
to sink
my fangs
into!
It’s
incredibly
addictive,
from the
very
first
entry
into the
series,
Cirque
du
Freak: A
Living
Nightmare.
A new
reader
can
start
anywhere
in the
series –
each
book can
stand on
its own,
and
gives a
synopsis
of what
went
before.
(But
trust
me,
readers,
if you
do that,
you’ll
be
backtracking
for the
earlier
books in
the
series.
As I
said,
they’re
addictive!)
The
Vampires
are
currently
in a
deadly
war with
their
vicious
cousins,
the
Vampaneze,
and if
the
latter
win, the
race of
Vampires
will be
destroyed.
Darren –
a
Vampire
Prince –
has
returned
to the
Cirque
du
Freak,
which is
traveling
to an
unlikely
spot for
Darren
to
visit:
his
home,
which
he’s not
seen
since
becoming
a
Vampire’s
apprentice.
Not only
is this
a
strange
homecoming
for him
in its
own
right,
he
encounters
his
nemesis,
Steve
Leopard
– the
Lord of
the
Vampaneze!
Steve is
leaving
a
murderous
trail in
his
wake,
starting
with a
gruesome
attack
on
Darren’s
childhood
best
friend,
now a
soccer
star;
the
fatal
attack
in front
of
hundreds
of
spectators
at a
crowded
soccer
stadium.
The body
count
starts
to pile
up at
Steve’s
hands,
culminating
in the
kidnapping
of
Shancus,
the
young
son of
the
Cirque’s
Snake-Boy,
Evra
Von!
Darren,
Evra,
and
Harkat
(one of
the
mysterious
"little
people"
associated
with the
Cirque)
meet up
with an
organized
group of
Vampaneze-hunters,
led by
Darren’s
girlfriend
Debbie
and
former
police
commissioner
Alice
Burgess.
But can
the team
stop the
killings
and save
the
child?
This
book has
more
twists
and
turns,
ups and
downs
than the
wildest
of
roller
coaster
rides –
with an
unbelievable
surprise
ending!
This
book
seriously
leaves
the
reader
begging
for
more!
