Half-vampire
Darren
Shan is
traveling
with the
Cirque
du Freak
again.
They
return
to his
hometown
and he
knows he
must not
visit
his
family
because
they
think he
is dead.
However,
he talks
to a
lady
near his
old
house
and she
says his
parents
moved
away
years
ago and
that his
sister
had a
child
when she
was
sixteen.
Darren
was very
shocked
and left
the area
of his
old
house.
To make
matters
more
exciting,
one of
his old
friends,
Tommy,
has
become a
famous
soccer
player
and
there is
a game
right in
his
hometown!
When
Tommy
comes to
the
Cirque
du Freak
show he
finds
Darren
and
gives
him a
ticket
to the
game.
Once the
game is
over a
tragedy
happens
and
Darren
finds
himself
face to
face
with his
arch-enemy
Steve,
the Lord
of the
Vampaneze.
Steve
has
captured
one of
Darren's
friends'
children,
but
Darren
has
Steve's
own son
held
captive.
When
they
were
about to
switch
off the
children
to each
other,
Steve
did
another
horrible
thing
and left
Darren
pondering
what to
do. Does
he
mirror
Steve
for
revenge,
or will
he push
his
anger
aside
and do
what is
right?
I
thought
that
this was
an
absolutely
amazing
addition
to the
Cirque
Du Freak
series!
After
reading
the
other
books in
the
series I
knew
that
this one
had just
as much
of a
creative
plot as
the
rest. It
is the
eleventh
book in
the
series
and
keeps
the
suspense
and
action
at a
high
just
like the
rest. I
loved
that an
old
friend
of
Darren's
came
into
play
again
and was
so
significant
but not
overpowering.
The
vocabulary
for Lord
of the
Shadows
is
amazing
as well.
The
author,
Darren
Shan,
once
again
left you
hanging
at the
end
which
makes me
want, or
rather
NEED, to
read the
twelfth
and
final
book in
the
series.
I
definitely
recommend
this
book to
anyone
who
likes
vampires
or
fantasy.
There
is a lot
of
violence.
