About this ebook

In the tradition of Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Stephen King's Salem's Lot, the nightmare continues for the new vampire's assistant in the popular Saga of Darren Shan.

Darren Shan was just an ordinary schoolboy until his visit to the Cirque Du Freak. Now, as he struggles with his new life as a Vampire's Assistant, he tries desperately to resist the one temptation that sickens him, the one thing that can keep him alive. But destiny is calling. The Wolf Man is waiting.

Ratings and reviews

Ive only read the first 2 books, but im going to read the rest. (Hoping there are many more actually in the series lol) i read the first for a book club, but the 2nd for enjoyment. I read faster than i ever have read anything else, less then a day. I feel super upset now because i have to wait until a few days to get the 3rd. I litterally like them soooo much i cant even wait 2 days to read the 3rd. This comment enouh should be enough to realize you need to read the whole series!

The plot line was very interesting with the use of "Darren" getting weaker. The book had an unexpected climax as well favorable denouement that left me as a reader hungry for the next book of the Cirque Du Freak series. I recommend this book to all.

Ive been a big fan of this book series since of 07. The different world's, The characters and The whole story line is fascinating and imaginative. I would recommend it to anyone! (The movie was a bummer though) :/
