Lord of the Shadows
'Stephen King for kids … Darren Shan has brought his own brand of vampire mythology into the heads and hearts of thousands of children with his vivid and compelling series The Saga of Darren Shan, about one boy's journey from ordinary lad to vampire prince. Once they're hooked, kids tend to rip into the flesh of these books, quickly draining them of their life blood. The covers, with images of ghouls, creeping hands and dripping fangs are terrifying alone. ' Metro Life, Evening Standard
Cirque Du Freak
“…fast-paced and compelling book which leaves the reader hungry for more.”
JK Rowling
"I read Cirque Du Freak last week. I loved it. I love the way you manage to juggle the funny with the unpleasant, the affection with the hurt. It's
great story-telling."
Roddy Doyle
The Vampire’s Assistant
“The Vampire’s Assistant blazes a thrilling, gruesome trail through a fascinating plot.”

WOW!! What a finish!
The whole series gripped me from start to finish twisting and turning and leaving me begging for more; and this book is no different.
This ending is so well plotted, tying loose ends and satifying unanswered questions. The way Darren changes his own destiny -to the outrage of Des Tiny!- was so brilliant even is a little predictable. I love how Evanna plays a part too and the ending with Darren is superbly written! But I wont reveal too much. I will only say......Darren Shan; this series gave me hours of reading enjoyment and the finale is no exception. Bravo! A truly inspirational series!

I was a little apprehensive about reading this book - I started reading this series when the books first came out (2002 I think) when I was 12 and recently returned to it to read the last six books, which I had for some reason never got around to reading back then - so I was hopeing after over five years of reading, it would end well. I can happily say that it did!
Not only a brilliant ending (and the only ending there ever could have been really), but the book itself is one of the best in the series, too! Great ending to a great saga.

I am the NO~1 fan!!!! and Darren Shan has never ceased to amaze me!!!! I must admit i saw the end coming, and guessed what would happen but it still made me have cardiac convulsions with joy, inspiring me to write my own trilogy *-*
He is an incredible, utterly amazing talented author and if you have read the first you simply must read to the end. My favourite remains book 2 because i adore Evra, (and BillE in the other serie's) but i am besotted with all twelve. He has made a perfect ending to a quality saga and his other books are just as fantastic! A wondeful read that is guaranteed to make you a life long fan! I know there are many who know exactly what i am talking about!!!! Full of surprises and a twist in the title you'd never expect!!! best ever!!!! x
