5.0 out of 5 stars It should be a sin to miss out on this book, 9 Feb 2003
This is by far the best book in the entire Darren Shan series. Anyone who's read it will understand how difficult it is to tell others what it's about without giving too much away. I will say this though - you do find out who the Vampaneze Lord is. Basically, fleeing from the underground tunnels, the Hunters plus Harkat the little person and their two captives (a vampet and Steve Leonard) end up being the hunted. Surely things can't get ANY worse for the hunters...? An absolutely immense ending will leave you shocked and possibly confused.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable! Depressing...but Remarkable!, 17 May 2003
By far the best book in the saga, Killers has (quite rightly) caused alot of sadness and anger amoungst readers...not because it was bad--far from it!--but because of the cruelty of the twists in the book. Any one who has read the other eight in the saga shouldn't miss out on this addition; the last in the Hunters trilogy. If you haven't read the other books, however, Cirque Du Freak is a better place to start!
I loved this book; it was better written than the others, tightly plottedn and exciting throughout. Five stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars KILLERS OF THE DAWN!!, 1 May 2003
One hell of a book the best ever in fact. To get into this Series of books read from Cirque Du Freak This is the 3rd part of the 3rd trilogy I would recomend all the books in this series (I read 4 out of 9 books in one day).

In this book there are same big twists and turns shame we have to wait till 6th october 03 for book no 10 The Lake of souls...........Still reading you should go to get this Book NOW
