5.0 out of 5 stars Creatures of the Night Sep 28 2005
By vhstigers - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The ninth book in the Cirque Du Freak series, Killers of the Dawn, will leave readers begging for more. Darren Shan the Vampire Prince, Mr. Crepsley, and Vancha are on a quest to find and kill the Vampaneze Lord. After a devastating twist of fate Darren Shan is public enemy number one! The vampaneze leading them into a battle that the odds are clearly in the vampaneze favor the three hunters stand up to the challenge. They break all to puzzles and roadblocks that the vampaneze can throw at them and find the Vampaneze Lord at last. Many hardships lie in the tunnel as sacrifices are made and the fighting continues in the War of Scars. Books full of twists as characters come back into the books, some to help and some for revenge.

For the most part I really liked this book. It was full of twist that I never saw coming. It had great detail and plenty of action to keep me reading. In some books the farther they go in the series the worst they get, even in the ninth book Darren Shan still finds a way to keep you tied to the books. Some things in the book were disappointing like how the book ended. It stopped all of a sudden in the middle of everything. Some of the parts in the book didn't make sense to the book. Some parts seemed to be just thrown in there to make the book longer.

Anybody who wants to escape reality into a book full of creatures of the night and full of action would love this book. Anyone who has ever read Buffy or Angel would enjoy this thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is It The End? Feb 10 2006
By GoVHS - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Darren Shan is a half vampire and is a vampire prince, the highest spot of the vampires. Mr. Crepsley, Vancha March, and Darren Shan have to hunt and kill the vampanzes lord. If they kill him they will win the War of the Scars.

It starts out a Mr. Crepsley, Vancha, and Darren running away from the vampanze with Steve Lenorad, a vampanze. Darren and the two other vampires don't know that this was a trap. Whenever they get to their apartment, the police were there, and they escaped. The vampanze bocked the sewage tunnels so they had to hurry up and get out of own. Later that night, they went into the tunnels and tried to find their lord to kill him. Along the way they encounter traps and than find the lord of the vampanze. You will have to read the book to find out what happens next.

I really liked this book because the author always fools you and there is a lot of action in the books. I would recommend this book whoever likes action, mysteries, and

vampires. This is the ninth book in the sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME! Jun 14 2005
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Have you ever been in a life of death situation where your only objective is to hunt down and eliminate one particular killer- and your one destined alternative is to eventually die? Probably not. But this is just what young Darren Shan, a half-vampire and Vampire Prince, and his three trusted allies- Vancha March, another prince, Harkat Mulds, a little person brought back to life by the magical Desmond Tiny, and Mr. Crepsley, a former Vampire General- are faced with. They have four destined chances to kill their primary target- the Vampaneze Lord. Vampaneze are vampire blood-brothers who broke away from the clan to start their own because they did not like their type of ruling. These two races of night-stalkers have been at war for many years now- "The Three Hunters" already short two failed chances kill the Vampaneze Lord. The third chance, they made a horrible end of him. At least, that's what they thought....

Killers of the Dawn is the ninth book of the seemingly never-ending Cirque Du Freak series, which I've started from the very first book, and loved all of the others. Darren Shan writes with a very unique style of writing- one in which a plot so serious it still has a little added humor to keep the reader entertained. (Hey, it worked on me...) And each book has at least some blood and killing. Killers of the Dawn ranks highest. I would strongly recommend this whole entire series to anyone. Boy or girl, these stories are incredible.
