the vampire's assistant darren o shaughnessy

Darren seems much more of a real and relatable character. I am enjoying this series a lot more than The Saga of Larten Crepsley series I read previously. So Crepsley takes them back to the Cirque du Freak where this story takes place. On top of all this Darren is lonely for friends his own age. Crepsley warns Darren that if he does not drink he will die. But with each day that passes without drinking human blood Darren grows weaker. Crepsley, keeps pressuring him to drink human blood, but Darren refuses hoping to keep his humanity.

YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat book was a quick, enjoyable, fun read. That way you'd forget enough so you won't say, 'but that wasn't in the books,' on repeat.

I wish he played a larger role in the series.Īs with the first book, what first is a fun adventure, quickly turns onto a nightmare of both physical and mental anguish. I love Evra's personality - his dry humour combined with his outlandish snakeboyness. Meanwhile, he's becoming fast friends with a snake-boy (Evra Von), a human-boy (Sam Grest) and eco-activist (Reggie Veggie). He doesn't want to kill, but is finding the impulse increasingly more difficult to resist.

He must cope with becoming a bloodthirsty creature of the night. Finally, a book where death actually exists and poses a real threat.ĭarren is still reeling from the events of the last book. Finally, there's evil characters who are truly evil (and not merely misunderstood). THIS IS NOT a unicorns-and-rainbows middle school book and I loved it for that.įinally, something where morals do not outweigh the plot. Originally published: September 30, 2000.
