The book that I read was Hunters of the Dusk was written by Darren Shan. This book is about Darren, a vampire prince, who is Mr. Creapsly's assistant. The uprising of the Vampeneze Lord has threatened the population of the vampires. The War of the Scars has begun and to save the vampires, Darren, Mr. Creapsly, and Vancha must find and kill the Vampeneze Lord before he is fully blooded. They only have four shots and the whole world is resting in their hands! Out of five stars I would give Hunters of the Dusk a four.
This book was very intense with a lot of action. My favorite part of the book was when Darren went through his purge. A purge is very rare but it mainly can make a half-vampire whole. Since Darren is only half, his human blood is being attacked by his vampire blood. During his purge there are a lot of disadvantages since he doesn't become a whole vampire and will have to go through that again.
Someone that I would recommend this book to is a person that loves mystery, suspense, action, and adventure. This book is one of the best books that I have read in my life! I know that you will love it.

This book is the 7th book in the saga. This book is about a vampire boy, Darren Shan. Darren has just become the vampire prince, the highest of all vampiers. The War of Scars is going on and Darren is helping an older prince with the war. Mr Tiny, a powerful person who created the vampiers, came to the mountian. He said that three vampiers would hunt for the vampaneze lord but humans and creaters can help. Mr Thiny said they will cross paths with the lord four times. The three people are Darren, Mr Crepsley, and Vancha, another prince. They head out for a witch's house, named Evanna. Once they're there, they travel to the Cirque Du Freak. One night, Darren follows Evanna to a band of vampaneze. Darren goes back to get Mr Crepsley and Vanca. They rush there and start to fight with the vamaneze. You will have to read this book to find out what happens. It is a really good book.

Darren Shan, once just a vampire's assistant, is now a vampire Prince. As a Prince he is even more concerned about the Vampanese and the coming of the Vampanese Lord. Mister Tiny has brought news that the Vampanese Lord has been identified and who might be able to stop him. Darren and Mr. Crepsley set out on a journey to find and stop the Vampanese Lord before he can cause the fall of all vampires.
We finally see the Cirque Du Freak again and many of its regulars as well as meeting many new and interesting characters. A witch has provided more information for the search party and there is a glimmer of hope. By the end they have fulfilled parts of the prophesies but it is not over yet. More adventures are predicted and there is still a chance of triumph.
I have to say that I am really enjoying this series. The mystery of the Vampanese Lord is intriguing and I am sure I have figured out some of what will happen in future books but I can't be completely sure. Still a good series and still going strong. If you have been reading the previous books, you will be sure to keep going until the end.
