Cirque Du Freak: Tunnels of Blood by Darren Shan


Shan, Darren. Cirque Du Freak: Tunnels of Blood. New York: Little, Brown, and Company, 2002.

With this third installment of Cirque Du Freak, Darren Shan will continue to hold on to his readers. Crepsley will take his assistant and new found friend, the snake-boy on a mysterious mission. While Darren and Evra are running the town, Crepsley will be on a mysterious mission that turns out to be a “vampaneze” that believes in killing his victims. The problem is that Crepsley does not share his mission and the boys think that he is the killer. After many nights of following Crepsley, they will soon interfere that will cause more problems for this trio. To add to this great obstacle will be Shan’s new found friend who happens to be a girl that he likes. From meat lockers to sewer tunnels, Shan will keep his readers coming back for more. Although this book belongs to a series it could definitely stand on its own if readers prefer, due to Shan’s explicit details of the characters and their past. Don’t worry though because the ending will bring some closure, but have readers itching for more.
