This book is about a kid name Darren; he lived a happy life with him and his family. Till one day something strange happened to him he and his friend named Steve where in school when they found a paper that said “Cirque Du Freak” .They saw that they had a show of unbelievable animals that were inhuman. They went to buy the tickets they went to see the show but after a while when the show was over they stayed for a little while and they caught that a guy that was a vampire.
They never thought they were going to get into to this big deal just because they went to a show of weird things. Darren and Steve were nothing alike they been friends since they were small but Steve always have been different from Darren. Steve has the more troublemaker type of guy, the one who punks on the other kids. When they got home Darren had the spider that they had in the show, he had practically stole the spider. Days passed Steve and Darren were playing with the poisonous spider they never thought the risk they were taking when they were playing with the spider. The spider almost killed Steve, Steve went to the hospital and nobody knew how to cure the poisonous bite. Darren went to find the owner of the spider witch was the Vampire he was called Crepsley. He went looking for him telling him hell do everything he can to save his friend, if and only he gives him a cure for the poisonous bite. Months passed and he became the vampire’s assistant he worked in the “Cirque Du freak” then he and the vampire went to the vampire mountain where there he had to pass some trial to become a respected half-vampire.
Darren passed all of the trails that the other vampires but him threw. The were amazed because only the vampire generals could pass the trails and they took them years to pass it or failed it. But Darren was a brave kid because he had passed the trials. But he never expected that one of the vampires was going to betray them for the vampaneeze the vampaneeze were like vampires but they were the ones who killed. Darren was going for another journey he wanted to get revenge because, it wasn’t going to stay like this. I really liked this book or the whole section of Cirque Du Freak. I really recommend you to read this book it’s going to live you for more you’re going to want to read more and more.
