Tunnels of Blood

Tunnels of Blood, by Darren Shan, is the fourth amazing book in the Cirque du Freak series. Mr. Crepsley is visited by an old friend, Gavner Purl, and what they talk about Darren (and us!) have to clue of. But Mr. Crepsley announces that they must leave the Cirque, and Darren is not happy. He enjoys life at the cirque and is upset to leave, so Evra, the snake boy, comes along. The two young boys are clueless about what Crepsley does in the city until they see a news report one day. The Report states that six bodies were found drained of blood. Could it have been Mr. Crepsley?

 I was in the edge of my seat the entire time I read this book! Darren Shan has a certain Talent for spinning extraordinary tales in each new book! It was interesting to read and learn all of the new things about vampires. I would recommend this book to preteen-teen boys and girls, mainly boys, because they might find Darren's journey more interesting.
