This is the second book in the Cirque Du Freak series..(Young Adult Fiction)

It's the story of Darren the half-vampire and assitant to his mentor Mr. Crepsley (the vampire) to travel all around, then they decide to join the Cirque Du Freak.


Darren needed friendship and found it with Evra, then while the Cirque is resting he meets a boy named Sam Grest who becomes a very dear friend to Darren.. and a nature guy named RV.

Some troubles happen in the Cirque and Darren is devastated..

A very nice series, I already started the third book..

Quick and fun, not scary, and yes - not without heavy handed foreshadowing and some dumb moments. But quick and fun! It's definitely written for kids; I wouldn't have thought of this as YA, maybe more elementary/upper elementary. At that age I would've loved a story about a traveling, freak show circus. At this age too :)

El libro es la continuación directa del Tenebroso Cique du Freak, y da seguimiento a la saga, en donde cada libro es un nuevo capito sobre la vida del autor. Me es importante recalcar que si es necesario leer el primer tomo para entender lo que sucede en este libro. Si hay elementos únicos sobre la trama, pero te quedas sin contexto en caso de haber leído la entrega anterior.
