Es el libro número 9 de la saga de Darren Shan, sigue con la cacería de Lord Vampaneze después de que los cazadores cayeron en una trampa, como se las arreglan para salir de ella. Al releer la historia me doy cuenta de que hay un desfase, en teoría han pasado años desde que Darren Shan fue un adolescente y en estricto sentido debería de tener un nivel de madurez personal y emocional acorde a los años pasados, en la trama su madurez es igual a la de un adolescente. Asimismo, me parece un libro donde pintan a Mr. Crepsley y a Vancha demasiado “inocentes”, en el contexto del libro, al menos Mr. Crepsley a vivido en medio de la humanidad por un tiempo considerable y su experiencia debería preverlo de algunos de los peligros del libro.

La historia está bien (nada extraordinario pero entretenida) y es corta, así que puedes leerlo rápidamente y seguir con la saga. Algo que me parece importante recalcar es que si es necesario leer los libros anteriores para entender lo que sucede en este libro.

Things are looking bleak for Darren and his friends-pursued by the police,vigilante mobs and the enemy vampaneze,they still have to find the King of the Vampaneze and destroy him to save the vampire race.

I like the Saga books but I felt it has been obvious for several books now who the King of the Vampaneze is so the big reveal at the end of this book did fall a bit flat for me.However on the plus side this episode has great action and a racing plotline that keeps you interested and is one of my favourites so far.They go from one crisis to the next and I really enjoyed it.

Mr Crepsley...NOOOOOOOOOOO!
