Short Review: I don't know why it took so long for me to finish this series, they're not big books at all so i have no reason. Holy Moly is back and i just can't help but giggle thinking about all these soldiers getting attacking by freaking babies, it's amazing.
Spoiler
The fact that owl man was Dr. O's nephew was fun, thou they didn't seem to be on the same page at all. The fact that Dr. O and the clown are formal Nazis, not surprised at all since they were very famous for doing experiments. The ending, ugh, 'haha just kidding i lied and told you X was Y instead.' lame! but i was glad she throw the second viral down too. The 1000 years later thing, wow, i need another book set in that work, and it warms my heart that Holy Moly is still taking care of herMisc.
Book Boyfriend: n/a
Best Friend Material: The MC and Holy Moly.

Zo. BAM. Dát is hoe je een serie eindigt! Ongeëvenaard dit. Een heerlijk epische eindstrijd, en dat je dan gaat nadenken over hoe deze gruwelijkheid zo gruwelijk mogelijk kan eindigen - want het is en blijft een Darren Shan boek - en dat je dan alsnog omver geblazen wordt. Love it!

For a finale, there was a whole lot of talking for the first hundred pages or so...
Also, I don't know how I feel about the ending, just because it worked doesn't mean I like it, maybe because I feel its not the route I envisioned the series might go down when I first began reading.
Overall, books 10-12 are still quick and enjoyable reads that kept me hooked, but I feel they were the weakest plot and action wise.
B and Holy Moly remained amazing, but unfortunately the book just felt almost anticlimactic to me after the previous two books of build up.
I wanted to love it, but I can't, though the series as a whole is fantastic and I would recommend it!

Wow... just wow...
Went through such a whirl of emotions and shocks while reading this series. Some parts really took me by surprise, others were just sad through and through.
And you do wonder, what happens next?
What happened after the ending? Was it really what they were fighting for?
Just a quick, thrill packed series as always Mr. Shan.

Okay Darren, you got me, now where's the rest of the book? Come on, you can't write an AMAZING series and then just cut us off like that. I know I sound like a selfish toddler, BUT I WANT MORE BOOKS! Oh my god! This book was fucking amazing! Every second there's another twist! Every second my pulse was racing as I feared for what happens next! I don't know how I'm going to survive with this series ending!

Notes:
What a predictable mess. It was kind of entertaining? I think the first book and 7-8 were good. The rest were a toned down slasher flick of backstabbing ridiculousness.

Can't believe that's the end of the series. 12 books, which I've been with from the start. I wished I'd read them when they were all published, because they're all short and not really memorable by themselves. I'll probably need to re-read them all so I can piece everything together. I'd kind of expected Oystein to have changed the names , but so did not expect the babies to be resistant, or for B to have survived! And we don't even get to know how it ends! So cruel, Shan, but so good!

So I have lot of thoughts about this series. It started really strong, went culty and everyone was just insane after that. Not in a real mental health way, but stereotypes. The more I think about the things that happen to B, the more I have issue with it. So this being the final book it wrapped things up, with the the pacing of the series I had stopped caring about things, especially with the last book's twist. It's a ending that makes some sense. I have stopped caring. I think if I was 13 with no income, I would have lets these books go. Never getting them from the library after picking them up and then down, then they weeded out before I ever read them. But I brought them while I still care about the ending and they were short so I read them. So here we are.
I don't like the way B is written. It's not consisted and the most horrifying thing that happens in the whole series is still (series the child bride thing and then the way that it's treated. I guess B is like 14 by the end of the series, she still definitely a teenager in mental age . I tried to write an actual review on my blog.
