A review by dinnureads
Vampire Rites Trilogy by Darren Shan

5.0

I guess you could say that it's a horror fantasy story but I really have never found any book frightening...Exciting or gross yes but not scary :D I think that Darren Shan has written a fascinating story about very different kind of vampires that are more real and less shiny and romantic. As a movie it could even be scary for me (who wouldn't find spiders, rough vampires and other monsters scary?). Some of the storyline was a bit predictable but I did not mind it as some of my predictions did not come alive and thus were a nice surprise.
NB! Shan kills his characters quite often, so beware of getting too attached to them, you could bawl your eyes out like that :)
