Trials of Death
by Darren Shan
This has been my favorite Darren book so far! It's completely action packed and because it's the turning point for Darren's hero journey, it's a fast and terrible (in the good way) ride!
What I liked about this book: Darren is growing up. He's facing decisions that alter the course of his life and those he cares for and learns what it means to be a Vampire. The codes, the loyalty, the "old-school" ways of the Vampires may seem foreign and unyielding, but they have purpose. Darren learns to fight with his fists as well as his mind and begins his growth as both a human and a Vampire. Great life lessons incorporated in this book with such vivid imagery through the Trials that you feel like you're there with Darren facing the greatest tribulations of his life!
Summary: The trials: seventeen ways to die unless the luck of the vampire is with you. Darren Shan must pass five fearsome trials to prove himself to the vampire clan - or else face the stakes of the Hall of Death. But Vampire Mountain holds hidden threats. Sinister, potent forces are gathering in the darkness. In this nightmarish world of bloodshed and betrayal, death may be a blessing. . . .
