About the Book:
It has been another six years since we last saw Darren, and the war between the vampires and vampaneze is still going strong. The Vampaneze Lord has not only risen, but is now a half vampire. However, a visit from Mr. Tiny reveals several factors. One: the vampires can still win the war if the Vampaneze Lord is stopped before he is fully blooded. Two: there will only be four chances to do this. Three: this will only occur if three vampires (and only three) try to stop it, and thos...more

So this book picked up 6 years after the previous book. I have no idea why this author loves writing about things 6 years later. I find it kind of annoying, there would be so many things that would have occurred. For example, Darren took the trials the 2nd time and passed. I would certainly have liked to see how he passed it.
But well, at least this time round, it showed that Darren was even more mature. He has really grown since the last book, and I wanted to at least witness some of that.

This book was hardly a book. It ended at the beginning- just when things were starting to pick up. I felt cheated of a real story. It's like the author decided he has many more books to finish his story anyway, so one that was just a filler would be okay.
The humour was corny, the emotions were cheesy and Vanna March was grossly overdone. Also, how could Darren seriously not realise that he'd been looking at his reflection in the water? Even after talking to it? Ridiculous. That part was pretty s...more

In the seventh book of this series, not long into his years as a Prince, Darren is once again visited by Desmond Tiny (the creator of vampires and Little People).

He announces that two of them are Darren and Mr. Crepsley, but the third one they must find on their way. The hunters are told by Mr. Tiny that they will cross paths with the Lord of the Vampaneze four times throughout t

I liked this book better than the 6th one as there was more character development and action.
We Darren develop a lot more in this one, he becomes a teenager after he goes through a process called the purge, which will allow him to become a fully blooded vampire.
I like that Darren and Larten went back to the Crique du Freak in this because that's how this whole adventure started off and we got to see the characters that haven't been mentioned for a while in the other books.

This book I think was one of the better books out of the twelve. This book did not annoy me of bother me or even bore me in anyway possible. This book was full of adventure and action. It is very strange at the end but I think the book is still very good. In this book the prince of Vampires (Darren) tries to fight off the vampaneze. This book is about Darren and Mr. Crepslay trying to find the vampaneze lord.

"We were a strange group, no doubt about it. We had almost nothing in common with humans. They were creatures of the technological age, but we belonged to the past -- vampires knew nothing of computers, satellite dishes, microwave ovens, or any other modern conveniences; we traveled by foot most of the time, had simple tastes and pleasures, and hunted like animals. Where humans sent airplanes to wage their wars and fought by pressing buttons, we battled with swords and hands. Vampires and humans...more
