Publisher's summary

Half-vampire Darren and his new friend are on the hunt for a monster in the third installment of New York Times best-selling Saga of Darren Shan series.

Darren, the vampire's assistant, gets a taste of the city when he leaves the Cirque du Freak with Evra the snake-boy and Mr. Crepsley. When corpses are discovered - corpses drained of blood - Darren and Evra are compelled to hunt down whatever foul creature is committing such horrendous acts. Meanwhile, beneath the streets, evil stalks Darren and Evra, and all clues point to Mr. Crepsley. Can they escape, or are they doomed to perish in the tunnels of blood?

I don't understand how overlooked this series is.

I'd say it's a better story than most mainstream works. After years, I have the pleasure to rediscovered the saga here. Although, I don't remember young Darren to be this unlikeable. Most of the time, he is acting like a brat, and a really stupid one at that. I don't understand where Larten takes such strength of will to not just strangle him sometimes. Probably driven by guilt for thrusting this life onto him. Even though it's not at all as bad as he makes it out to be. He says that he makes the best out of being a half-vampire, but I really don't see that.

Minor lull in a great series

Not the best book of the series, but the series itself is good enough to justify the minor lull of romantic interest and doing some world/lore building.
