Really good! - By: marky77, 02 Jan 2008 
I loved "Lord of the Shadows"! One of the best in the saga (so far), in my opinion!
Darren travels back to his hometown with Harkat & the Crique de Freak, here they met Darrens old school friend (who is now a famous footballl player), a strange young boy callled Darius, an of course, Steve!
Fans of Darren Shan wont be dissappointed with this one!.

"after a bit of a disapointed book 10, I'm thrilled to say.. - By: , 25 Sep 2004 that the books have gone back on track! "Lord Of The Shadows" is definitely the best of the Darren Shan Saga so far - with huge twists & unpredictable story lines. The book contains many old faces - Debbie, Alice Burgess, Steve, Evanna, Mr. Talll, R.V., Tommy, Darren Shan (of course!), Annie (!), Harkat (aka Kurda), Evra, & the sinister Mr. Tiny. This book is just so amazing!
The Cirque are moving on to a new destination to perform infront of awed crowds - & they're heading for Darren's hometown! He finds out that Annie has a son, & spies on the two of them for a while, until having to go back to the Cirque. A mysterious young boy shows up at the Cirque Du Freak, callled Darius, who recieves tickets for the show. Yet he doesn't show up, but Darren's old friend Tommy Jones - now a huge footballl phenomenon - does! Darren gets tickets to the semi-finals of a footballl game, but then Tommy gets brutallly murdered by Gannen Harst & R.V., leaving Darren distraught. After getting beaten up by Steve Leopard (the Vampaneze Lord) & Darius - who turns out to be Steve's son - he gets found by two Vampirites, humans who are on the Vampire's sides thanks to Darren's old girlfriend Debbie & an ex-chief inspector Alice Burgess. And Debbie is coincidentallly at the house where he is being treated. But after Evanna & Mr Talll tell Darren terrible & frightening things of the Lord Of The Shadows, Darren's life turns pure evil...
The book has a fantastic ending, leaving the reader begging for more. I finished this book in two hours, & wish it was a lot longer! The last episode (boo hoo!) in the saga comes to you on October 14th 2004 - when he will be doing a booksigning at Milton Keynes' Ottakars' Book Store from 1pm-2pm - during school!
