The Vampires Assistant (The Saga of Darren Shan, Book 2)
The Vampires Assistant (The Saga of Darren Shan, Book 2) | Darren Shan
13 posts | 79 read | 5 to read
The amazing manga retelling of Darren Shans international best-selling vampire saga, with illustrations by Japanese artist Takahiro Arai. Darren joins the vampire, Mr Crepsley, as his assistant and they return to the Cirque du Freak. There, Darren makes friends with the snake-boy, Evra Von (who knows what Darren has become). He also meets a local boy, Sam, and RV, an eco-warrior and animal lover (who do not).Darren begins to enjoy his life among the Cirque performers and starts coming to terms with his half-vampire existence. But he defiantly refuses to drink human blood and tries desperately to cling on to the part of him which is still human.Then disaster strikes, and Darren has to make a terrible choice... The stunning illustrations and manga format give a new dimension to this ever-popular vampire saga, available for the first time in translation in the UK. This will be a must-have for Shan fans and manga aficionados alike.

This is just a page-turner of a series! Darren is learning some hard truths about what it means to be a vampire and the prices you must pay to be one. We get more characters to know and love in this volume. June‘s Double #BookSpin #FlourishAndBlotts Includes a Magical Creature

4/5 for this one. I‘m enjoying this series. It is not your typical middle grade book. There are truly evil characters in this series. Some of this book was sad. I enjoyed the creepy twists though. I will be continuing this series.

Darren is clinging on to his humanity, and refuses to come to grips with his new life as a half-vampire. Mr Crepsley realises that Darren is lonely, so he decides to have them join the Cirque du Freak. These books are so fun - childish at first, so these first few aren't my absolute favourites, but the maturity develops with the series. 3⭐

Snuggling in and starting some Halloween movies. Starting the night with The Vampire‘s Assistant on Netflix. I honestly don‘t know if I‘ve seen this movie before.

Reading the second book of the Cirque Du Freak series with my fourth grader. It's the story of a boy who gets roped into becoming a vampires assistant to save his best friends life after attending a showing of the underground Circue Du Freak in his hometown. A fun fast little fall read so far. 🧛‍♂️🍁🍂

ReadingOver50 Love this series 5y
HeathHof @ReadingOver50 It is a fun little series so far! My daughter really likes it so I'm thinking about getting her the set for Christmas. 5y

I still loved this so much, 12 year old me was an emotional wreck for this series though 😂 I can‘t believe how much I had forgotten about it can‘t wait to see how the rest of the series goes 2nd time around.

I am really enjoying this series! It is middle grade, but the story lines thus far are engaging and the characters are well developed and Ralph Lister is a fabulous narrator!
