Cirque du Freak review

Cirque Du Freak: Not a lot of people know about this book series, but it is actually really great. This is a story on a kid named Darren Shan; he had to sell his soul to become a Vampire just to save his friend Steve Leonard. I’m really sure whoever reads this book would like it. People thought that Twilight series was good then check out this book series. I would recommend this book to people that love either vampire books or action books. Kids ages 10+ should read this series.
