It's been twelve years since the last time the vampires have gathered on Vampire Mountain, and once more they must make the long and hard trip up to Vampire Mountain. The trip is made for full vampire and older half vampires though. A lot of pressure of put on Darren, and to add to it now a prophecy about the Vampaneze King has arisen.
Darren also learns more about Mr. Tiny's Little People. He even gets to hear one finally speak. So many things are happening at once and Mr. Crepsley trust in Darren in put on the line. Darren also makes some new friends along the way to the Vampire Mountain.
Vampire Mountain is the fourth book in the awesome Cirque Du Freak series. This book doesn't have too many exiting parts in it. It really just paves the way for the next book. This book is still superb, even if it wasn't as thrilling as many of the others are.

Not a Stand Alone Title
4 Stars
Unlike volumes 1-3, in which the story concludes at the end of the book, Vampire Mountain leaves you hanging with the mystery unsolved, the story only partially complete. Now I have to wait until Book 5 arrives! If I had known, I would have purchased both at once. Other than that complaint, this book contains the same pleasures as the first three (fast read, interesting mythology of this world, not too dark). Several years in the life of Darren Shan have gone by since volume 3 concluded. Bonus! We finally learn more about Mr. Des Tiny, the little people, and the vampire princes.

Cirque Du Freak is the forth book in the series. Although i have not read the other books i was able to keep up with the story very well. This book is a stroy about a thirteen year old vampire, Darran Shan, who works at the Cirque Du Freak, a Circus of Terror. One day Mr. Creapsly, Darran's mentor says to Darran that they are going to Vampire Mountain. It is a place where all the Vampires meet every twelve years. Darran, being a young Vampire, is still unaware of the Vampire customs and is shocked to hear of the jouney's difficulty. It is said the journey tests to see who is worry of the council. If you make it you are worry but if you don't you die trying. Before leaving a man by the name Mr. Tiny, who helped create Vampire Mountian hundreds of years ago, talks to Mr. Creapsly and Darran. He says he is sending three little people to escort them. The Vampires make the journey with great difficultly but eventually get there. When there one of the little people, Harkut Mulds sends a letter to the Vampire Princes saying the Vampanaze Lord is rising. Panic spreads around the mountain. What will happen? That is for u to find out.

scared to death
5 Stars
I really like Vampire Mountain. I have read evey book in the Cirque Du Freak series. In this book Darren gets blooded to the stone of blood through a sharp needle. Every vampire has to get blooded or they are sentenced to the Hall of Death. It is amazing he has the guts to go up to Seba, a champion fighter. This book is good for people with the thirst for blood and gor. Darren is very gutsy and never gives up somthing he believes in. Would you do what Darren does? I would not do anything like him.
