This series is one of the best if your interested in reading about vampires. this will blow twilight's girly crap about love and vampires out of the water. this series is about a boy giving up his regular life by becoming a vampire so he could save his friends life after being bit by a turantula. READ the books and you wont have to read this crappy review =D. after turning he has to go through his life fighting vampenze to save the world and so on. i dont want to spoil the story so go on and read the series. you'll see what i mean when i say its better than twilight. =D

i tipically hate vampires. but this book was great. i loved that it had so much chaos in it. the fact that the little boy didn't even want to become a vampire but ended up becoming one to save his friend was an ending i never thought was going to happen.
it kept me on the edge of myseatthrough out the whole book. i would recomend this book to anyone that likes freak shows and vampires.
LOVED IT<3

This is a truly wonderful series and I seriously recommend picking them up.

Each of the books are pretty short, so going for these collections of three stories you’re getting much better value for your money and much more fun with each book.

If you’re a vampire fan, if you want something other than vampire romance, jump on this now!
