Review:

''This installment is a must-read for fans of the series. They will not be able to put it down. The prologue at the beginning of the book is great for providing the background of Cirque du Freak for those who are unfamiliar with the series. The story itself is enthralling and will create instant Darren Shan fans of any new readers. As with all books in the series, the cliffhanger ending will leave readers desperate for the next chapter of the Darren Shan saga.'' --Voice of Youth Advocates Magazine, or (VOYA)

''Overflowing with guts, gore, and unguessable plot twists, this series is a stylishly written alternative to the now jaded Point Horror.'' --Times Educational Supplement (UK)

''Action-packed . . . Simple language, a fast pace, humor, and a suspenseful plot are the hallmarks of this seventh entry in the series.'' --School Library Journal

''Well paced and smoothly flowing, Darren Shan has crafted another finely wrought effort in the bestselling Saga of Darren Shan.'' --Children's Literature

''Chock-full of the suspense that's made Shan's 'Cirque du Freak' series a smash hit, the seventh installment revs up when Mr. Tiny visits Vampire Mountain with surprising revelations about the Vampaneze Lord and some new, unexpected troops he's managed to create . . . Hunters of the Dusk is a darkly thrilling, crucial read in the series.'' --Barnes & Noble, editorial review
