tDarren Shan, hunting the Vampaneze in a city, finally finds what he’s looking for. He starts to hunt them down, hoping to strike the Vampaneze Lord down. But his quest is nowhere as simple as he thinks.
t“Killer of the Dawn” was a book that made me want to keep reading the series. The previous two books in the series weren’t very satisfying for me, and I was considering moving on to another series. Thankfully I gave this book a chance, otherwise I would have never read the remaining books, which I ended up enjoying. “Killers of the Dawn” was enjoyable by itself. There’s definitely no lack of action, there is an aspect of mystery, and there is a huge shock at the end (which has become a trend in the series).
tThere isn’t much that I disliked about the book, especially with my standards rather low after the last two books. What I feel were the biggest improvements were that for one, the book stuck to one theme, and second, it felt like its own book, rather than a monotonous extension of another one. That is why I would give this book 5 stars.

Not happy. I knew I knew, was tricked into thinking maybe I didn't know. Then grieved, then revoked the grief to only grieve again... To then know what I originally knew.
Damn you!
Crepsley death was in vanes and has royally ticked me off.
Steve needs to die, never disliked a character in a book so much the absolute swine.

Let me start with, this book is just as amazing as the rest!!!!! I am thoroughly entertained and the action is great. But... that ending just killed me. I know that in a series this long not everyone services, but did it have to be one of my favorites?!?! Like come on man!!!!
I do love this, but I’m still sad!!! The plot was great!!! I love the introduction of a few new characters. They aren’t my favorites or anything, but it brought in a new dynamic. I actually cannot believe there are only three books left!!! How on earth is everything going to be wrapped up in only three more to go!?!?!? I’ll find out soon enough!! Mainly cause I’m binging this series.
At this point, I recommend this to those who love Darren Shan or vampires!! And I also highly recommend the audio books for this series. Ralph Lister is perfect!!!

I do enjoy this series. I SWEAR!! But the way these books have been paced have confused me so much. The action in this book is fun and very fast paced. I feel like our three hunters (Crepsley, Darren, and Vancha) are facing off against the Vampaneze the entire time. Every turn they make has something else crop up for them to deal with (people learning that vampires are real, the cop thinking they're lying, angry mobs in apartment complexes....)
But the past two books were slow. This book is makes up for a lot of the slowness of the past few books. There is STILL a lot for the hunters to face before defeating the Vampaneze Lord.
And lets talk about Crepsley dying! my heart hurts. He hasn't really been fair to Darren this whole series. Never really telling Darren the whole truth about vampire customs and culture. And now Darren's mentor is GONE and we have 3 books left. WHAT
