A review by sam_hartwig
Birth of a Killer by Darren Shan

3.0

When I heard that "The Saga of Larten Crepsley" was coming out I was excited because I really enjoyed reading "The Saga of Darren Shan". This is the prequel to Darren Shan as it is about Darren's master Larten Crepsley. It follows his beginnings of becoming a vampire and the life he led. We come across many familiar characters from the first series, and even though this one is set many years before the first series we all know vampires live for a long time so it wasn't surprising to see names I knew. It took me a few chapters before I got into it but once I was in the right mood I tore through it at a fast pace. I'm really looking forward to the next one to see which path or "DEStiny" Larten & I are taken on.
