  3. Characters Book contains over 10 characters. Main Characters Darren - interested in spiders Steve - interested in vampires thus being drawn to this freak show.

  5. PLOT - Resolution Even though Darren became a vampire he was able to use the other half as a human and save his friend Steve of cleaning his poison blood. By remaining a half- vampire Darren is able to continue to play with the prize spider without issues from Mr. Crepsley.

  6. My Opinion With respect to being believable, I think it was not believable because vampires aren’t real, nobody can come from the afterlife and they can’t be half-vampire. The 1st part of the book had much action, plot is set and drama is interesting. 2nd half of the book was less action but ended with fulfillment and suspense. I would continue the series of Cirque De Freak. .
