Summary

Trials of Death is the second book of a grueling, three-part Darren Shan adventure.

The trials: There are seventeen ways to die unless the luck of the vampire is with you. Darren Shan must pass five of these fearsome trials to prove himself to the vampire clan - or face the stakes of the Hall of Death. But Vampire Mountain holds hidden threats. Sinister, potent forces are gathering in the darkness. In this nightmarish world of bloodshed and betrayal, death may be a blessing.

Author Darren Shan's vivid detail and original voice will continue to have young readers glued to their headphones in horror.

Best book ever

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It was great because the language was very descriptive and it really pulled you in. When Darren was going through the trials it felt like you were actually there!
There was nothing I disliked about this book.

The betrayal of one of the MC's best friends.

I enjoyed the whole book. I liked the way that the narrator changed his tone to change the character.
