In
the 11 book in the series Darren must go back to his home town. When he gets
their he goes to his old house when he finds his older sister Anne. The last
time he saw her she was just a little girl. That’s not the only thing though;
his sister also has a son. So that would make Darren an uncle. The only
question is who is the father of his new nephew? Also Darren learns that his
old best friend Steve could become the lord of shadows. This book is full of
twists and turns and I think anyone who likes vampires will like this book.

Loser!
Loser 

You have probably just clicked on this
book review to look at the title, Loser. Yes this book’s title matches the
story. It’s about a kid that is unnoticed and does everything differently in
school. Besides the fact of him loving it! He sucks at it. His penmanship is atrocious
and his work is even worse.
When he is little he doesn’t brush his
hair, walks weird and doesn’t care about personal hygiene. That all seems to
change when he gets older, all this kids start calling him loser and it starts
to ware on him. And that kid is named Donald Zinkoff.
It doesn’t stop there, when the family he
gets attached to have a missing child, he goes out in the freezing blizzard to
find her. No trace, but when all hope is lost he gives up and decides she is
dead from toddling off from her family and now he feels like it was his fault. Will
he find out something else? Or is that it. You can find out for reading the book yourself! :)
