Darren, Evra, and Mr. Crepsley take on Mr. Crepsley's home town. A crazy vampaneze is on a rampage. Will they stop him before he kills Darren's new found love Debbie?

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
Review by Hannah
Percy Jackson is missing and in his place, Jason, Piper and Leo show up. Jason is from a Roman camp instead of a Greek camp, and has lost all of his memories which leads to a lot of confusion. Jason is the son of Zeus, Piper is the daughter of Aphrodite, and Leo is the son of Hephaestus. They go on a quest to free Hera from her cage, and prevent a war between the gods. You should read this book because it is a very good sequel series to the Percy Jackson Series and very interesting because it compares Greek Mythology and Roman Mythology.
