I must admit that while I found Scream Street: Fang of the Vampire a good read – see my review , I have found the subsequent books even faster and funnier than the first.

Book 2 – Blood of the Witch

When the blood supply to Scream Street dries up, poor Mr Negative, Resus’ dad, suffers intense withdrawal symptoms. Rather than biting the neighbours he resorts to sucking the blood of rats and inadvertently initiates a plague of vampiric creatures. The vampire rats are bad. A vampire cat makes for a smile, but a vampire zombie who sounds like the hippy, Neil, from ‘The Young Ones’ … now that had me chuckling into my cup of slime! ‘Hey, Dude! Come and get your blood-sucked, man!’

How will Luke, Resus and Cleo stem the tide of vampiric creatures and prevent Sir Otto from getting the second relic before they do? Well however they do it, you can be sure it will involve some clever word play and jokes that will have you laughing and groaning out loud!

Don’t miss this one. It’s a riot of action, clever twists and humour that will leave you smiling long after you’ve turned the final page.

Review of Book 3 – Heart of the Mummy will follow soon.
