In this 12th and final installment of the Cirque Du Freak series, the time has finally come for Darren to fight his ex-best friend, Steve Leopard. Darren reunites his nephew with his sister, Annie. He learns that Mr. Tall was Mr. Tiny’s son. In addition, even shocking news is that Darren and Steve are half-brothers. Their really father is actually Mr. Tiny. In addition, Mr. Tiny is the father of Evans.
One last fight occurs and Steve stabs Darren and kills him. Darren finds himself in the lake of souls. He has been turned into a little person just like Harkat. Darren is given a chance to go back in time to the night he first saw the Cirque Du Freak perform. Will he change his destiny?
It is hard to describe the final book. There are many twists and turns thrown in that at times make it confusing. I thought it was a little silly to have Mr. Tiny have several children. Despite its flaws, the ending is bittersweet.
