Vampirates Series:
Dead Deep (short story published in 2007 - doesn't have to be read to follow the series)
Review:
Dead Deep is a short story that is set between Demons of the Ocean and Tide of Terror (the first 2 books in the series), it was published for World Book Day and you can easily read the rest of the series without picking up this book. However, if you're a fan of the series like me then it is definitely worth trying to get hold of a copy. In later books in the series several mentions are made about the "lost weekend" that occurred when Connor, Bart & Jez went on shore leave and I've been wanting to find out what happened for a while now. As I've finished reading the rest of the series this was a perfect way to dip back into the world of the Vampirates.
I don't want to go into details of the story as it would be too easy to give spoilers but Dead Deep is an exciting adventure with the three buccaneers and was a great addition to the series. If you've read the other books like I have then you'll recognise a few of the characters who crop up from later books and it answered a few questions I had about their previously unknown history. This is a fun, fast read and definitely recommended to Vampirates fans.
