Blood Beast is
about Grubbs
Grady, a
teenager who has
battled demons
to save his
half-brother's
life. Now, he is
fighting for his
own. When his
Uncle Dervish
goes away for a
weekend, Grubbs
throws a party.
During this
party, he begins
to feel sick.
This is just the
beginning. When
his uncle comes
home, he doesn't
tell Dervish his
suspicions: that
he is suffering
from the family
curse and will
soon become a
werewolf. So, he
continues life
as normal. He
and his two
friends, Bill-E
and Loch start
digging out in
his backyard for
the treasure
that is said to
be buried there.
However, the
next day, the
hole is much
deeper than when
they left.
Grubbs was
responsible. For
some reason
overnight he had
lost control to
the werewolf
growing in him
and it had dug
the hole very
deep. Then, it
collapses,
opening up to an
enormous cave.
In it, Loch
falls, hitting
his head, and
dies. Then, over
the next few
weeks, Bill-E,
Grubbs, and
Loch's sister,
Reni, Grubbs's
girlfriend, go
to numerous
sessions with
their new
counselor, Juni
Swan, whom
Grubbs had met
months ago in
the demon town
Slawter. She
helped them with
their problems,
and fell in love
with Devish.
Meanwhile,
Dervish is doing
his best to help
Grubbs with his
werewolf
problems.
However, not all
is as it seems.
Will Grubbs be
able to hold of
his inner
werewolf? Read
"The Demonata
Blood Beast" to
find out!
Although I
haven't read any
of the first
four books in
the Demonata
series, I caught
on quickly. The
author does a
very good job
explaining past
events in a
short period of
time. This book
was a very good
read. It was
nonstop action,
with Grubbs
fighting his
internal battle
against the
werewolf while
simultaneously
fighting
battles, both
emotional and
physical,
outside. All of
the characters
are unique, with
interesting
personalities.
Although I even
had trouble
reading it at
night with some
of the more
frightening
parts, this was
a great book.
The Demonata
Blood Beast gets
a nine out of
ten from me.
Some of the
thoughts and
nightmares of
the character
are quite
frightening. Not
a good idea for
young readers.
