This is Darren
Shan's fifth
book in his
series of 10,
"The Demonata",
and, as always,
he's a joy to
read. Though not
as good as the
previous four,
this still has
plenty of
action, once it
gets going.
Grubbs Grady is
settling down to
live as a normal
teenager, with
his uncle
Dervish. He gets
a girlfriend and
makes a new best
friend. He goes
to parties and
lives the normal
life of a
teenager. This
part of the book
is pretty boring
compared with
the rest of the
book, so keep
reading. It all
goes downhill
when he starts
getting the
symptoms of the
family curse -
turning into a
werewolf. He
tries to keep
this from his
friends and his
half brother,
but it soon gets
suspicious. The
question is,
where are the
demons? This
isn't as
exciting as
Shan's other
books, but he
continues to
impress.
