This is the
beginning of
another series
for Darren
Shan. As you may
or may not know,
we here at
gothicrevue
central love Mr.
Shan's other
series (of the
Vampaneze type).
Whereas the
tales of Darren
Shan are about
vampires and
freak show
people, this one
is about demons
who actually
live in this
world contrary
to what everyone
thinks. Grubbs
Grady is the
main character
and he has very
smart parents
who teach him
all about chess
(which he thinks
is "just a
game").
He comes home
one day to find
his parents and
sister dead and
there is when
the story of
chess-loving-demons
begins. Same
type of
characters, same
plot
rollercoasters
of Darren Shan's
other books, but
with demons. I'm
eagerly awaiting
the second book
of this series
"The Demon
Thief" when it
comes out in
April of 2006 as
much as the 11th
book in the
"Darren Shan"
series.
Our rating (10)
specifically not
JUST for kids,
we all love
these books!
