Legions of
Darren Shan fans
worldwide will
breathe a sigh
of relief with
the publication
of Lord Loss,
the first in the
new Demonata
series. Parents
be aware, this
is far more
gruesome than
the "Vampire"
series, with
lots of demons
and werewolves -
definitely not
for the faint
hearted, or
those under
twelve! The
story features
Grubbs Grady -
who comes home
unexpectedly one
day and finds he
opens the door
to hell rather
than his home
where three
demons have
killed his
parents and
sister in a
frenzy of blood
and nastiness.
Grubbs escapes,
but no-one
believes his
wild story and
he is left
languishing in
the asylum until
a visit from his
Uncle Dervish
sets him on a
long and scary
road to the
truth. This is
an excellent,
fast paced novel
with something
scary happening
at nearly every
turn of the
page. This keeps
the reader
enthralled right
up to the
explosive end. |
