Any novel that
starts out with
such immediate
action as "My
eyes! My eyes!
They stabbed out
my eyes!" must
be full of
page-turning
adventure. Right
from the start
you are hooked
in this third
installment of
the "Demonata"
series. This
book comes from
the bestselling
"Cirque du
Freak" series
author, Darren
Shan. When the
initial action
settles, and
Dervish, Grubbs'
uncle, realizes
that Lord Loss
did not, in
fact, take over
his eyes or
body, readers
are faced with a
strong warning
telling them not
to trust fairy
tales, happy
endings, and
stories that go
on as long as
they are
breathing.
Things seem
almost back to
normal, when
film producer
"Diva" asks
Dervish to be a
consultant on
his new movie.
Not wanting to
turn down the
acclaimed horror
film producer,
he decides to
help. The big
scene is set on
Slawter Street.
In for a few
surprises,
Dervish finds
that the demons
he feared have
taken over
again. Will he
be able to
convince others
of what he knows
about Lord Loss?
Will he be able
to remedy the
situation before
people start to
disappear? Or,
by some freakish
chance, is it
all in his head?
Find out in this
powerfully
well-written
novel. The
language and
characterization
will envelop the
reader. |
