Book Wyrm Review of Bec by Darren Shan


Bec is the fourth book in the Demonata Series. Bec has perfect memory. She can remember everything from her birth to the first thing she ate as a child was and how she thought it tasted. Bec had a happy life ,everyday she studied to be a priestess with Banba. Every night she went to sleep thinking of all of the new things she'd learned that day, and what she might do tomorrow. But, now the happy days are over because of the demons. One night the rath was attacked by demons. Many people were killed, but the rath managed to survive the night. Though now every night since then the demons come trying to destroy the rath and everything that Bec holds dear. The rath has barely manages to last the night, but soon they will fall. Luckily a glimmer of hope comes in the form of a boy with a simple mind and his master, a Druid named Drust who just may hold the key to stopping the demons forever.

Bec is anin credibly creative story filled with fear, excitement and death. Bec is definitely a book that will entertain. I'm very surprised that I enjoyed it ,because usually when an author decides to split a book series up into characters it ends dismally. The readers enjoy one character more than all of the others and end up having to wait several books before getting to hear from that character again. But, this writer is able to make all of her characters equally enjoyable so you come to love all of them. Bec is one of those kinds of books that I guarantee will be enjoyed by fans who love blood gore and monsters.
