The fate of the world now rests in the hands of Grubbs Grady, Kernal Fleck and Barnabs . After Grubbs is saved by the three thousand year old magician, Grubbs ,Barnabas and Kernal Fleck go into the universe of the Demonata for some practise on killing demons with Grubbs. But, when they return they discover that a tunnel into the Demon universe has been open in Grubbs Gradys home town, Carery Vale. Hundreds of demons have poured through.

Wow. Demon Apocalypse is incredible this is by far the best book by Darren Shan yet. The suspense through out the entire book makes it a nail biter. The book is well written and exciting, I know those who read this book will love it. Absolutely, love it.

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.

Book Wyrm Review of Slawter by Darren Shan




It has been only a few months since Grubb's Uncle Dervish has returned from his battle with Lord Loss, and he's been having mental problems. Dervish sleep walks through the halls of the mansion screaming and fighting imaginary demons, he attacks Grubbs believing him to be Lord Loss. So when a famous movie producer comes to there home offering Dervish a job on the set of her new movie Slawter they snatch the offer believing a change in pace may be just what Dervish need. But when actors start going missing and the demon become real, Grubbs will be forced to fight the demonic master of sorrow Lord Loss face to face.


Slawter is the third book in the Demonata, and after I read the book I was slightly disappointed. It was predictable. It had all of the excitement and adventure of the other books but you could predict every meager battle. Grubbs is scared but somehow finds the courage deep down to save everyone. It was always win win win! There was no real pain in the story no loss for the character that there was in the first and second books in the Demonata series. Loss and sadness is what makes a book shocking! Reader connects more strongly with the character when he goes through even the slightest loss.

Book Wyrm Review of Demon Thief by Darren Shan


Kernal Fleck could see lights. He could since he was a baby and simply assumed that everyone could too, until he started talking about them with his parents and friends. Immediately, as soon a they knew he could see lights that no one else could, he was labeled crazy by his friends. Kernal, now, has no friends. He has no where to go, and he spends his nights at home playing with the lights. Until one night, sad and lonely, his mind goes on autopilot and without any control over himself he begins to shove the lights together . It forms into a wall of light that becomes a window into another dimension. The winndow leads straight to the demented, killer Lord Loss and his home. Without any will of his own he steps through the widow and into a terrifying adventure.


Darren Shan has done it again! Demon Thief is an incredible book with mystery, and excitement. The book is very well written, usually a book will lose readers when it switches from one character that all the fans love to another, but the book is so well interwoven with the previous book that readers will come to enjoy the character Kernal Feck just as much as Grubbs Grady. This is a great book for those who love horror and demons.

Book Wyrm Review of Lord Loss by Darren Shan


Grubbs Grady has a normal life. Every week he goes to school, on the weekends he hangs out with his friends and occasionally he play pranks on his older sister Gret. But in one horrific night his simple life of normality is ripped from his hands after the demented, demon master Lord Loss slaughterers his parents.
Lord Loss is a exciting, gruesome, and fun book. It keeps the reader turning pages all night long, with twist, turns, blood and gore. I guarantee that horror fans will love Lord Loss.
