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 Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

Brisingr is the third book in the inheritance series. Although Eragon and his dragon Saphira barely survived the massive battle in the Burning Plains, there is no rest for the wary Rider and his dragon. Eragon finds that he is entangled in a sticky web of promises which he may not be able to keep. He has promised his brother Roran that he would save his beloved from the clutches of lord Galbatorix, but that would mean almost certain death for him, and if he dies the Varden will surly fall. With the rebel soldiers on edge and foes behind every corner, Eragon will have to make choices that may lead to an unimagined sacrifice.

This new book in the inheritance series was full of twists, turns and enemies behind every corner, but once again the author sometimes allows the story to drag. Although it does not drag as much as Eldest the second book in the series, it is still a problem that will cause some readers to put the book down. So, if you don't mind the occasional change of pace, I recommend this book for those who love adventure, magic, and War.

Book Wyrm Review on Eldest by Christopher Paolini

In this sequel book to Eragon. Eragon and his dragon Saphira have just saved the Varden from destruction by Lord Galbatrix's armies. Eragon must now venture north across the desert to get to the the elven city of Ellesmera for further training in magic and swordsman ship. But with enemies behind every corner, the question is will Eragon survive long enough to be trained?

Eldest is by far my favorite book in the series. Although in this new book the pace can get slow. With beautiful described battle sequences and shocking truths discovered, Eldest is a great book for those who don't mind long description and sometimes a slightly slower pace.
