The Demonata series by Darren Shan - Reading 'Demon Thief (The Demonata #2)' from August 1st 2017

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Grubbs Grady has stiff red hair and is a little big for his age, which means he can get into R-rated movies. He hates history and loves bacon, rats, and playing tricks on his squeamish older sister. When he opts out of a family weekend trip, he never guesses that he is about to take a terrifying journey into darkness. Hungry demons and howling werewolves haunt his waking nightmares... and threaten his life.

[Stormy]

Ok
Chapter one
(view spoiler)[ I think the Joker played on his sister was a bit over the top I can understand where he was coming from but he shouldn't have done that it's his sister it's his sister at the end of the day so I'm just coming into the second chapter and I think I already know what's going to happen I think his parents and his sister are werewolves can't wait to read the next chapter (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Where are you up to?

[Maddie]

Response to your Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[How did you know about werewolves? Where'd you get that from? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

13% (view spoiler)[Wow this is so crazy! Wonder what this is all about. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

23% (view spoiler)[Ooohhh Dervish knows! Wondering when someone was going to come along. It's been ages since I've read this series. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

34% (view spoiler)[I'm loving the descriptions of this house! And the magic? Wonder what that's about. Also all of the 'killing' of the teens in the family. Mysterious.

Wonder what part Bill-E'll play. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

47% (view spoiler)[Really? Dervish's Bill-E's dad? Think that's too far-fetched. And this whole werewolf thing? Interesting. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

55% (view spoiler)[Oh wow the Lord Loss picture moved! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

68% (view spoiler)[Wow Bill-E is the werewolf? I kind of figured it out as he got gradually sicker the higher the moon got, but I never suspected that Dervish was his uncle too! I feel for Cal, finding out his dad cheated!

Jeez Gret was the werewolf. That's a shock. Wonder what chess has to do with it all though! And how do they know Grubbs doesn't have lycanthropy?
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

77% (view spoiler)[Ah there's the chess thing! Interesting! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

92% (view spoiler)[Good on Grubbs for figuring out about the grief and the fear! Just yolo it and he'll upset Lord Loss XD (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Review: Forgot so much about this book from the first few times I read it. It was a favourite of mine when I was younger. I love the gore and the way it's so graphic. The mysteries surrounding (view spoiler)[the chess aspects, the lycanthropy, who Bill-E really is, the demons who killed Grubbs' family. (hide spoiler)] Awesome book, and always will be :D Maybe this time I'll even finish the series :p

[Stormy]

Hey I was away for the weekend I am just starting the second chapter now what does soon as I've read this I'm up for the next one

[Maddie]

How long will it take you to get to the second book? Because I'm not reading it straight away, so wondering how many days I've got.

[Stormy]

Maybe Thursday or Friday as on week day I can only read of 1hour

(view spoiler)[
I read the back of the book and it sounded like werewolves (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

, chapter 2 completed
(view spoiler)[ I think I would be truly terrified if I came back to my house and found my parents hanging from the ceiling dead the demon it's self seems terrifying I was just hoping I didn't catch him and he didn't for now (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Oh alright sweet I have a lot of time XD I'll read my current read and then get to Demon Thief.

[Stormy]

Ok am near to chapter 3 now

[Maddie]

okay

[Stormy]

Chapter 3 done
(view spoiler)[ I know there must have been someone in their family who knew about the Demons it was just not logical that he was the only one and their family the only people who knew about them I'm really enjoying this book I'm happy that he's getting a bit better and hopefully he will learn more about the Demons (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

(view spoiler)[I reckon it's pretty freaky how he actually lost his mind afterwards and went into an asylum. (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

Maddison wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

[Stormy]

(view spoiler)[ don't know how I feel about this Billy Kid but I am still really enjoying the book (hide spoiler)]

It is really up to you I can either start it now or start it in a few more days LOL I don't mind

[Maddie]

Haha I don't mind either. When I read it, it won't take me long, so whatever works for you :)

I will try to start it today

[Maddie]

I don't mind when you start XD I won't be reading it this month anyway. Really, there is no pressure at all. I have so many other books to read.

[Stormy]

The only thing is I love books when they continue in this series that isn't going to happened with the same people

[Maddie]

Yeah, and they all join up at later points. I haven't finished this series, but that happens with some of them.

[Maddie]
