great horror series - By: Red, 29 Aug 2008 
From the first momentin book one, Lord Loss, when Grubbs Grady encounters the Demonata & their evil minions it is obvious to the reader that Darren Shan books are from a different dimension. You really have to read them with an open mind, & a slightly twisted one too! The heroes are constantly changing, from Grubbsin book one to Kernel Fleckin book two, back to Grubbsin three & then Becin some of the later episodes. Whoever isin charge you can absolutely guarantee a frightening ride through another world, which Shan depicts so very well. As far as teenage horror goes this is about as entertaining as it gets. You cannot compare it to the real horror masters, such as James Herbert, Shaun Hutson, Brian Keene or Conrad Jones, but they are truly entertaining, even though the storylines are flimsy to say the least, they are still excellent reading.

After four thrilling novels featuring Grubbs Grady & his adventures with his crazy but caring uncle, his half-brother, Bill-E, & all the demons & monsters he's had to face (especially the one who took his parents away from him), Grubbs is back.
And this time he discovers that the only monster he has to face is himself.
Grubbs begins to have nightmares, ones with him coveredin blood & being attacked by his late sister. But whenever he wakes up, he shrugs them aside, not thinking twice about them, most likely because he just doesn't want to know what they mean.
Aside from his sudden attraction to the moon & the need to howl, Grubbs has other problems on his mind. Like the differences between his new best friend, Loch, & his old good friend, now turned brother, Bill-E. Once Loch entered the picture, Grubbs just doesn't seem to have time for his first true friend & it's killing him inside, ironically. And the horrifying issues that attending school brings just don't make it any better.
Grubbs needs to get his priorities straight, especially the one dealing with him turning into a vicious monster, before it takes over & makes everything much worse.
With this fifth installment of THE DEMONATA series, fans will not be disappointedin this very thrilling, freaky, & funny novel about everyone's favorite character, Grubbs. With an ending that will drive you crazy, we can all say that Darren Shan has done it again!

Its not as good as the others but its still quality!! - By: Alex Lee, 06 Mar 2008 This book is another from the Demonata series (by none other than Darren Shan) & continues from Bec. With the re-introduction of a previous character into the book, the book becomes a tool of questions as you start to wonder why on earth the new character has arrived.
Apart from that the book progresses a litte slower than usual but still packed with violence & action. The one big down point is that the book ends on a very interesting cliffhanger, but believe me when I say this... this book is just a warm-up for the next :D (I have read the next by the way)
slow - By: reading fool, 22 Feb 2008 
a good book...
but not up to normal shan standard
a cliffhanger
blood beast - By: Spleenio, 11 Feb 2008 I found that the blood beast was a very intresting book for the saga.It was more complicated then any of the other books because you really have to understand the charecters alot more thenin any of the others.If you are a fan of shock endings you have to read this book!I think the rating says it all.The auther clearly enjoys writing this saga because of the quality of his writing.(age 10)
