Lord Loss by Darren Shan

Darren Shan is known by the name of Master of Horror, and in this book you can tell why! This is the first book of the series called The Demonata Darren Shan has wrote and it's even more exciting than the one before.


Grubbs Grady was living a normal teenage life up until he was told he was staying at a relitives for the night; while his family went to see a show. Being the inquizative boy he his, he knows that there up to somthing. On a mission to find out whats really happening he discovers his family have been killed by demons. This is the start of a battle. Grubbs wants his questions answered. He then meets his distant Uncle who answers most of them. On his own, Grubbs finds out a dark secret about The Grady family, but will it affect him? A head on battle will commence.


Lord Loss is a exciting book which at times had by heart racing. Darren Shans description really created detailed images and made me want to read on. Sometimes i felt that i knew Grubbs! It is quite graphic so i wouldn't suggest for young readers!


I would recomend this book to anyone who enjoys horror or supernatural stories. This book has forced me to read the next one and it has scared me already!


I would give this book a ***** rating :)

Darren Shan has a film out about one of his books called Cirque Du Freak. I think that the book was much better so i would reccomend that even if you thought the film was bad. This is suitable for younger readers too.
