I actually think this might be better than most of the old Point Horror I read as a teen. Sure Reggie/Regina is a little too perfect, but characterisation is often one of the things missing in books for younger people. She's a cross between Cinderella in the fairy tale and Nancy from A Nightmare on ...
Ok so although I do agree that this book was creepy in places, I don't think it was written all that well. I felt like things were too obvious and that the writing style was a little childish. I found myself wishing that the book would just end because it wasn't really holding my attention. I gave i...
The devouring was a such a good surprise! +:-The Devouring has such an interesting and exciting plot. At some points it felt like I was watching a movie instead of a book and I must say that I quite liked that. I haven't read a lot of ya horror books so far but I'm sure that I will now that I've r...
I will admit there were parts in this book where I was like Wha?!? What that stands out is the eating of the big hairy spider. I do not have a super weak stomach but it kind of grossed me out.Overall the writing was well done and it ended with me having a mild curiosity about what is to come next. I...
There is nothing like a great horror story and this book deliviers! Unlike other supposed "horror" stories the horror aspect isn't a simple side plot it is front an dcenter through this action packed book. It gave me the creeps and when Reggie fet fear I did too. If horror is your thing and you want...
Full review here: http://www.booksofamber.com/2012/11/the-devouring-by-simon-holt.htmlEveryone was talking about this trilogy a year or so ago, and I immediately wanted to pick it up once I heard it was a YA horror. Those don't happen too often! As a fan of Darren Shan, I was excited to read some cr...
So, This was my second time reading this book.I don’t usually re-read things but I was pretty young when I first read this and had no idea it was in a series. Simon Holt has created an entirely new breed of monster in this awesome Paranormal Thriller. The Vours aren’t just your worst nightmare.. The...
Wow. I practically "devoured" this one. Haha, lame, I know.No, I really enjoyed this one.A book about fears that little creatures take advantage of to possess human bodies. Pretty awesome.I liked Reggie's character. She was tough, kick-ass, a horror buff. Pretty awesome as well.Henry was just meh to...
I don't remember much, but I love that poem/song/lament/whatever thingy."When dark creeps in and eats the light,Bury your fears on Sorry Night.For in the winter's blackest hours,Comes the feasting of the Vours,No one can see it, the life they stole,Your body's here but not your soul..."
