The Devouring

The Devouring

The second book i read is The Devouring by Simon Holt. This book was by far my favorite from the two. It is a series of 3 books. Not too many people know of this book or this series but Simon Holt is by far my favorite author. He writes about stories that have never been heard of, he creates different monsters to put in his book, rather then the usual vampire and werewolf.

This book is about a girl named Reggie. Who read a hand writing "diary" of a young women's life facing her brother that was turned into a Vour... (evil monsters that are attracted to light and heat, that feed on your fears and take over your body.) In this book Reggie finds out many strange things start happening to the town, and she decides to find out how she could possibly try to save and help those in trouble. There is a poem on the back of the book describing the Vours in a way.

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...

Reggie goes into peoples nightmares to save them from staying monsters. She goes on adventures that are creepy. you need to read the book to find out how it all goes down. This book would interest both girls and boys who enjoy a book that is horror but not to scary. this series contains books called "The fearscape" and "Soulstice".

These are all Reggie's stories on how she helped every one. If you want to find out more

I suggest you read the books.
