As a trainee priestess, she fights to fit in to a tribe that needs her skills but fears her powers. And when the demons come, the fight becomes a war. Bec's magic is weak and untrained, until she meets the druid Drust. Under his leadership, Bec and a small band of warriors embark on a long journey through hostile lands to confront the Demonata at their source. But the final conflict demands a sacrifice too horrific to contemplate...

5.0 out of 5 stars great horror series, 29 Aug 2008
By Red (Liverpool) - See all my reviews
  
From the first moment in book one, Lord Loss, when Grubbs Grady encounters the Demonata and 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, and a slightly twisted one too! The heroes are constantly changing, from Grubbs in book one to Kernel Fleck in book two, back to Grubbs in three and then Bec in some of the later episodes. Whoever is in 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 Blister (Soft Target Series)Conrad Jones, but they are truly entertaining, even though the storylines are flimsy to say the least, they are still excellent reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!, 13 Nov 2006
By Mr. A. P. Palmer "Tony" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bec (The Demonata) (Hardcover)
This book is a must buy! Very gripping and a great story. THe book is set in the past where tribes fought for they're lives. Bec goes on an adventure to find a young boy they call "Run fast"'s tribe. they later find out that the only people left of his tribe is the magical druid drust. they embark on a quest to shut down the demonatas source and come along lots of events on the way. Brillaint book! Before you buy this i suggest getting the first three books as these are equall as good:

1: Lord Loss
2: Demon Thief
3: Slawter
4: Bec

5.0 out of 5 stars Darren shan: Demonata: BEC, 4 Dec 2006
By Mr. M. P. Darby "sam" (England, Gravesend, Kent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bec (The Demonata) (Hardcover)
Im sorry, but there is no way that anyone can say this book lacks a compelong story. Ok maybe not completly original, all of the other three share roughly the same story, with the main difference being the characters, but as others say, I found the book utterly unputdownable. I believe Darren Shan to be the best modern day writter and this book made me realise this even more.
I think it is very clever the way he writes in celtic times, using words people of that time would have said, for example: Tuath meaning country. There is a word guide in the back of the book that states the meaning of the strange words.
THIS BOOK IS DEFINATLEY NOT BORING I coulndt put it down.
I also thought that the story had a good ending, although I can see what others mean when they say that it was weak.
It is worth buying, so too are the other three of his series,
Lord loss
Demon theif
Slawter
I would advise buying the other three before reading this, as the fourth book explains mysteries from the other three books.
His acclaimed vampire series is also very good
