Product Description

Product Description

Fresh hell from the Demonata - you can't cheat death..."I'm a human sponge -- I soak up memories. I feel like a thief, stealing secrets with an innocent touch. I don't like this gift. It's intrusive and sneaky. I think it's harmless, but I can't be sure. If knowledge is power, why do I feel so alone!?" The apocalypse came and the world burned. But it wasn't the end, and out of the destruction, new life has emerged. Bec is back to face the Demonata. After centuries of imprisonment, she's more powerful than ever, but the demons no longer stand alone. Something else has crawled out of the darkness with her. Lord Loss is no longer humanity's greatest threat!

4.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 16 April 2009
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Death's Shadow (Demonata) (Hardcover)
As always, thrills and chills are felt in this next installment in the horrifying and gripping THE DEMONATA series.

Bec has returned, and what aches her the most, besides adapting to the newest technology of the always-changing world, is having to deal with Dervish and the miles of questions surrounding his deceased nephew, Bill-E.

Although this does frustrate Bec extremely, no time is to waste as werewolves and demons attack the house and the hospital that Dervish ends up in. They are once again reunited with Juni Swan, who escapes to a powerful ship that has the magic in aiding Dervish and Sharmila.

Arriving at the ship, the group becomes trapped, surrounded by demons and their leaders, Juni and Lord Loss, who has now embodied Cadaver. Here the battle begins, and surviving just does not seem possible at all, especially since a demon stronger than Lord Loss is now upon them.

Deeper and darker than ever, Darren Shan continues his series with the infamous gory details and action sequences. The battle continues in DEATH'S SHADOW between Dervish's clan and those serving Lord Loss, and fans will not want to miss any minute of it. Also in this installment, Beranabus' character becomes even more developed, as we get a closer look at his life before joining forces with Dervish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Darren Shan at his best, 21 Nov 2008
By Red (Liverpool) - See all my reviews
  
This is the 12th book in the series and probably the best so far. Some of the Demonata books were shallow and dull, this was a cracker, Darren SHan was born in London in 1972 and moved to Ireland when he was 6 years old, where he has lived ever since. He started out writing books for adults, and managed to get a couple published. One day, on a whim,he decided to try a book for children. The result was Cirque Du Freak. The rest is history to his real fans

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't cheat death!, 30 Dec 2008
All I can say first of all is wow. Absolutely wow. Ol' Darren Shan is back on top form!

Warning! The following contains spoilers!

This book begins a huge apoclypse: Berenabus is half-demon! And not in the werewolf way, but his mum was human but his dad was a WAAAAGGGHHH! demon! Don't ask how they did it, but somehow she gave birth to the magician, who when he was young was looked after by the Minotaur. 'Cause she gave birth in the Labyrinth, the Minotaur killed, ate her and picked a fight with the baby Berenabus. The Minotaur was intrigued by this and looked after the strange baby. When he was murdered by Thesus Berenabus cried and then left for the Demonata universe and grew up there.

So Bec is now living with Dervish, but Derv hates her because (as you know) she stole poor Bill-E's body. Bec has got this creepy ability to asorb peoples memories. Well Dervish exploits this listens to Bill-E's memories. Eventullay they end up, along with Berenabus and Sharmila and this bloke called Kirilli) on a zombie-infested cruise ship. Along with the zombies they encounter Lord Loss, Cadaver and the Shadow.

Overall I gives this book 10/10 and Five stars.

Yee Haw!
