Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Lia

The Devouring starts out with 15-year old Reggie, a horror buff, reading a scary story to her little brother, Henry, out of an old diary. She dismisses the diary, which talks about the Vours, creatures that feed on your fear and take over your body, as the ranting of an insane woman. But when Henry starts acting strange, commiting cruel acts, Reggie has overcome her own fears to save her brother. With the help of her best friend Aaron and Eben Reggie delves deeper into the Vours to bring her brother back.

This was such a great book. I couldn't put it down at all. My only complaint is that it ended too soon. I loved reading this creepy tale, the Vours were the perfect horror creatures. I loved Reggie, Aaron and Eben! I was rooting for all of them while frantically turning the pages. This is a book best read on one of those cold, wintry nights.
