The Devouring

Last week, I described the book the Hunger Games. Are you excited now? Are you drooling for that book now? You should be. But this week, I am going to write about a different book. While I was reading this, my body felt so cold! I also had goosebumps everywhere while reading this book. If you like horror books than read the devouring!

The Devouring is about a 15 year old girl named Reggie. Her and her best guy friend Aaron start reading a dairy of a lady. The name of the dairy is the Devouring. It is about a strange type of creatures called Vours. They devour your fears and your soul. They come on Sorrow Night when you are most scared. But Reggie thinks this is a joke book. She doesn't think it is reality until her brother starts becoming stranger and stranger. Her brother becomes heartless, violent, and starts blaming other people for his faults. When she finds out that the vours took his soul, she finds out more about where they actually come from. Nobody believes her except Aaron and her boss (book store). She goes through a tough adventure to find where her brothers soul is, where hes is confined. She needs to get him out of there before it is too late.

The characters of the book are actually very convincing. I like them very much. I can really connect to them in a way. I think that Reggie really loves her brother. She goes through everything so much just to get her brother back. I think that Aaron is a very nice boy. He is a true friend and really takes care and looks out for Reggie. Henry, Reggie's little brother, is really a kind brother. He and Reggie are really close. Until the vours take over his soul and cast it of to another universe. Now Reggie is the protagonist so she is the main character. Aaron and Henry are the secondary characters.


I think that this book was amazing. I loved the storyline. It was one of the best books I have ever read. It has all the necessary action and suspense. I loved the genre of the book. Horror books are so interesting. If I were you, I would get off the computer right now, and go get the best book on the planet................... The Devouring!


I rate this book:

I rate this book an Alexandria because I thought it was one of the best books I have ever read.
