Hell's Heroes by Darren Shan

The book "Hell's Heroes," the last book of Darren Shan's "Demonata" series is one of the best books in the series. It is about the three people chosen to either save the Earth from demons or destroy Earth as we know it: Grubbs, a werewolf who is crazy with grief and anger, Kernel, a boy blinded by his ally and held on Earth against his wishes, and Bec, a girl from hundreds of years ago who has pledged herself to Lord Loss, and demon master, and Death itself. All three of them are a piece of the Kah-Gash, a very ancient object which has the power to create or destroy worlds. Their goal was to destroy the demon universe, but plans got halted with the betrayal of Bec, the growing power of Death, and massacres of humans all over Earth. Will these three beings manage to save the world as we know it? Or will Earth drop into a world of blood, death, and darkness?

I would recommend this book to people who like creepy and very bloody books, and who can handle reading about slightly uncomfortable things and situations. If you like all of these things, then I strongly suggest you read this series.

The Demonata Series: Book Two

Hi everyone! If you enjoy reading grisly, violent, and very bloody books, then The Demonata Series are the books for you!

Today I am blogging about the second book in the series: Demon Thief. In this book of the series, there is a boy named Kernel Fleck who seems to not fit in with anyone. He has very few friends and has been seeing these strange lights since he was a child. His teachers get worried, and they suggest going to a therapist, which is denied. But, when a powerful demon from their world steals his little brother, Art, Kernel's whole life changes. Will he learn the reason for the lights? And, if he succeeds, along with the many friends and alliances he makes along the way, will he learn secrets about himself, and maybe even rescue his brother? Find out!

I must warn you though, this book takes guts and blood and beyond. If reading about demons ripping flesh and devouring heads, wading in a pool of guts, or finding that the truth about life can REALLY hurt (lol) freaks you out, i suggest you to not read this book. It is also helpful to read the first book: Lords Loss first, so you get the idea behind the series. I hope you guys decide to read this book. Once you pick it up, you never want to put it down!

The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden is about a girl named Mary. She lived in India with her servants and parents. After drinking a little too much of wine she shouldn't have drank at all, she fell asleep. She slept for a very long time and when she finally woke up, most of the servants and her parents were dead from disease. The other servants had all fled. She was found and went to her Uncle's house in Yorkshire. Her maid, Martha, had told her the outside air would make her better as Mary's skin was a yellow color. After a while she did get better. However, she did not know that there was another child in the house. Or that she would find The Sercret Garden.

The Last Olympian

The Last Olympian is about Percy Jackson and his friends trying to save Olympus. 40 kids from Camp Half-Blood go to Manhattan to try to stop Kronos' army.The campers try to stop his army from invading Mount Olympus on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building. But, across the country, the All-powerful Titan, Typhon, is being stopped by the gods of Olympus. This book is over 300 pages, so it will count as 2 books in your 25 Book List. It is a great read and I recommend it. But, I do not recommend reading it before you have read the first 4.
