Rendition Toward Books The Demon's Lexicon (The Demon's Lexicon #1)
Sixteen-year-old Nick and his brother, Alan, are always ready to run. Their father is dead, and their mother is crazy—she screams if Nick gets near her. She’s no help in protecting any of them from the deadly magicians who use demons to work their magic. The magicians want a charm that Nick’s mother stole—and they want it badly enough to kill. Alan is Nick’s partner in demon slaying and the only person he trusts in the world. So things get very scary and very complicated when Nick begins to suspect that everything Alan has told him about their father, their mother, their past, and what they are doing is a complete lie. . . .Be Specific About Books Concering The Demon's Lexicon (The Demon's Lexicon #1)

"Dear Diary, So today I found out my brother is THIS close to becoming a demon's meat puppet so I tracked down these brothers who I hope will help. One keeps a sword under the sink and the other could shoot a bullseye through the O of an alphabetti spaghetti. I think I want to see them naked. ~Mae" (not actual dialogue)Sarah Rees Brennan is an author that really knows her way around her characters. The best parts of this book series are in the dialogue scenes. The banter is what makes this
Well.. It took me forever to finish this book but I liked it a lot! But I never had this much trouble to keep reading something that's interesting.Nick is all kinds of awesome, his brother Alan is a little bit too emo for my taste, but I guess it's normal how protective he feels of Nick.I can't wait to see what happens between Nick and Mae ^^It's too damn hot today to come up with a decent review, so this will have to do.
I did not set out to love this book; the bar was too high. The word Demon itself, to me, is owned by Jonathan Stroud and Cassandra Clare. Even the main character, Nick, was about as grouchy about starring in the story as I was reading it. (I had half a mind to suggest to him that we both go our separate ways except for the inclination that he would probably have said it to me first) And then we found each other, Nick and I, and though we were both cross, there was the matter of good-natured Alan
This book probably isn't going to end up on my all-time favourites shelf, but I did enjoy reading it a lot and am definitely interested in the sequels. It isnt the strongest in terms of world building, but it definitely is full of suspense, surprising twists and engaging characters. Every one of them actually had a certain something that made him or her stand out. And boy, what an ending. Never ever did I expect something like that. It totally took me by surprise. And that happens rarely.
Have you ever been doing something and had a sudden realization that you might just be evil?And not the wimpy, I-want-to-be-sexy-and-kind-of-emo-looking-evil. Like this...I mean REAL evil like this:Or this:[image error]No! No! Oh the humanity!!!!!Well, The Demon's Lexicon made me feel like I possibly had no soul.Which was suprisingly refeshing.Now there's some discussion in the thread below regarding this author's crossover from Fanfiction to publishing. Despite appearances, I don't actually
Initial reaction: Review to come when I can find words to describe how much this book swallowed me into the journey, characters and respective conflict. I really enjoyed this and it rather surprised me.Full review:And I'm yet again impressed reading another book from Sarah Rees Brennan. I figured since I enjoyed "Unspoken" so much and since it will be some time before the sequel releases, I'd check into her "Demon's Lexicon" series.
