I recently finished Lord Loss (book #1 in The Demonata) and really enjoyed it. It is a Young Adult book but was pretty dark at the same time. It had some pretty disturbing scenes in it. There's lots of reviews that mentioned how scary it was but I didn't get that sense as much. I think I might be desensitized though :)

Is anyone else out there reading this series? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

byo (byobob) | 4 comments Hey! I just finished the book too and I've started Demon Thief now. I'm in LOVE with Lord Loss. It was so thrilling, shocking, disturbing...
And I totally agree, people say it's really scary but I didn't think so. It was shocking at the description and intense but not exactly scary.

So yeah, I really wanted to talk about the book with someone! :)

I read Demon Thief last month. I was surprised by the switch in story lines but enjoyed it just the same. It keeps up the ick factor too. I hope that future books go back to the original plot though. I really want to know where it goes.

byo (byobob) | 4 comments Yeah I keep thinking that maybe Fleck will meet up with Grubbs somehow but I do like the storyline thus far so I don't even mind if they never do lol

YES!! I'm glad, that was one of the appealing parts of Lord Loss! I hope he shows up again too :)

Okay I just checked out the 3rd and 4th book and the 3rd book's inside flap immediately starts off with "Grubbs Grady and his half-brother Bill-E..." so I guess it does go back to that plotline! Good thing too because I'm guessing these characters will all connect in some way and that will be cool to see. Plus, I'm hoping Dervish will describe the fight between him and Lord Loss x33

Demon Theif takes place LONG before Lord Loss. You'll see a familiar character or two but not Grubbs. I have a feeling that DT will provide some necessary background information for future books.

I'm starting Slawter right now.

byo (byobob) | 4 comments Ohh, I guess that's something I'll see when I read farther into the book? Or did you find that out some other way, such as maybe by word of author?

I'm sure all the books will tie themselves together eventually :)

What was your favorite part about the book Lord Loss?

My favorite part of Lord Loss was when Grubbs was playing chess. I was smiling at his "I don't care" attitude.

byo (byobob) | 4 comments Nice - yeah I got excited at that part! I never EVER thought he'd be able to play chess well enough. Until he turned it around it seemed like a hopeless last resort to stick him in the game part.
