Notice About Books The Devouring (The Devouring #1)
I finished this book with an undecided feeling. It was a good read, and kept my interest. I'm not sure that I enjoyed it that much. A very interesting concept about creatures that take over the body of a person who is absolutely terrified on Sorry Night, which is the night of the Winter Solstice. I heard about this book, and read some positive reviews, and decided to go for it. I have no regrets that I did read it, but I have to say that there were things I could have liked better about this



3.5 stars. It was fun to read but I would have like this much more if I'd been at least 10 years younger. I don't have a lot to say about this book to be honest. Some scenes in the book are really trying to gross you out and I wonder if anything will happen with Aaron.It was good enough to make me want to find out what's next.

I read this as a "Read a scary book" challenge. And Im glad I didnt read it at night home alone although Ive heard multiple young-adults say that it isnt scary at all. Yes it is. Im gonna have nightmares.I didnt expect much of it and thanks to that Im pleasantly surprised. There were many cliches and some events were predictable but it had its twists and turns where I was really holymoly surprised. I will keep recommending this book to anyone interested in horror in my library and Ill keep

This review can also be found on my blog!Buddy read with Amy!CW: general scary scenes and abandonment by a parentThis is another reread/finally finishing a series that Im taking part in!

Crazy, right?The Devouring follows a broken family. Reggie is in high school and has to fill the role her mother had before she left the

I wouldnt classify myself as a fan of scary things. Ive been afraid of the dark for as long as I can remember, yes, I am still afraid of the dark. I do not like scary movies, I happened to watch It, the movie based on the novel of the same title by Steven King, when I was in elementary school, I dont think I slept for weeks, and I still havent been able to watch the movie again. So, when I grabbed a copy of the Devouring by Simon Holt and read the synopsis, I have to admit I was a little scared

"If you don't learn how to be scared, you'll never really learn how to be brave."What a fun little creepy story surprise. I wasn't sure what I was getting in to. I didn't read the book write up, I just check the cover and a few friend reviews and I was in. I love reading horror so I was excited to give it a try!Reggie is just your average girl - she loves horror stories & her little brother. She's a fill-in mom after their mom left. She stumbles on a journal style story completely on
