Book Review: The Demon’s Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan

[othercat]

Sometimes, even though I should know better, I forget how detailed, engaging and even disturbing a young adult novel can be. (I have no idea why I do this. There are many, many engaging disturbing and intense young adult novels out there.) So, I was surprised when I read the The Demon’s Lexicon because it’s a very intelligently written urban fantasy with some fairly intense moments. (And when I say intense I mean horrifying and various levels of disturbing.) I have to admit that the book also in general reminded me a little of Supernatural, though the show and the book have almost nothing in common except two brothers and also, demons.

Our Heroes are Alan Ryves and his brother Nick.

I was just extremely impressed by how the writer was able to make demons so completely alien.
