The Devouring  - Simon Holt
After hearing so much about this book and it's sequel, I finally picked them both up and read this first in the series right away. Needless to say I was pretty creeped out and had to put it down for a day before picking it back up again. I think the main problem I had was that I started reading this while I was alone, in the dark with the only light coming from my book light.

The story held my attention creep outs and all…. The more I read, the more I wanted to find out about Reggie, her 'lost' brother Henry and Reggie's best friend Aaron. Simon Holt's idea for this story and the "Vours" was a great one and was something I'm glad to have not to have missed out on.

If not for the creep factor I would have been able to read this in one sitting. As with this ending, I look forward to it's sequel to see just what happens next. If you like scary, creepy books with a good story and a touch of something different, then this is without a doubt the series for you.
