Looking for a book with surprising twists and turns? Then read The Demon’s Lexicon (Margaret McElderry, 2009) by Sarah Rees Brennan. In it you’ll meet brothers Nick and Alan, who with their mother are on the run from the magicians who killed the boys’ father. The two end up going on the run with Mae and her brother Jamie who come for help because Jamie’s marked by a demon.
I love it when I read a book that surprises me, where things aren’t what I thought they were, but yet it makes total sense. That’s what did with this story. The next book in this modern fantasy trilogy comes out summer of 2010, and the third book, summer 2011. Sighing since I have to wait…
Sarah Rees Brennan’s definitely another author I’ll be following. Here’s her website and her blog, Sarah Tells Tales.
