Demon Road by Derek Landy Book Review

Throughout September, I didn’t read many books because I was busy starting my second year of university and catching up with friends.

However, at every free moment I got, I was avidly reading the new Derek Landy book, Demon Road*. I didn’t want to put it down!

Demon Road by Derek Landy Book

You may know of Derek Landy from the well-known Skullduggery Pleasant series, but I haven’t read any of his books before, so I didn’t really know what to expect. 

Demon Road is all about demons (of course), focusing on an American teenager called Amber, who discovers that she is a demon… and so are her parents.

If that’s not enough to deal with, Amber realises that her parents and their friends intend to murder her!

I love reading YA fiction with dark and supernatural elements, and this is one of the best I’ve read. There’s even a mysterious driver with a killer car!

It’s not all dark and sinister, there are lots of funny moments involving a rather annoying but loveable Irish boy called Glen. 

Despite being a lengthy book, the pace is fast, with short chapters and lots of plot twists. This kept me intrigued – I never knew what to expect next!

Demon Road ended on a massive cliffhanger, which is frustrating because I want to know what happens to Amber! I can’t wait for the sequel, and I will definitely be reading more of Derek Landy’s books.

I really recommend this if you’re into supernatural thrillers / YA fiction!

(I also love the cover design, it’s awesome).

All the best,

- Emily

  1. I’m not that big a fan of young adult fiction but this book sounds really interesting! I don’t read enough books with supernatural elements, so I feel like I should give this a go! x

  2. I need this! I’ve really got into YA fantasy books lately, and I love the supernatural, so thanks for sharing! I’ve done a couple of ya fantasy book reviews over the weeks if you ever need ideas of what ones to read next! great review Hun x
