If you’re looking for something new that goes bump in the night, look no further than The Devouring by Simon Holt.

And when Reggie’s brother, Henry, begins to act differently, performing unspeakable acts, Reggie realizes the Vours have taken him. So she embarks upon a dangerous mission to save her brother’s soul, even though the price may be her own. …» more
