New Vampire Hunter Series

tehle@esls.lib.wi.us (Terry Ehle) — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 08:10:52 PDT

Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon

If you enjoy books about all things vampire then try this new series by popular adult author Sherrilyn Kenyon.

From the cover:

At fourteen, Nick Gauthier thinks he knows everything about the world around him. Streetwise, tough and savvy, Nick and his quick sarcasm are the stuff of legend...until the night when his best friends try to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior who has more fighting skills than Chuck Norris, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters: immortal vampire slayers who risk everything to save humanity.

This book has it all: vampires, werewolves, flesh-eating zombies, demons...

I love this last part of the description: As if starting high school isn't hard enough, now Nick has to hide his new friends from his mom, his chain saw from his principal and keep the zombies from eating his brains all without getting grounded or suspended.

Sounds promising for the first in a new series.

Good Horror!

tehle@esls.lib.wi.us (Terry Ehle) — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 16:24:45 PDT

The Devouring by Simon Holt
If you are looking for something scary this month give The Devouring by Simon Holt a try. This book felt like I was reading a horror movie. It may give you nightmares, so please don't say I didn't warn you!

From Amazon:

Reggie is a horror fanatic. When she finds a journal in a box of used books at the bookstore where she works, she "borrows" it. It tells of the Vours, black smokelike beings that possess humans who can't conquer their fear on Sorry Night (the eve of the winter solstice). Reggie and her friend Aaron attempt to make the Vours materialize but instead they possess her little brother. In a fight to the death, Reggie joins the battle of humanity against the Vours.
