I really didn't care for the way Grubbs treated Bill-E, especially since he refused to ever take any responsibility for what he could have done to help him out. Teenagers do have power over one another, and he could have done a lot more than stand around and watch Loch's actions. Also, since so much time was taken to show Loch as this horribly unlikable person, I really didn't care when he died. I felt bad for Bill-E, and had a few times when I wondered if Bill-E had actually pushed Loch, butOMG, the best cliff-hunger ever!!! And everything was quite predictable and that kept the chills long and fresh! After Bec, I thought there would be nothing more gore and gross infected...guess I was wrong, and as on cue, Lord Loss has to be the "star"!!!One thing about this series I'm anxious about is that, if there is a movie...its gonna be hard to watch!!
I really think Grubbs and Dervish were stupid to trust Juni so readily. She appears a few weeks later knowing more magic than the both of them and they simply accept it?I also really hope that the reader is supposed to know that the bum is not a Lamb but is Beranabus. Oh well, I'm looking forward to finding out why Grubbs is different from the rest of his family when it comes to being a werewolf.

Everytime he wakes up from his nightmare, he is always experiencing some magical moment. Grubbs had made alot of friends and decided to throw a party one day after his uncle, Dervish, left. That same night, he had woken up in the bathroom, only to realize that he was howling like a werewolf. Darren Shan has done a great job with his
This is the first book in the Demonata series that I didn't particularly like. Darren Shan books are usually characterized by their fast moving plots, their inventive gore and lots of magical fighting. Blood Beast doesn't have any action until the very end. Most part the story is about Grubbs going through the motions of teenage life, while worrying about not so teenage problems on top of that. He might have the family curse; he might turn into a werewolf.I didn't like Grubbs's teenage problems.
2019 RereadRating: 4.5I started reading this series in like 2006 but forgot to continue it after finishing all the released books (up to book 6) because I suck at waiting for things. Time to finally finish all of them!The writing is definitely a little juvenile feeling which makes sense since the target audience is like half my age, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the book at all. The story pacing was extremely fast as is typical of books aimed towards younger readers, but the majority of the
