The Devouring by: Simon Holt

Publication Date:

June 2009

Overview:

When Reggie finds an old journal and reads about the Vours, supernatural creatures who feast on fear and attack on the eve of the winter solstice, she assumes they are just the musings of some lunatic author. But soon, they become a terrifying reality when she begins to suspect that her timid younger brother might be one of their victims.

Risking her life and her sanity, Reggie enters a living nightmare to save the people she loves. Can she devour own her fears before they devour her?

My thoughts:

I actually had all the books in this series to read, but after reading this one...I got rid of all.

Reggie like my family, enjoys scary tales and reads them to her little brother. Quite a mistake when the Vours she's reading about turn out to be real, they suck her brother away little by little then they attack her. 

He's an ass, but Reggie and her best friend Aaron believe they can save him. Then Reggie finds she can get into the darkness, will it be enough to save her brother or just further help the Vours.
