Slawter picks up the story of Grubbs Grady, the main character from book one. Now that Dervish is back from Lord Loss' world, Grubbs thinks his life is back to normal. Wrong. Davida Haymes, VERY popular horror movie director, has Dervish, Grubbs, and Bill-E on the set of her new film, Slawter, with Dervish giving helpful demon pointers. But when the demons turn out to be real, Grubbs has to call on some major courage to save the cast and crew from none other than Lord Loss himself.
Outstanding book, as usual. Darren Shan has a gift for making a reader go 'Ick.' All of his characters are maniacal, so you never know who the real bad guy is until its sprung on you at the end. Like his Cirque Du Freak novels, the Demonata is an enjoyable piece of stereotypical fantasy everyone can enjoy.

Anyone who is into full blown fantasy and a tough female lead will love this book. Guilty Pleasures is the first in the smashing Anita Blake Series, and lord is it powerful. Though there was one or two weak points, the plot ran smoothly and never gives readers a break. This is strongly recommended!
