This is the first book by Sarah Rees Brennan and is considered Book 1 in “The Demon’s Lexicon” series. Though it wasn't the best book I've ever read I would still pick up the next one in the series. It's basically a fantasy book about good vs. evil, with demons and magicians who live among humans. Nick Ryves and his brother Alan are being hunted by a specific group of magicians, who are after their mother because of something she stole many years ago. Along there journey they meet Mae and Jamie, who have questions about a mark that Jamie received from a demon. In the course of their hunt things come to light for the Ryves brothers. Overall, there is a lot of action, including battles between Nick and the magicians, calling demons through dance, etc. Combine this with the plot twists, and I know why this was one of the Best Books for Young Adults in 2010. Mrs. Brennan did a good job at keeping the story moving along until the very end, which I personally didn't see coming. I would recommend this book to reluctant readers of the male persuasion!
