I wasn't very keen on the new characters introduced in this book or the whole idea of the using the lights as a jigsaw puzzle to open doorways into the demon universe.A young boy babysitting his younger brother follows a demon through an open doorway when the child is snatched,and joins forces with a group of demon hunters on a joint mission to find the demon and the child.
There were so many clues through this book as to the identity of the Demon Thief that the big reveal was no real surprise but I guess I'm being a bit picky!The Demonata thing just doesn't grab me at all.

Second book of the reread
Absolutely loving it
Honestly nothing that I will read will ever top this series for me
I loved how this book and Lord Loss were tied together even though Demon Thief happened chronologically in the past
The plot twist of this book has a lot of foreshadowing which was plain to see because I’ve already read the books and knew what was coming although I’m sure I missed them when I read it ten years ago
But even though I’ve read the whole series and I know what happens in the big picture, it’s just as thrilling to read about all the details and plus there is a lot that I don’t remember
Reading these books now again, it feels effortless and I’m really really enjoying them
I used to wonder why I struggled with reading these past few years and it seems clear to me that my choice of books is what was making reading feel like an uphill struggle
Perhaps my reading age is lower than I thought and I can only truly enjoy teen books

Probably more of a 3.5 for me. I didn't like this one as much as the previous installment. I am interested though to see how the books connect - I definitely have a good idea but I'd like to see the journey. Definitely full of action and light horror like the previous book. I think I just liked the characters and story of the first better.

Book #23 Read in 2016
The Demon Thief by Darren Shan
This is the second book in a young adult paranormal/horror series. While graphic, these books will engage reluctant readers, especially middle school and high school boys. In this book, Kernel goes into the demon world after his brother is kidnapped by a demon. Will he be able to rescue his brother and get the pair back to their parents? I will continue this series. I borrowed this book from the public library.

veľmi som váhal koľko hviezd nakoniec dám ... 4,5 ... bolo tam pár miest pri ktorých som chcel preskočiť lebo ma nebavili , nie tie nechutné , ale ako celok je to naozaj výborné , koniec ma prekvapil i keď som to trochu aj tušil ... kto je ale Zlodej z temnoty,tak to ma prekvapilo , a dossť veľmi ... teším sa je jednotku :D a na Ďaáááálšie časti , i keď už v češtine , keďže sa v slovarte rozhodli túto sériu ďalej nevydávať :(
