On My Wishlist is a fun weekly event hosted by Book Chick City and runs every Saturday. It's where I list all the books I desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.
My hubby and I picked up The Devouring by chance in Borders a few years back. We spent countless nights sitting in a big soaking tub and curled in bed reading it to each other. It was freaky! He admits to me that it is one of the only books that has scared him. Currently, we're working out way through Soulstice.
Title: The Devouring #3: Fearscape
Author: Simon Holt
Genre: YA, paranormal
Published: October 2010
"The Vours: evil, demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on Sorry Night, the darkest hours of the Winter Solstice.It's been a year since Reggie first discovered the Vours, and the Winter Solstice is approaching once again. It will be another night of unspeakable horror for those unlucky enough to be taken by the Vours, because this time, she won't be able to stop them. The Vours have imprisoned Reggie in a psychiatric hospital, where she is subjected to a daily routine of unfathomably sadistic experiments. Her life is a living Hell, but she won't give up.

ReplyDeleteHavoc! Awesome! I read Malice, but haven't gotten Havoc yet. I nearly forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking I have good taste. I don't know if I really do or not. On goodreads, I have more than 1000 books on my TBR list. I kind of add anything I find that I might be interested in.
Thanks for following me. I'm following you now!
I haven't read any of the Simon Holt series, but it sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHavoc sounds like it has potential. This week's feature wish is a picture book about a construction site. Come see why I added it.
ReplyDeleteThe Devouring series sounds great...I'll have to check it out. Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting the Devouring series. Great OMW! :D
