Demon Road - Derek Landy

"Full of Landy’s trademark wit, action and razor sharp dialogue, DEMON ROAD kicks off with a shocking opener and never lets up the pace in an epic road-trip across the supernatural landscape of America. Killer cars, vampires, undead serial killers: they’re all here. And the demons? Well, that’s where Amber comes in...Sixteen years old, smart and spirited, she’s just a normal American teenager until the lies are torn away and the demons reveal themselves.

Forced to go on the run, she hurtles from one threat to another, revealing a tapestry of terror woven into the very fabric of her life. Her only chance rests with her fellow travellers, who are not at all what they appear to be…"

This book was awesome. It’s my first book of Derek and it will not be the last. It’s funny, adventurous, slightly creepy, explosive and action-packed.

Amber Lamont, our main character, is freaking out, wouldn't you if you just discovered your parents are demons. Her whole world is shaken up and oh yeah… let’s not forget about those horn she has. The fact that she has her weak moments is totally understandable and I wouldn’t have wanted in any other way. Amber also had her brave and badass moments. She’s relatable, awkward  and I loved reading her point of view. But as a demon herself, Amber kills people. I loved how the lines of good and evil were blurred here, Amber isn’t really the picture perfect heroine.

My favourite character of this book might be Milo. The guy with the awesome car (a 1970's Dodge Charger) and a million secrets. I liked him immediately. Through the book, we get to know him a little better, but I wanted more and I cannot wait to see how he will be in book two and get a better handle on his character.

Then we have Glenn. Oh Glenn… He was always talking. He just couldn’t quit. Sometimes you wanted to pinch his cheek because he’s too cute. Sometimes you wanted smack him.(Mostly the latter). He weirdly fitted with Amber and Milo and made everything so funny. I wonder if he will come back in the second book. 

I must admit I enjoyed the slower bits more than the faster-paced parts. The gore was a little much at times and was unexpected. Good for readers that don't mind a light tinkling of horror, splatter gore and spray of blood. The book grips you from page one and you just cannot stop reading.

Age rating personally would be 14+ for reasons stated above. Other then gore, violence, demons and deals with the devil nothing else to be worried about!:)
