YOUNG ADULT REVIEW: Demon Stalkers: Torment - Douglas Hill


BOOK BLURB:

Having succeeded in defeating the deadly Mr Redman, Nick and April are left alone with the knowledge that their only friends, Paddy and Julia, may be dead as a result. But as time passes April, whose psychic powers are increasing, begins to sense that they are still alive. So begins a journey in search of their friends. A journey for which even stronger magic is required. And a journey which takes them into a terrifying nether world where soulless beings walk a never ending path of mist and sorrow. And if they find their friends...what then? Even with the help of creepy skeletal Bertrand do they have the slightest hope of escaping the path and returning home? Or are they too doomed to be swallowed by the mists and lost to the mortal world forever...?


REVIEW:

If you happen to love horror stories and want something that has magic as well as demons within, in an urban fantasy setting. Then this is the series for you as Douglas’ protagonist struggles against a cartel of high powered individuals set to ruin the world to their own advantage whilst remaining ignorant of his true powers. A born survivor in this gritty story and one that really does pull the heart strings along with proving that friendship has a higher power than double dealing and backstabbing. A tale to inspire, a tale to enthuse and a tale to be enjoyed.
