The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan (2009)

  1. 52
    City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (stephxsu)
    stephxsu: Lots of action, richly described alt. world setting, and Nick and Jace are similarly attractive bad boys
  2. 30
    Guardian of the Dead by Karen Healey (midnightbex)
    midnightbex: As richly told as the Demon's Lexicon, 'Guardian of the Dead' incorporates Maori lore and Greek legends into a well written and engaging fantasy.

    Nightlife by Rob Thurman (Anonymous user, lquilter)
    lquilter: Readers of either the Cal Leandros series by Rob Thurman, and the Demon's Lexicon trilogy by Sarah Rees Brennan, will find much to enjoy in both series -- both of which likely would appeal to fans of "Supernatural". Both series of books feature a pair of brothers, essentially orphaned, with traumatic parental relationships, and one especially sought after by a demonic race; and a lot of angst and sarcastic quippiness. Of the two series, the Brennan series has a much more YA vibe, albeit an older YA vibe; and the Thurman series has a more urban fantasy for adults vibe.… (more)

    Prom Dates from Hell (Maggie Quinn: Girl vs Evil) by Rosemary Clement-Moore (KATandHEN)
    KATandHEN: Supernatural shenanegans with snappy dialogue.

The demon Lexicon: Review I liked this book. I think when I read this it was not the best time because I really did not want to get into a new world and that may have effected my enjoyment of the book. 
I loved the concept of the book but the first book was really a laying the foundation of the series and I am much more interested in the upcoming books in the series whenever I get around to them.  I felt like this book needed to happen to get the story where it needed to go. 
I really loved the character of Alan alot. I think his character was so interesting and loved seeing the progress of his character throughout this series. I did not see the end of the boom coming so it really surprised me what his role was in the nick drama. 
 
I liked the brothers relationship in this book and loved the interaction between the two pairs of siblings and their interactions because the was the cool part of the book.
 
I loved how the world was built and created and it was made so clear and I want to know more in future books.

I'm really unsure as to how I feel about this book. Almost too angsty for me but the angst is necessary to really understand the world created in this book. See, I'm so torn. ( )

It starts very slowly, but does speed up so it is worth sticking with it. Likewise at times the plot seems very transparent, and again it will surprise you. I'm interested to see where the rest of the trilogy leads. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
For Mum and Dad - I've always thought that raising a child must be one of the scariest things in the world. You never know when they're going to live on ketchup, run away to America, or badmouth you on television. Well, in case I ever try that last one, you can display this to the world: I'm happy, I'm healthy, and I love you. I wrote a book!

You didn't do so badly. (And the ketchup was delicious.)
First words
The pipe under the sink was leaking again. It wouldn't have been so bad, except that Nick kept his favorite sword under the sink.
