Fifteen-year-old Reggie loves all things scary. When she finds a mysterious journal about wicked creatures that inhabit the bodies of children on Sorry Night, the eve of the winter solstice, she just considers it fun bedtime reading. The journal says that once inside a human, these creatures, the Vours, assume the victim's personality, banishing their soul to a dark netherworld called a "fearscape." Wonderfully frightening, but Reggie assumes they are just the musings of an anonymous lunatic. . . . until one extraordinary night, when she learns that Vours are indeed real, and that she must fight them to save the people she loves. With help from her mentor Eben, a bookstore owner, and her best friend Aaron, Reggie traces the owner of the journal to an abandoned house, where she comes face-to-face with a Vour and learns to devour her fear before it devours her. With suspense, surprises, and its share of gore, The Devouring will please both thriller and horror fans.
