The Demonata is a 10 book series that follows multiple characters that are a special form of demon know as demonata. Demonatas are a type of demon that inhabit one of the millions of demon universes and can cross into our world on certain occasions.
Demonatas are hideous looking creatures with the intellect and killer instincts of a carnivore, the strength of 10 adults, and the capability of using magic. They are heartless beasts and only answers to demon masters – who have human intellect and are about 1000 time more powerful.
The series leaps through time, and follows the lives of humans with magical capabilities. It also deals with fictional organizations like the lambs (werewolf hunters) and the disciples (demon killers). But ultimately, the story revolves around a special demon master and an even more special family.
Before you pick up a book of this series you should know that it is written by an author who believes that in life there are no happy endings, no heroes, the good guys don’t always win, and they don’t die glorious deaths. Darren Shan has no problem with allowing a major character die tragic and gruesomely.
