Idiot Hero: Downplayed with Amber. Being forced into her situation and put up against the horrors of the Demon Road, she understandably makes a number of terrible decisions.

In 2008, Landy won the Red House Children's Book Award. [8] Playing with Fire, Mortal Coil and Last Stand of Dead Men each won the senior Irish Children's Book Award, in 2009, 2010 and 2013.

He is also far too modest to mention things like the first book being a Publisher’s Weekly Best Book of the Year, but would like to extend an invitation to Oprah to pop around one day for tea, in thanks for selecting his book for the Oprah’s Book Club Kids Reading List. Demon Road is a trilogy of books by Irish author Derek Landy, creator of Skulduggery Pleasant. The series consists of Demon Road, Desolation, and American Monsters. Gregory is a winged, grey-skinned variant of the demon type with a ring of crown-like protrusions on his head instead of two big horns.

Take Me Instead: Virgil and Javier ask the Narrow Man to sacrifice them instead of a child. He agrees but says he'll sacrifice a child anyway because he doesn't want the town's votes to be for nothing and he'll take Virgil and Javier to be killed by Naberius anyway. The answer, as said above, is that I did in fact enjoy it. Most of it, anyway; most of it a very great deal. But my favorite character of this book might be Milo. The guy with the badass car (a 1970 Dodge Charger that eats people) and a million secrets. I liked him immediately. Through the book, we get to know him a little better, but I wanted more. I would love to have a little prequel about him! He surprised me a lot during the ending and I cannot wait to see how he will be in book two. Switch on the radio of a vehicle belonging to one of Demoriel's demons and you'll hear his screaming victims still trapped somewhere.

Amber Lamont, our main character, can sometimes be a little whiny and stupid. But it didn’t bother be that much. I mean, I would be just like her if I found out my parents are demons and that they want to eat me (literally!). Her whole world is shaken up, she’s freaking out 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 had her brave and badass moments. She’s amazing and I loved reading in her point of view.

The Dreaded: Amber's Parents and Co., who prove to be well known and feared throughout the country. Landy wrote a short story based on the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who as part of a short story collection celebrating the show's 50th anniversary. The story was published by Puffin in 2013, titled "The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage". Landy was consequentially hired to write an episode for the second series of the Doctor Who spinoff Class, only for the series to be cancelled before the episode he wrote could be produced. [6] Personal life [ edit ] Portal Door: Mayor Jesper has a key similar to the in Dacre Shanks had that links any door to the cavern where Naberius is trapped. Characters with names that are not allowed (obscene, offensive, GM, GMA, EM, Admin, Mod, Moderator) will be deleted.You Killed My Father: Byrd shoots Milo because he murdered her parents and brother when she was a child. Pumpkeen can spawn in every reverse spot, including some extra spots close to Constantinople and Jangan towns. Power Incontinence: In Desolation, Amber and Milo have to constantly concentrate to stop from shifting into their demon forms.

Amber's parents themselves, along with their friends, made a deal with the Shining Demon that would grant them immortality. The condition was that they would, every sixteen years, sacrifice one of their children, eating them, and give a representative of the Shining Demon the parents' now enhanced blood.Die Fahrt auf der Demon Road ist nichts für schwache Nerven, denn die drei bekommen es mit Serienmördern, Vampiren und anderen grausigen Geschöpfen zu tun und es geht teilweise brachial und brutal zu - entbehrt aber auch nicht der vom Autor gewohnten Situationskomik mit viel schwarzem Humor :D
