Fang and Soulstice

I finally finished Fang and let me tell you, the book kept me up reading. Something happens to Fang and Max is freaking out, Angel is upset because its mostly her fault, Gazzy and Iggy are trying to comfort Max and Angel. A nice showdown comes to play where there is a fight to try to save Fang... After all that Fang mysteriously disappears, leaving Max devastated and the rest of the flock in shock and confusion. I'm not going to give anything more away... Read it to find out what happens!

The new book i started reading is called Soulstice by Simon Holt. its the second book in The Devouring books. Here is the summary:
Six month...

Since Reggie first discovered the existence of the Vours in a tattered journal. Since she learned to overcome her fear and destroyed a Vour to save Henry.

Now as the summer solstice approaches, the Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams - until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality.

So far the book is interesting because Reggie and her younger brother Henry are experiencing the terrible powers of the Vours. Vours are evil, demonic  beings that inhabit human bodies on Sorry Night, the darkest hours of the winter solstice. Its a horror, and possibly thriller type book that will keep the story fast paced and have crisp writing. Im at the part where Henry has a "Vour breakdown", as i like to call it, in the middle of school, hurting and almost killing another student. I'd like to see how the book turns out and how Henry will learn to deal with this new thing happening to him... Also how Reggie and her friend Aaron will handle the whole Vour mess. 

Fang (cont.)

   I am still reading Fang and where I am currently in the book you get a different view of the characters. Max is becoming more careless and a little selfish; Gazzy, Angel, and Iggy become more their own flock and very much dislike Max. Angel is now giving orders and Max is angry. Fang and Dylan are having heated arguments about Max and the rest of the flock. The flock think that Max and Fang just care about themselves not their "love" instead of the rest of everyone. There is a lot of drama going on right now. The flock get attacked by Erasers, werewolf like creatures, and are crucially injured, with Max and Fang in the wind. Max is still dealing with Dylan being her "other perfect half" and what Fang means to her.

The thing I like about the part where I am is that they celebrate everyone in the flocks birthdays. They each gave everyone a present and cut cake and had a special time. They were a vast cheerful family, until Jeb, an old friend, and Dylan payed them a visit. Them coming just ruined the magnificent time they were having. Dylan was coming in between Fang and Max; Jeb was coming in between the flock and Max.

   The thing I didn't like was that they didn't explain very well what the Erasers looked like and how they acted. It vaguely said, "... with their sharp claws...", so you kinda assume its like a werewolf or a hell hound. It would be nice to actually be able to visualize what these Erasers look like so you get the general feel of what terror they bring upon the characters.





   Hell Hound: are aggressive, fire-breathing canines of extrapalaner origin. Specimens are frequently brought to the material to serve evil beings, and many have established indigenous breeding populations. A hell hound resembles a large, powerfully built dong with short, rust-red or reddish-brown fur; its markings, teeth, and tongue are sooty black. It is easily distinguished from normal hounds by its red, glowing eyes. A typical hell hound stands four and a half feet high at the shoulder and weighs 120 pounds.

Fang by James Patterson

   The book I am currently reading is Fang. It is a Maximum Ride book and is the third one of The Protectors.
     Being a kid with wings -- constantly on the run -- has never been easy, and Max and her flock are getting tenser than ever. First, on a trip to Africa, they meet a mysterious billionaire whose intense scrutiny of the Flock makes her fear the worst. And as if an impending apocalypse weren't bad enough, canny birdkid Angel makes a dire prophecy about Max's soul mate: Fang will be the first to die. Max's desperate desire to protect Fang brings the two closer than ever. But can the team weather the storm, or will the turmoil rip them apart for the last time?     Its one of those "apocalypse" type books.  Max and the other characters are fighting internal and external conflict between their flock and saving the world. Its nice to see how the characters go through this process and come over it. According to Angle, Fang is the first to die and Max isn't going to let that happen. She sets out (not literally) to stop this from occurring. Angle thinks that Dylan, a mysterious guy, is Max's perfect other soul mate and a perfect replacement of Fang for Max. Read the book to decide who is Max's perfect soul mate. So far in the book, Max is trying to get the flock to act and be more human, like normal people. It shows how Max is dealing with her conflict and doing that she begins to lash out on everyone and they get mad. Its interesting to see who they will react when she asks them to forgive her and how Fang will be since she lashed out at him as well.


there is no book trailer or article that goes along with this book really... SORRY :(
