The almighty conclusion to the Demon Road Trilogy from Derek Landy is packed full of horrors, laughs and excitment.
From the blurb;
'Bigger, meaner, stronger, Amber closes in on her murderous parents as they make one last desperate play for power. Her own last hopes of salvation, however, rests beyond vengeance, beyond the abominable killers - living and dead - that she and Milo will have to face.
'For Amber's future lies in her family's past, in the brother and sister she never knew, and the horrors beyond imagining that befell them...'
Landy's first adventure into the world of Young Adult novels has been an exciting play on the American Road trip and a reverse uno card on the perfect American Family one pictures taking it. We have enjoyed the growth of main character Amber throughout the series, as she transforms from scared girl into powerful and strong lead character.
American Monsters brings all of this to a powerful conclusion as Amber makes her final stand against the family that wishes to destroy her, supported and humourously guided at all times by wise cracking companion Milo, Amber faces down the threat that has kept her running throghout the series.
The perfect conclusion to The Demon Road Trilogy, American Monsters stands proud at the end of the road.
We give American Monsters four stars
