attackfish: Yshre girl wearing a kippah, text "Attackfish" (Default)
Because I have a very cosy relationship with the people at the local independent bookstore, I got a call as soon as the shipment with Sarah Rees Brennan's The Demon's Lexicon came in and I got to pick it up a few days early.  Rees Brennan, known online as sarahtales (formerly mistful or maya), had already shown herself to be a master writer through her howlingly funny blog and her fanfiction, so I rushed right over.

Nick and his older brother Alan have been running ever since their father died.  Their mother, a former magician, stole a charm from her former lover, another powerful magician, and he and his followers have been chasing them ever since to steal it back and take their revenge.  When a girl Alan fancies comes to the brothers with her own brother, asking for their help in taking a demon's mark off her brother, the magicians close in, and Alan's lies lead them all into terrible peril.

My life was going to flash before my eyes, but it decided to hide behind my eyes and quake in terror instead. )

Oh God, I'm tearing myself up waiting for the sequel, and as soon as that's out and read, I'll be going crazy for the last!  Today's the release date, buy it so I can squee in company!
