The Demon Inside

by M.L. Sparrow

Genres: Young Adult, Sci-fi, Dystopian, Post-Apocalyptic

Darcy was a perfectly normal teenage girl, enjoying the summer after completing her A Levels with her boyfriend Alec. Until the night strange creatures begin falling from the sky, infecting people and transforming them into crazed, animalistic cannibals.
Having lost everything in one foul swoop - her parents, her home and all future plans - all Darcy can do is try to protect the people she does have left. Together, she and Alec, along with her younger sister, sarcastic best-friend, Alec's alcoholic father and the family dog, set off on a journey to find somewhere safe in a world where everything is different.
However, when they do finally discover a haven, a place to call home again, can they remain? And who will survive?

This was some Nicholas Sparks type stuff right here. Ugh. I hate this. I loved the book...LOVED, LOVED, LOVEDDDD it, but the ending was so heartbreaking. Whyyyyyyyyyy?? I don't even know what to say. It was such a great, immersive read. It was very fast-paced, and I like that when I'm reading. It went straight into the action, and the action was the good kind.

There isn't much to say other than 'You should read this book. It'll make you fall in love and then break your heart into pieces. You will have strong feelings for every single character (whether it's love or hate), and you won't, for a single second regret spending the four and a half hours it takes to read this book.'

M.L. Sparrow did an amazing job writing The Demon Inside. The ending broke my heart, but I think that it really says something about how she allows you to connect with the characters.
