From the Publisher

Nick and his brother, Alan, have spent their lives on the run from magic. Their father was murdered, and their mother was driven mad by magicians and the demons who give them power. The magicians are hunting the Ryves family for a charm that Nick''s mother stole -- a charm that keeps her alive -- and they want it badly enough to kill again.

Danger draws even closer when a brother and sister come to the Ryves family for help. The boy wears a demon''s mark, a sign of death that almost nothing can erase...and when Alan also gets marked by a demon, Nick is des-perate to save him. The only way to do that is to kill one of the magicians they have been hiding from for so long.

Ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Nick starts to suspect that his brother is telling him lie after lie about their past. As the magicians'' Circle closes in on their family, Nick uncovers the secret that could destroy them all.

This is the Demon''s Lexicon. Turn the page.

    Best Book I've Read So Far in '09 5

    2 months ago

    The book opens to two brothers being attacked by demons. The average person would be frightened or maybe, shocked, but for Nick and Alan, this is a regular occurrence. Their mother stole a charm from a magician that keeps her alive. It also keeps the three of them on the run as magicians constantly send demons after them. But, this time is different. This time, they can't run away as usual. Two siblings have turned up on their door, begging for help in erasing a demon's mark (the bearer of… read more

    The demon's lexicon is a fantasy book created by Sarah Rees Brennan. It puts you into a world where two brothers, Nick and Alan Ryves, try to escape magic. A term used loosely in this story. Nick and Alan are always on the move with their crazy mother who is not much of a parent. Since their father was murdered at a young age they must fend for themselves. But danger is always their shadow, evil magicians are hunting the Ryves family for a charm that keeps the mother alive. But things start… read more

    Not worth your time. 2

    This was really hard for me to get into. The writing style was different from what I usually read, but that wasn’t the problem. I felt like it was just going around in circles and I didn't have the patience for it. I hated Nick, the main character. Everything he did pissed me off. The only character I liked in the whole book was Jamie. He I could visualize and see, but everyone else was unbelievable to me. The beginning was dry and it was so hard for me to get into. The only reason I finished… read more

    Somebody ripped of Paranormal the TV show! 2

    5 months ago

    Ok it's not a total rip off of paranormal but it's similar. Two brothers on the run fighting evil to stay alive. One brother(Alan, not sam) is well read and longs for a normal life where they don't have to fight demons or magicians and constantly move from shabby house to shabby house. The other brother is sullen, handsome, and has anger issues. His name's not Dean it's Nick. Along with his temper he is incredibly co-dependent on his brother. To the point where he sabotages his… read more
