Bec by Darren Shan........*****



The book's name is Bec and the character's name is Bec too. This book was set in Ireland, in the middle of the fifth century A.D, when St. Patrick was converting Ireland to Christianity. Bec is a girl who lives in a tribe, called the McConn, she had a trainer named Banba, who used to teach her magic, Bec is a priestess, she is a girl who uses magic to kill demons, heal people and attack. She is not actually from the McConn tribe, she is from the McGrigor. Her mother had dies and left her at the McConn area. She is very sad sometimes because she gets visions about her mother and her birth. She is a scared girl. She is also happy, when she defeats the deomns or when she is having fun with her friends. And then, this boy comes among her tribe who won't talk. Instead, he keeps saying 'run fast'. Then, Bec and a few members of her tribe, decide to follow where the boy goes. And then, they meet this guy named Drust, he says he's going on a quest, and he needed help, so he sent the little boy (Bran) to bring them for help. He says he needs to stop the portal of the Demonata. The demonata is a different universe which has alot of demons in it. These demons try crossing the portal between Earth and the Demonata Universe. As they go looking for the portal, two of the tribe members, die by getting tricked by demons. Once they reach the portal, three more tribe members die. Drust tells Bec that she needs to be killed to stop the demons from breaking through the portal. Instead, Bran kills Drust because Bran wouldn't let Drust kill Bec. The portal closes, and Bec gets stuck inside the portal. Bec dies. My favorite part of the book is when the tribe first fight the demons and when Bec heals everyone by her magic. This book is one of the best books i have ever read.
