Irish the Demon Slayer is exciting...fast-paced... a breathtaking thrill ride
through ancient Ireland. Irish and his two friends travel across time and space to
save his kidnapped sister in a mystical world where monstrous evil demons and their
fiendish leader threaten the earth itself. Pushed to their physical and psychological
limits, the boys struggle valiantly against demonic, life-threatening obstacles.
The story holds you spellbound as the pages whiz by... Markee is a master at
creating heart-stopping action scenes with characters you really care about.
A must-read!

Irish the Demon Slayer delivers a gripping tale kids will love. A trio of boys are
enjoying summer vacation at their families' cabins when eerie, spine-tingling events
suddenly turn their country stay into a high adventure they never could have imagined.
Markee's humorous, pitch-perfect voice is wonderful, the accessible Irish mythology
full of allies, enemies and surprises. Irish the Demon Slayer is imaginative and fully
realized. A terrific first novel!

Irish the Demon Slayer makes Celtic mythology come alive for a new generation as
three contemporary Californian boys join forces with ancient Celtic heroes to try
to rescue Irish Kehoe’s little sister from the demons of the Underworld. Kids will
revel in the non-stop action and gross detail of this rollicking story, while older
readers will appreciate the authenticity of both the legends and the values that
shape the adventures of Irish and his friends. Irish the Demon Slayer is a
grand and engrossing tale, and I recommend it very highly.

and pushes you closer to the edge of your seat with every chapter."
Review by Isaac Beckman, student, Petaluma, California, age 15.
Irish the Demon Slayer is brilliant. A rare change in fantasy that made me lose
myself in the story. Definitely worth reading.
