My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my first time reading anything by M.K. Theodoratus and I was pretty impressed. I was in the mood for something with a paranormal twist given that it’s October and this promised some with its synopsis on Goodreads. I wasn’t as spooked as I would had hoped, but it was a really well plotted novel, with plenty of mystery and intrigue to keep one on their toes and ready for more. The details are really what make the novel though, kind of one of those where you can close your eyes and envision yourself in the room with the MC. The writing is flawless and detailed, I loved it.

Pillar Becon is a ‘null’, basically an outcast amongst others because she doesn’t’ have the magic that others around her do. This is just one layer to the story. Throw in several more like, trying to uncover her mother’s buried past, and a horrible demon named Grylerrque, and you have some pretty great reading material.

I wasn’t really aware till further along in the novel that this is actually a part two in a series, The Chronicles of Andor. It didn’t affect my ability to read this one. I do think I will go back and read the first, though. I most definitely will go on to read the third, “Rendezvous with Demons” Overall, a great four-star read that I couldn’t put down. I look forward to seeing what else is available from M.K. Theodoratus.

Running from Demons is the second book in the Chronicles of Andor series by M.K Theodoratus. It is a great urban fantasy- with an action-packed coming of age adventure woven through it. There is magic, danger, demons, discovery, mayhem, drama, mystery, and much more…. This is my first read from Ms. Theodoratus, so I wasn’t entirely sure of what to expect going into the book. The blurb sounded great, and the cover is intriguing- so I took the chance to explore her world…… and now I can say that I am so glad that I did. This story is a great adventure, with interesting characters who swept me into their story and held my attention right till the very end.
We meet Pilar who hasn’t had an easy life. She is an outcast, in her society, a Null- meaning she had no magic in a society where everyone had some sort of ability. Being without her mother for so long now, and the older she gets the more questions she has. So many things she wants to know, secrets that her mother must have kept. So, when an opportunity arises to find some answers, Pilar jumps at the chance and sets off on her quest for answers. But, danger soon catches up with Pilar, and she discovers much more about her world, and herself, than she’d ever bargained for. Will she survive her encounter with demons? Will she find the answers she’s looking for?
There are a lot of characters in this story, and a lot going on- but wasn’t difficult to follow along. I will definitely be reading the third book, “Rendezvous With Demons”- I can’t wait!

Thank you, Ms. Theodoratus!
