There be demons by M.k Theodoratus.
When demons overrun the city, Gillen, the leader of the Gargoyle Guardians, requests reinforcements. His commanders send four untrained teens from the projects. Not only does Britt Kelly discover she must cope with a new high school but demons truly exist.
I really enjoyed this book. I liked the story. Some good characters. Read in just a few hours. Couldn't put it down. 4*.

First please note that this isn't a super-gritty, very dark, true grotesque face of evil book - it is a young adult book so if you are looking for any of those things then you won't enjoy this book. Although the synopsis is unusually short, it does make you wonder just what four untrained kids could possibly do to battle demons! The gargoyles are guardians, helping to battle against the demons. Interesting read, definitely more geared towards young adults, but a light read for adults who love fantasy.

I liked the characters in this book. They have a lot of personality and depth to them. The story was well written and enjoyable. I recommend this book.

I received an advance copy for review of There Be Demons by M.K. Theodoratus from Net Galley via Wooden Pants Publishing. I’ve often stated in the past that my favorite fantasy characters are dragons. I might have to revise that statement to include Gargoyles. Gillen and the Gargoyle Guardians were almost the stars of There Be Demons. Only the four young humans who have been drafted to assist the gargoyles in their fight to contain the demons and their imps outshine Gillen’s team. The young folks are interesting and spunky, mature way beyond their years while retaining the recklessness of the young who fail to recognize how much danger they’re in. As they work hard to learn the art of using Grace as a weapon and containment tool, they stumble more than once. I recommend There Be Demons for lovers of urban fantasy and those who already know and appreciate the stories of M.K. Theodoratus.

This book has great potential. The beginning had me hooked. Then was just chapter after chapter after chapter of boring everyday life, and that make the book drag for me. Then it gets great again at about half way through the book for a few chapters, then back to the mundane. The last few chapters are awesome if you can stick it out. The author is very descriptive, I could get a mental picture of the baddies.
