Description

Pillar Beccon travels across Andor to discover her mother's mysterious past. But danger is never far away as a demon seeks to destroy her. 

An orphaned null without a hint of magic, Pillar can't remember ever belonging anywhere, especially not in the Freemage commune where she grew up. After she graduates from high school, she jumps at the chance to learn why her mother ran away from her family. 

During an accidental encounter, Grylerrque, a surviving commander from The Demon Wars, recognizes what Pillar is and decides to feed the girl's life force to her clutch. The demon sends her minions to capture the girl. Pillar escapes with a help of an unexpected allay, only to learn she was pulled out of the frying pan and thrown into the fire.

Running from Demons tells the story of Pillar's search to find a place to call her own. The book continues the chronicles of Andor, a land where the mundane world clashes with one of magic and demons from another plane prey. If you love paranormal stories of discovery and mayhem, this is the story for you."

Pillar Beccon travels across Andor to discover her mother's mysterious past. But danger is never far away as a demon seeks to destroy her.

Book review of Running From Demons by M.K. Theodoratus ...

The world building is magnificent and the characters are well defined. There is plenty of action, a little romance and a coming of age if you will.

It was good, give it a go!

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the free e-book to review.

I liked this, found it interesting and I liked the writers style, quite different abc I like something a bit new and a different take on things. Pillar is lost in her world and I like how the story unfolds, it isn't rushed but it isn't too slow either, we get her story bit by bit . I like the fact although this was the second in the series although I hadn't read the first I could enjoy this as a standalone. I found it a little slow to start but I won't give up on a book and it picked up, I'm glad I did. Pillar is a good likeable and emotive main character and the world building is really good. If I'm going to criticise it at all it's that some of the lesser characters weren't as padded out or likeable. I enjoyed this and would read more of the authors books .

Great read! Pillar is a null a person, a person without magic. But she is stubborn and makes her own way! Pillar is treated as an outcast due to no magically ability, and she has no one. She's lost looking f her way after she graduates she jumps at the chance to learn more about her mother....This was a quick read sometimes a slow but definitely worth reading!

I would like to thank the author and the Netgalley website for this partnership.

I was immediately attracted by the cover of this book: you can see the face of the beautiful Pillar in the sky fading out with the city.

We find Pillar there who absolutely wants to know his mother's past by travelling around Andor with a demon after him.

Orphaned, she doesn't remember anything, once she graduates from high school she jumps at the opportunity to find clues about her mother's past. Except the demon will capture her, she'll manage to escape.

I was immediately hooked on the story so addictive, moving, captivating, full of suspense and twists and turns and especially on the character of Pillar whom I loved and found endearing. Too bad I read that book and didn't know it was a second book in this series, I'll read book one soon and that book will be a proofreading.
