Beneath
Running from the Devil Series #1
by Katie Salidas & J.E. Taylor
Published: December 15, 2019
Genre: Paranormal, Urban Fantasy
Blurb:
An escaped demon and a snarky cat
face off against the seven deadly sins.
Escaping from Hell was just the
beginning of Phoebe’s problems. In Hell, she had a position of
legend. A marquis of torture. But on the human plane, she is just
another New York City destitute.
Before she has a chance to get her
bearings on the unforgiving streets, Fate steps in and offers her a
chance at redemption, but it doesn’t come cheap.
She must bring in the demons that
escaped alongside her while making sure no humans are harmed in the
process. In order to do that, she needs to learn to live in the human
world with the help of another one of Fate’s parolees, a snarky cat
named Smoke.
If it means never seeing the halls
of Hell again, Phoebe will do anything, even battle the seven deadly
sins single-handed.
My Review:
Phoebe has spent many years in Hell climbing up the ladder in rank
torturing other demons. Phoebe made a deal trying to save someone she
loved and ended up in Hell. An opening for escape opened up for
Phoebe she snatched it up quickly and walked through the portal to
the other side.
Phoebe’s escape takes her to the human plane where she once again
runs into Fate and has to make a deal to save her soul. The question
for some is does Phoebe actually have a soul anymore? Fate offers
Phoebe a chance at redemption. In order to claim her redemption
Phoebe must bring in the demons that escaped when she did without
hurting humans in the process.
Yeah well this may be a little problem for Phoebe as no one has
explained all the rules to her. Phoebe is assigned a helper, a cat
named Smoke. Smoke helps Phoebe find a place to live. When she is
injured trying to bring in one of the demons and breaking some of the
rules in the process Smoke enlist the help of a veterinary to take
care of Phoebe’s injures. The veterinary Adam gives Phoebe a job
working at his clinic with all the cute and cuddly little animals.
All of Phoebe’s problems started with her trying to do a good
thing by saving someone she loved. Phoebe’s good deed turned out
not to be such a good thing for her. Her good deed cast her into
Hell, a bad evil place where
she is given the job of torturing demons.
Phoebe’s job brought out her dark side but I don’t think it took
over completely.
Phoebe has a long hard journey ahead of her with facing her demons
and
reaching for the redemption she seeks. Phoebe has a lot to learn and
a lot of battles to face on her road to redemption. It is a long
curvy road filled with lots of action from all the battles and
fighting and so unpredictable with all the twists that fate throws at
her. Phoebe is faced with temptations and trials on this long road
she must travel down to reach her redemption.
Beneath is a great start to great new series. I can’t wait to dive
into the next book to see where Phoebe and Smoke take us next and
what other sins they will face.
I highly recommend Beneath to all fans of the paranormal, fantasy,
demons and a little magic. One click your copy today to begin this
wonderful new journey into a new world!
