What a fun series!
“This was a very exciting book! I enjoyed Hope's story - with the added chapters in Lucas' P.O.V. very much! It was quite thrilling, and with an ending that is more open-ended than usual. However, I have the next book all set to be read, so I hope that some of those loose strands will be tied up! ”

Another enjoyable installment in the Women of the Otherworld series
“Readers new to Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series may benefit from beginning with the first book and working their way through the series. The stories are often connected and the characters often appear, disappear and reappear in subsequent installments.

In this eighth book, Hope Adams is a half-demon [fathered by Lucifer himself] who has an obsessive fascination with chaos [being a chaos demon you see ]. She is called on by Benicio Cortez, head of the Cortez cabal to do him a favor, and finds herself working with Karl, the solitary werewolf who has recently joined the werewolf pack. The favor is to infiltrate a young gang that has been giving the Cabal trouble. Lucas Cortez is also in here, and the differing viewpoints can be overwhelming and confusing for those new to the series [which is why I recommended reading them in order].
That aside, there are plenty of story arcs and character insights here to give fans of the series lots of enjoyment. The romance between Hope and Karl, the inner conflicts within Hope, Lucas' viewpoints on the cabals, etc - all of these make "Personal Demon" another winner in the series and will leave fans clamoring for more.” -
Copout
“In 2003 I read my first urban fantasy: Kelley Armstrong's BITTEN. Thus reading her consequent novels is somewhat sentimental for me.

When half-demon and tabloid journalist Hope Adams goes undercover in a supernatural gang as a rich socialite, the story is enjoyable enough but hardly something to gobble up. However, the real action begins halfway through the novel with the mention of a panic room.
But as the bodies piled up, I didn't feel completely satisfied; had that 'good but not great' feeling. But about thirty pages from the end was an idea that gobsmacked me with its brilliance and sheer originality. More than a few readers will rush to re-read STOLEN, the second book in the series. It really justifies the author as my favourite.
I wish I could say that I was pleased with the novel's conclusion, but I wasn't. Something else happened that really made me think, "if this is true, then the author will set a new benchmark that other writers could only dream of reaching". But instead, "what a freaking copout". But I may be alone with that feeling.” -
A fun book to read
“This was a fun book to read. I have been sort of disapointed on the last 2 books (no humans involved and this one). Not to the standards of bitten, stolen and broken. ”
