The dynamics of Hope and Karl's relationship always bother me but I can't exactly put my finger on what I don't like about it. Aside from my personal distaste for the couple, Personal Demon was an exciting ride. Lucas and Paige are always fun and showing Lucas having to deal with his father was rather interesting. The story itself was awesome and if it had involved any character pairing other than Hope and Karl, this would be a five shot review. I absolutely love the Women of the Otherworld series and look forward to future books featuring some of the other (and in my opinion better) characters. ( )

featuring Hope Adamss, chaos demon ( )

Fabulous! My full review is written on my book blog -http://bookweazle.com but needless to say Kelley does it again! ( )

Hope Adams is a rare kind of half demon called an Expisco. She has none of the demonic superpowers, but has a love of chaos and can sense it. This includes hearing peoples chaotic thoughts and being able to sense where violent acts have taken place. She is working on fine tuning her talents, but first she must pay back a debt to Cabal leader Benicio Cortz. Her and her sometime werewolf lover Karl Marsden had their lives saved by Benicio and they long for the debt to be paid so they can continue their lives.

Benicio turns out unexpectedly to talk to Hope whie Karl is in Europe. He has a plan for her to infiltrate a local supernatural gang who are taking more risks than they should. He wants her to go undercover and keep tabs on their plans and actions with a fake identity. She agrees as long as Lucas and Paige from the Council are in on the plan and can monitor her from a distance. After passing an initiation test she is welcomed into the group and soon starts getting sucked in to the chaos surrounding the group, particularly the handsome Jaz. Things become complicated when Karl hears about what is going on and returns to find Hope on the lap of Jaz. A string of important murders also starts and it is up to Hope, Karl, Paige and Lucas to find out who the killers are and capture them before more supernaturals die.

This was fast paced and intense with some sexy bits thrown in for good measure. An excellent addition to one of the best urban fantasy series around at the moment. I love Armstrongs characters, her protagonists change from book to book keeping the stories fresh and exciting. Hope is a fairly new character appaering in No Humans Involved and her back story is introduced in short story Chaotic which is included in the Dates from Hell Anthology. I am really looking forward to reading the next in the series, Living with the Dead. ( )

Another in Armstrong's series 'Women of the Otherworld". The main character is Hope Adams, a young half-demon, who appeared as a secondary character in No Humans Involved. This book was also a page turner for me and I finished it in less than 24 hours. Hope gets off on waves of chaos, a legacy from her demon father, and this urge to seek out chaos leads her into danger. She needs to learn to control this urge before it destroys her. Other characters from earlier books in the series also appear.
