I can't quite remember where I read the cover blurb for this book, but it intrigued me, so I put it on my to-buy list (like I really needed more!). I'm glad I did. This book has an eerie realistic feeling to it, a battle between...well not so much good and evil as not-all-that-bad and evil. Various and sundry demons, witches, psychics, one MEGA-hot demon, one really BAD hell dude, and ordinary folk.

This is the first book in the Megan Chase series by Stacia Kane. I read it last year but as I received Demon Inside to review I thought I would refresh my memory and re-read Personal Demons.
Megan is a psychological counsellor who hosts her own radio show. Her slogan is "how can I slay your personal demons?". Megan also happens to be slightly psychic and uses her ability to see into people's minds so she can help them with their problems, whether they are listeners who phone More...

I spent the first three-quarters of Stacia Kane's Personal Demons not at all sure if I was going to like the book. It spends a bit too much time on sex for my liking, and I have to admit to not particularly caring for the main male character, which made it hard for me to care much about his chemistry with the heroine. Plus, at least towards the beginning, there are a couple of weird bits in the flow of the plot--bits where things suddenly jump ahead a little and then refer to something else that

Psychologist Dr. Megan Chase has agreed to help listeners of a radio call-in show "to slay their personal demons". She has psychic abilities herself and is able to read the minds of her clients to give them the best possible help with their problems. When her abilities start to increase and she´s suddenly able to see demons sitting on every person´s shoulder whispering in the ears of their unsuspecting victims she starts to freak out. It´s just her luck that she has no demon of her own

Plot: 2.5 Stars
As much as I wanted to love the premise of the story, many of the things I was looking forward to seemed almost absent. I was expecting to learn and interact more with the personal demons (an idea I was really excited for) since they were the namesake of the book, but they really didn't play that big of a part.

Megan Chase is on a roll. She has just made her on-air radio debut as the ‘Demon Slayer’ psychiatrist – answering calls and offering help over the airwaves. Her practice is doing well and while she has no social life to speak of, she’s happy. Her radio show is sure to be a smash-hit, and not just because of Megan’s charming on-air voice – you see, Megan has the added psychiatric benefit of being a telepath. She is able to read other people’s minds, even able to pick up on images and emotions ove

Megan Chase is a psychologist with her own radio show. She is also a psychic - able to "read" her patients´ thoughts, memories and personality in general in order to help them. But now her boss starts using a new marketing campaign, introducing Megan as the one who "slays all your personal demons". And the real personal demons don´t like that at all! The only person able to help her is the mysterious Greyson Dante, a demon with his own interests.

Dr. Megan Chase claims to be able to slay people's personal demons -- in the purely therapeutic sense of the phrase -- and only at the insistence of her radio show's producer, who wants her to use the line to help sell the programme. But the real personal demons of the world have taken Megan at her word, and won't let the challenge go unanswered. Now Megan has enemies she never dreamed existed, allies she's not sure she can trust, and a part of her past that's come back to life in all the wron

Ya rolls the dice, ya takes your chances...or something like that. Trying a new author is always a crap shoot, regardless of the quantity of positive reviews, regardless of summaries, blurbs, and testimonials. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't. Luck be Stacia Kane's Personal Demons tonight! I've read some really good books this year, books I was pleased with, books I even loved, but I have to admit, this is the first book in a while that I got really excited about while reading it.

In the world of personal demons each person has a demon sitting on their right shoulder influencing them to do bad things. Everyone except our main character Megan. The novel starts with Megan, a therapist, doing a radio talk show where she "slays personal demons." She isn't thrilled with her job and meets a tall dark stranger that has a job offer for her. Tall, dark, and stranger usually means love interest, but I wouldn't label this as a love story. To me, it is more of a glimpse int

Written in the third person, at first I felt like I was going to be reading a slightly light-horror book. You know, not too heavy duty. As you on though, there is definitely some horrific moments. It's all tempered with a bit of romance and some humor. The main character, Megan is a psychologist who can see demons. She tries to keep this part of her talent quiet, but things are coming to a head for her. Her boss talks her into a radio show and after the publicity of that, things come after her,

I happened upon Personal Demons searching for Kane's backlist after I fell into happy with her Downside Ghosts series. This is the first of three books featuring Megan Chase, a psychologist whose new radio show promises to help 'slay your demons'. Little does Chase know she's hit too close to home and the strange events start from there.
I liked that Chase was a heroine I could identify with (for the most part). She's spunky and strong, but not infallible, and she has a sense of humor, b More...

Megan Chase is a psychologist & a psychic with a new phone in radio show, her boss Richard has decided she must use the tag line “How can I slay your personal demons?” and she hates it. She’s not the only one, there actually are personal demons and they aren’t impressed with her. Personal demons are the ones that sit on your shoulder and whisper to humans “do bad things” as they live off the energy given by certain emotions and they believe Megan is trying to slay them.

But there are some who would prefer to work with rather than against her, including a particularly hot, chiseled and sexy fire demon named Greyson Dante. He's helping Megan stand up to the personal demons who are after her, and along with his team of crazy, cockney guard demons, they're chasing down all the demons that

Megan Chase is a psychologist and has just accepted a job hosting a radio show designed to help callers with problems. The show is entitled, "Slay Your Demons." Little does she know that demons actuatlly exist and they are not too crazy about someone advertising their demise.

I finished this one last night and decided to be a good girl and write a review. This is the 1st book of the Megan Chase series. I just finished Kane’s Downside Ghosts series a few weeks ago and decided to check out her other series. Like Downside Ghosts it is written in 3rd person from only the main character’s POV. Unlike Downside, it is lighter and funnier and actually has a few laugh our loud moments. I had no trouble getting in to the book since it is pretty fast paced. I would have lik

I picked up this book after reading katikat's review. It sounded fun. And different. It turned out to be both. Awesome. I liked the idea that everyone has a "devil on their shoulder", only in this universe it's a personal demon. When Dr. Megan Chase's new radio show bills her as being able to "slay your personal demons", the demons take offense and begin to wage war on her. She's being recruited by different factions within the demon realm without exactly understanding

I picked this up at the library in one of those "I need something that's light and short to tide me over until I get home" moments (I read and walk, it's a terrible habit and it takes me 20 minutes to walk home). So I was looking for something fun, frivolous and not particularly intellectual. I received exactly what I wanted (except that it then began to rain and thus I could not read it while walking... *sighs*). This book is an entertaining read. It's predictable in some ways (sex

Dr Megan Chase is trying out a new gig as a radio psychiatrist. She took the job so that the other candidate, a veritable soul-sucker of a man, wouldn't get the chance to harm on a wider scale. Megan's catchphrase, "I'll help you slay your personal demons" catches the ear of the demon world. The demons feel the need to either control Megan or take her out of the picture.

I'm certainly not as intrigued by Megan Chase as I am by Chess in the Downside series. Don't like the hero much, so far. The villains are not AS scary, either, but since this is more paranormal romance than paranormal scare the bejesus out of you, I think that's the point. The first half of this book was kind of slow I was very irritated by the halfway confessions which were interrupted by demon attacks. Even though I could see the purpose for them by the second half, it was distracting and

Megan Chase is a hell of a psychologist. So much so that she was drafted to take up a side gig as a radio therapist. While her desire to keep a jerk colleague from landing the job in her stead was part of her motivation for accepting the on-air role, she also liked the idea of helping more people. At her core, Megan wants to save others.

This is a wonderful and entertaining read! This book is part of a series which consists of 3 books. The first book, Personal Demons, is incredibly funny and fun. The other two books, Demon Inside and Demon Possessed (the 3rd and final book in the series), are not as funny because they start to tackle the more serious emotional issues of what it means for the protagonist, Megan Chase, to be thrust into the supernatural word. Can her life really remain the same? All three books center around solv

It was jumpy. I don't know what other word to use. It was like the chapter breaks were commercial breaks. We'd come back and the characters would be in a new location, or something would have just happened and the story would back up and "review" what just happened.
Not bad - but it took some getting used to. The premise was a bit weak? Or maybe we are just dropped into it a bit quick and it takes some time to get traction.

It's more 2.5 than 3 really. Not a bad book but I'm not enthralled with it either. The setting is interesting but the story felt a little rushed. The plot was ok but the characters were not very memorable - some needed more development (Greyson), some just annoyed me too much (Brian). I did like the witch, Megan wasn't bad, and perhaps Temp should have been introduced sooner. Art was 'nicely' creepy and Brian seems like a passive agressive jerk (I'm not sure if I was supposed to dislike him quit

I picked up this book as a Kindle recommendation and was not disappointed. I enjoyed the story of Megan Chase who is a psychologist/counselor/psychic, turned radio show host. Due to her producer's marketing scheme of getting rid of personal demons, the true personal demons (the ones who sit on your shoulder whispering in your ear) decide that she is some sort of demon slayer. She is then thrust into a world she had no idea existed.
