Review from

ORIGINAL SIN is sinfully delicious! A sexy, adventure jam-packed with tons of fun and excitement starring some of my favorite YA characters!
The demons are back in spades and using every sneaky trick in the book to isolate Frannie and Luc, exploiting human emotions and bringing about the worst. They're so good at their jobs!
Frannie returns as her spunky, strong self. Luc - still sooo super sexy. Okay, I did have an issue about him missing some glaring clues about More...

I have problems with almost ALL of the characters in this series but Frannie Cavanaugh is the worst
Where to start?
This girlbitch is just f***ing annoying selfish and lustful
not to mention her idiocy...
She's one of the most stupid heroin I ever read. A type of heroin who cant control her lust and emotion.
All she seems to do in the story is;
NEED TO SLEEP WITH GUYS
I'M DEPRESS
I DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE
I WANT A NORMAL LIFE WITH A DEMON/ANGEL BOYFRIEND
I HAVE SWANG AND HELL AND HEAVEN WANT ME
I WANT More...

Lisa Desrochers is pure genius. I don't think I can muster up the words to express how much I loved and enjoyed reading Original Sin. The Personal Demons series is smokin' hot and a must read for YA lovers! Original Sin makes you feel sad, happy, angry, shocked, and excited all in one book! Lisa's writing is truly amazing and I felt every word and scene as the characters did.
I'm team Luc all the way, but when Gabe left Frannie it was sad, because she loves Gabe too. Although Frannie knows that n More...

Wow, so much better than the first. As you can see from my ratings, I loved it. But here is a couple things that irritated me.
Frannie and Lilith:
Frannie: I hate you Lilith! *pouts*
Lilith: But Frannie, you waaant mee'z!
Frannie: No I--! Oh yes, I do want you! GAH
*Makes out with her*
Frannie: N-no, I hate you!
Lilith: No, you waaant me'z!
Now, repeat that 10 times....
And...
Team Luc. Frannie. please get the over it, Lilith was a fucking succubus (The most powerful one at that), he had no chance. Luc, More...

Original Sin was much better than the first book, I have to say. There’s a lot more going on and I was thoroughly entertained throughout. First off, I have to say that I am forever in love with Luc and would probably marry him if I could, though I was sad that there wasn’t more Gabe in this one. And I have to say, though I love Frannie, I really hope that she chooses one of these men eventually and sticks to that choice because kissing Luc one moment and then kissing Gabe the next still bugs me More...

Engel sind auch nur Männer
Nichts wünscht Frannie sich sehnlicher, als ein normales Leben zu führen. Stattdessen sind ihr die höllischen Mächte auf den Fersen, denn Frannie hat eine ganz besondere Gabe. Eine Gabe, die den uralten Kampf zwischen Licht und Dunkel ein für alle Mal entscheiden könnte. Dass es Frannie gelungen ist, ihre große Liebe, den Dämon Luc, in einen Menschen zu verwandeln, hat sie nur noch interessanter gemacht.
Seitdem Luc seine magischen Kräfte verloren hat, kann er sie nicht More...

Meine Meinung:
Kaufgrund:
Rezensionsexemplar von „rowohlt Polaris“ – aber nach dem ersten Teil hätte ich mir auch irgendwie den Folgeband geholt.
Sprache, Ausdruck:
Geschrieben wird dieses Mal nicht nur abwechselnd zwischen Frannie und Luc – eine neue Figur kommt hinzu: Matt. Das hat mir besonders gut gefallen, auch wenn er während des Verlaufs doch schon sehr seine Rolle verändert hatte…
Mir hat das leicht naive im Schreibstil aus der Sicht von Frannie gefallen. Es war eine Abwechslung zu den beiden More...

I feel that when I rate a book like this so poorly, I have to justify it. The only reason I read it in the first place was because I was bored, and there was a shelf of "free books" in my school's education department. Let's stop and savor that irony for a second: this book is terrible, both because of the characters and because of the cliches running rampant throughout the entire thing. And it was for free. In the education department.

I didn't enjoy the first book from this series - Personal Demons - but for some reason I was still interested to see where the author took the characters so I decided to give this book a shot.
A lot of the cheese factor and "smells" are gone from this book which helped. I could never tell if I was supposed to be taking what the characters said seriously in PD or if it was "wink...wink" Maybe both I guess.
My problem is with Frannie. She loves Luc. Luc loves her. Their relationship really progresse More...

A few months ago I read Lisa Desrochers’ book “Personal Demons” and I wasn’t that impressed. Yes, it was ok, and yes it was entertaining (which I guess is actually the point of a book) but it just didn’t have that spark that makes me A. Run out and tell everyone I know to read it, or B. Add it to my “Paranormal Bucket List.” I read it, I smiled a few times and then I put it down and forgot all about it. No harm. No foul. Then…one day at the end of June I came home from work and found a package f More...

I got this as soon as it came out because I thought the first one was quite original and I enjoyed.
What I have to say is "Wow".
I didn't see this coming. I thought it would be in the style of the first book, but it was so much better.
We have more characters - characters that contribute to the story in various interesting ways - and we have an interaction unlike before.
Luc is no longer a demon, but an ordinary mortal, fact which dampens his mood in a way because he believes that he can't protect More...

I was so worried I was not gonna get this book read in time. Holy Cow. My first day of high school started this week and this weekend I had homework in 5 of my classes. Oh joy.
I was at Barnes & Noble the other day with my friend, Megan. (Yes, the same Megan from last post) ;) We were waiting for my mom to pick us up from the movies so we headed over to the bookstore to wait. ( We saw The Help. AWESOME MOVIE!) Anyways, even if I'm going into Barnes & Noble to wait, I'm most likely gonna b More...

Luc Cain never knew that going after Frannie Cavanaugh could change him this much, and not just because he might be in love. Thanks to Frannie’s unique powers, Luc is so changed that he is no longer even a demon. Frannie and Luc are happy that they can finally be together, but their bliss is short-lived when they realize that Hell won’t just let them be. It seems that they have no choice but to accept Heaven’s protection in the form of the angel Gabriel. Too bad Gabe is still sorting out his own More...

If you are looking for a YA PNR (paranormal romance) that is heavy, and I mean heavy, on the romance than this is it. This book is sultry and so sensuous it’s downright steamy.
I should probably mention now, that I did not read Personal Demons. Why? I have no idea. But let me tell you, that I had no problem picking up Original Sin and plowing through. There was just enough character description and backstory weaved in that I completely felt at ease and comfortable starting with OS.

Original Sin is a story that beautifully escapes the snare second books in a series sometimes fall prey to, increasing the emotional intensity and physical action while also answering some of our lingering questions from book one before forcing us to ask new ones. While Personal Demons had a bit of a lighter feel and some rather spectacular romantic waffling on Frannie's part, this second installment shows us some significant character growth while introducing new elements that never let us forg More...

This is my daughter's review which is posted on my blog.
I can’t wait to tell you how much I loved this book! I give this book 4.5 stars out of 5. The book is exciting, drama filled, and has a nice romantic touch to the whole story. The main character Frannie and Luc make the most adorable couple. Their romance is a play off of the bad boy turned good by the girl. Luc is an ex-demon, so now he lives a human life like Frannie. Frannie has a guardian angel named Matt who used to be her brother. Bet More...

I'm really torn as I sit here thinking about what to say about this book. I loved Personal Demons (see my review here) and I squealed in excitement when I saw Original Sin in my mail pile. Sadly I have mixed feelings about this one. There is definitely a darker edge to it which I don't mind and the sex scenes are more prevalent and steamy (just a warning they could disturb some as a few of them are quite edgy). The best part of this book is it gave me a slight feeling of de ja vu of the whole Ph More...

Frannie Cavanaugh, heroine of the first book in this Personal Demons series--and really, all you need to know about the books can be surmised from that title--has used her love for Luc, formerly a demon, to transform him into a mortal who loves her back. But things aren't quite as heavenly as they might be. After all, Frannie and Gabe still have feelings for each other, feelings so strong that Gabe must remove himself from the scene since it makes him uncomfortable to watch Frannie and Luc. Sinc More...

"Lilith patted the bed seductively. Unable to deny his desire, Sam succumbed..."
Damn it, that's still not the right story.
So, despite my initial dislike ofsome most all of the characters in Personal Demons, I decided to go ahead and read the second book anyway because the plot has me intrigued. And after finishing Original Sin, I'm still intrigued, and I'm still planning to read the third book, but I'm pretty sure I'm never going to like any of these characters. I've sort of given up on that f More...

After reading Personal Demons and thoroughly enjoying it, I could not wait to get my hands on Original Sin. I am thrilled to say that Lisa Desrochers did not disappoint!
Once again, the characters in Original Sin came to life on the page and kept me entranced until the bitter end. Their growth in Original Sin was a much needed addition and Mrs. Desrochers mastered this aspect of their journey.

This is hard to discuss without spoiling Personal Demons. But the general mythology behind this series is that Frannie is wanted by both Heaven and Hell, for reasons unknown. Luc is a demon and Gabe is an angel and they both want to secure (or "tag") her soul for their side. By this book, we know who Frannie chooses and we know why she's so valuable to both God and the devil. In this book, there are a bunch of huge twists that I cannot discuss. (Hurry and read these books!)

The Original sin? Lust baby, this book was all about Lust. So after the first book Frannie turned Luc Human, they are together and Gabe takes off. he's to tempted by his feeling for Frannie, and doesn't want to loose his wings. so he leaves Frannie's brother/angel to guard her. Demons are in full force trying to get Luc, and Frannie. this chick Lili moves next to luc and immediately starts havoc. Matt, Lili's brother falls for her, looses his focus in guarding Frannie. Lili is sneaky when it com More...

This book was far more action packed than the first one but as a member of Team Luc, it was a little hard on my heart! Frannie has changed Luc for the better with her love for him as her determination to keep him has caused him to literally change. But you can't hide from Hell for long and Frannie's new guardian angel is still pretty new to this guardian gig. Gabe realizes that he is too tempted by Frannie and that if he were to fall, he could no longer keep her safe. What will happen and how wi More...

Suite au tome 1, nous retrouvons Frannie, et Luc, ancien démon devenu humain suite à l'Emprise (le pouvoir que Frannie possède) qu'elle a utilisé sur lui sans vraiment en avoir conscience. Dans ce tome-ci, les points de vue sont toujours ceux de Frannie et Luc, mais nous avons également celui de Matt, le frère jumeau disparu de Frannie, devenu son ange gardien. J'ai bien aimé ce nouveau personnage, cela permet d'ajouter une nouvelle dimension au roman, et un nouvel aspect au personnage de Franni More...
