I just want to stop and take a moment to love everything that Kelley Armstrong has written that I have read so far. She is the goddess of writing.

So Hope was introduced in the previous book. She is a half demon (father being Lucifer) who takes pleasure in chaotic thoughts and acts. She knows when you are about to pull the trigger, and she probably won't stop you because it is just such a high for her.

Anyway, she has a fling with Karl, who was actually introduced in the very first book. He is now ...more

Lucas and Paige feature huge amounts in this one too. Hope is a half demon that feeds off chaos and I am pleased that we get a new type of supernatural to learn and divulge in. For me this is the second time I have met Hope, the first being in the previous novel where she dips in and out. Early on I got the sense that I was missing something, that being a back story that was being referenced to frequently. I am guessing there is a novella on Hope? I have not read it but I would recommend to read this first. It did not effect my enjoyment of the story but sometimes it is satisfying to truly capture the character as they are first introduced.

I really liked this one. The story flowed in extraordinary ways. There are lots more characters and a lot of chaos (obviously) but I lapped it up. There was so much action and adventure, double crossings, killings, manipulating, you name it, it was in here. Can I also mention there is not one love interest but two! Two handsome men to fill your minds with. But of course my love for Paige and Lucas did also help my enjoyment of this, I just adore there relationship! The growth of Hope throughout the novel was marvellous, Kelley really captured that teen trying to find their way through life feeling but translated it into a supernatural trying to learn to cope and deal with who they were. Us not being supernaturals it is hard to relate to some fantasy characters but Kelley does a remarkable job of this. I really did connect with Hope and felt her emotions which to me is a good story.

I highly recommend this book, there is a lot that may shock you. I literally could not predict the outcome and usually I am pretty good at seeing what lies ahead. If you are making your way through the series you shouldn’t need much persuading to read this one. I cannot wait to see who and what we get next!

Personal Demon was another decent Kelley Armstrong read.
This book is about Hope Adams, a chaos demon, who we've met in a short story in Dates from Hell. Besides Hope, we also get to read Lucas Cortez' POV.

In the beginning I felt Hope was interesting enough to have her own book, instead of sharing a narrative voice with Lucas. But along the way Lucas really added something extra to the story and reading about his struggle with his family turned out t ...more

Book #8 in the Women of the Otherworld series and definitely one of the weakest.

Hope Adams (originally introduced in the novella Chaotic in Dates From Hell), a tabloid reporter and a half-demon who feeds on chaos, is called upon by Benicio Cortez to infiltrate a gang of supernaturals who have been creating some trouble for Cabal in Miami. Hope fits in very quickly and soon starts enjoying not only the chaos created by the gang's criminal activities but the company of one gang member. The fun sto ...more

I've read Bitten(book 1 in the Woman of the otherworld series) a while back and I've been hooked ever since. Not every book follows the same characters but every few books the main characters reoccur so it should be read in order so you can understand the extra characters and relationships.
The depth of character development throughout this story is absolutely amazing and knowing your favorite characters will reappear again in future books makes it even better. I really like Hopes character and find her werewolf ex-boyfriend James well written and refreshing (not to mention, funny and cute). Each book is amazing and I now find it hard to choose who I like more, Hope or Elena. Both are amazing, strong female characters who kick ass and take names.
Personal Demon was an amazing installment in the Woman of the Otherworld series that is a awesome edition to the supernatural gendre that has plenty of action and romance with amazing twists and surprises!If you haven't read this series yet, get started!

Summary (from the book jacket)
Hope Adams, tabloid journalist and half-demon, inherited her Bollywood-princess looks from her mother. From her demon father, she inherited a hunger for chaos, and a talent for finding it. Like full demons, she gets an almost sexual rush from danger - in fact, she thrives on it. But she is determined to use her gifts for good.

When the head of the powerful Cortez Cabal asks her to infiltrate a gang of bored, rich, troublemaking supernaturals in Miami, Hope can't resist the excitement. But trouble for Hope is intoxicating, and soon she's in way too deep.

With a killer stalking the mystical hot spots of Miami, Hope finds herself dangerously entangled, and has no choice but to turn to her crooked werewolf ex-boyfriend for help. What started as a simple investigation has spiralled into chaos. And Hope finds chaos irresistible...

For a woman who didn’t know what she was getting into, there’s only one way out: it’s time for Hope to unleash her most potent primal instincts and open herself, mind and body, to everything she most fears and desires.

Another gripping book in the wonderful Women of the Underworld Series. In this book I felt like the demon actively mopping up all of the chaos! It was fantastically surprising!

I love reading books like this one that are full of powerful and assertive women!

I also liked the twist where Karl is humanized and I really enjoyed his dynamic with Hope.

Looking forward to continuing to get lost in this world!

This is a hard book to review... at times it was great but the story felt disjointed. I think having Lucas as a POV threw it off, I get he played a large part of the story and maybe that was the problem. It felt like two stories smooshed into one with Hope’s part actually less than I expected it to be.

Hope’s need for chaos is a bit creepy, I don’t envy her that. However she is impulsive and pretty uninhibited but not stupid so her story was fun to read.

Personal Demon introduced the reader to Hope Adams, half demon and chaos reader. Hope has appeared briefly in previous books (although I couldn’t remember exactly where), and she had her own novella Chaotic, which I read in the Dates From Hell anthology. I like Hope, she feeds off chaos and sees flashes of incidents form the past when exposed to the area where they happened. It is a pretty cool ability, even though Hope tries to fight it in fear of being more demon that human, but I get that.

Hope owes a favour to the Cortez Cabal, still run by Lucas’ father, and wanting to pay off the debt she agrees to go undercover in a gang in Miami who are apparently planning something big against the Cabal, and they need to be stopped. So Hope passes the initiation, is admitted into the fold, and tries to find out what the gang is planning so she can finish this job and return to her ‘normal’ life. But of course, things are not that simple, and soon Hope finds herself captivated by one of the other gang members, the death of another member in quite chaotic circumstances, and members of Lucas’ family being in the firing line. Then you add Karl Marsden to the list of things to worry about. Karl has been in a few of the previous additions to the series, and has only recently been admitted into the pack, which is kind of a big deal for him. And of course Karl and Hope had a fling a while back, and it didn’t work out, and now he has to save her from her current predicament because……

I don’t know. He didn’t like that Hope was paying off the debt for both of them, he thought what she was doing was stupid, he didn’t want her to be hurt, and he generally hates the Cabal. Something like that.

Why did I insist on trusting a man everyone warned couldn’t be trusted? Maybe I did enjoy the chaos of my own suffering, and I was just too deluded to see it.

I kind of hated Karl…especially when Hope was talking about the fact that she always had to make breakfast/lunch/dinner for him, and he gave her small hints that basically said ‘get in the kitchen.’ And I know he may look in his 30’s, but that’s doesn’t make the fact that he is actually 50 something to be ignored. It means he has had 50 years on the earth. So it just makes me think why he is chasing a girl in her mid 20’s and just expecting her to follow his every command. Despite Hope trying to stand up for herself, in the end it came down to him rescuing her, and Hope kind of just accepting it. They frustrated me as a couple and given some of the other relationships in this series (Paige and Lucas & Elena and Clayton), this seemed forced and like neither of them are really happy with it in the end.

Personal Demon actually cycled between Hope’s point of view and Lucas’. While Hope’s story dominates the first half, Lucas definitely control the second part, which is miles more interesting. The series is called WOMEN of the Otherworld, so I guess you can’t have a book fully from Lucas’ point of view, but the story as a whole meant so much more for him than it did for Hope. In the end she ended up being a secondary player in all this. Hope became more of a passenger, and when everything wrapped up, she got to wash her hands of everything, but Lucas and Paige cannot say the same. His parts were a lot more captivating, and while Hope was cooling off in a hotel room, drinking coffee and reading the paper, Lucas was trying to manage his father’s business, his family’s dwindling numbers, and what his future might look like.

I must say I picked out a lot of the ‘twists’ (and I use that term lightly), but they were still enjoyable to read. More for the reaction of the characters if anything else. I still love how interconnected the world is, and how everyone knows each other and interacts. Instead of isolated stories, they are all entwined. The first half of the book really seemed to drag, and funny that this centred more on Hope, but when Lucas and Paige come into the picture the pace picked up quite a lot. The second half saved this book, and while not the strongest in the series, there seem to be some real consequences for the characters and the world in general and it shall be interesting to see what happens from here. ...more

“Remember when we met? Before you left, you said you were going to make a fool of yourself over me. That's still what you're worried about. That you'll find yourself doing things you never dreamed of doing, things you laughed at in others, and you'll make a fool of yourself.”

I'm iffy on character head jumping within a series in the first place, but it's been working well so far. Hope was introduced in Broken, but takes the center stage in Personal Demon. Unusually, Armstrong divides a little of “Remember when we met? Before you left, you said you were going to make a fool of yourself over me. That's still what you're worried about. That you'll find yourself doing things you never dreamed of doing, things you laughed at in others, and you'll make a fool of yourself.”

I'm iffy on character head jumping within a series in the first place, but it's been working well so far. Hope was introduced in Broken, but takes the center stage in Personal Demon. Unusually, Armstrong divides a little of the book into another POV (Lucas). It all ties into the same storyline and wouldn't have worked as well otherwise. The book is better off for it, and Luca's chapters primarily take place in the second half.

Hope just isn't as sympathetic and likeable a character. She wants to do well and be better, and I don't dislike her, but she's not someone I want to sit in the head of or warm up to much. Not her fault, but she basically gets off on chaos, whatever that's supposed to mean. What it shows if when her friends are about to be killed, she can't help but get excited in a good/bad way. She craves something bad happening to people, even those close to her. Chaos strums from stealing from people, killing them, attempted violence, fighting, anything extreme. She gets these weird visions I can't fully understand when something is about to happen.

Karl is...I know a lot of fans seem to dig Karl. I don't much. It rubs me the wrong way how he kills lone werewolves when he goes to a new town. They were there first? It doesn't matter to Karl. He acts like a douche like that. I enjoy Armstrong's pack building in the series but I never got the eltist attitude of the pack, which he's new to, even in the derogatory way non-pack members are called 'mutts.' Some are violent, some not, and even though his father was a mutt who was killed, Karl doesn't seem to care when he randomly kills other mutts he runs into.

Romantic wise I like the protective vibe and the age difference doesn't bother me, but there relationship just doesn't hold the same oomph and chemistry. I don't see the strong bond that's hard to break and genuine mating of Elena and Clay, the sweet personality matching of Lucas and Paige, or the understandable and fun bond between Jaime and Jeremy. I skimmed through any bedroom play since I don't care much about them in general. Again not hating, but indifferent.

Plot-wise, there's nifty structure. Hope is put into an undercover situation that makes good scenes of over the top characters, and the mystery involved in finding out who is killing who and why was a puzzler. The ending was cleverly done, bringing up a creative new villain. ...more

Poor Hope did go through hell in this though most of it was because of her own naiviety, stubborness and refusal to see the truth.
She latched onto Jaz to get over Karl and when Karl came back and they got together she still pined over Jaz and refused to accept that he and Sonny could be bad. She was blind pretty much up to the end. Not entirely her fault of course, Jaz was pure chaos, which attracted her demon as he was a veritable chaos feast which left his thoughts impossible to pick up. Whereas she could read the negative thoughts of other characters in the book she never picked up Jaz's thoughts even once cause his mind was too high speed and chaotic to read anything.Jaz was a sociopath, he couldn't see that what he was doing was wrong and even at the end he's still convinced Hope loves him and they'll be together one day! Totally dillusional as well as sociopathic!
I loved how she and Karl worked through things and Karl admitting he ran cause he was afraid of the attachment he had to her. How he's fought all his life against his wolf instincts and she's triggered one of the biggest, one he didn't believe exsisted, the instinct to be with his mate, that mate being Hope. I love how she gave him no sympathy over it, instead responding with sarcasm and put-downs to keep him on his toes! She really does know how to ground him and bring his ego down when needed!
I wasn't personally upset to see Lucas's oldest brothers killed but I was upset for Lucas and Benecio having to deal with their deaths and their aftermath. I kinda wished that Carlos was killed instead of William! Of all the brothers William seems to be the least threatening as he doesn't have Hector's level of intelligence or Carlos' level of viciousness!
I liked that Kelley had two narrators in this book, so you got a more rounded insight to the plot and what was going on. Lucas could fill in plot points that Hope couldn't and give insight she couldn't. Hope is still quite new to investigating and under-cover work, as a result she misses lots of things that the others wouldn't, which is why she needed Karl there to point out the possibilities she didn't want to see due to being too close to the gang. Agreat book overall, not my favourite but not my least favourite either! ...more
