I enjoy Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series and snatch them up as they appear. Part of what makes this series different is that the books are from different perspectives--almost always female and written in first person. This is the first to change that formula, bringing in a second point of view--a male one, Lucas, one of my favorite Armstrong characters who appeared in Dime Store Magic and Industrial Magic. (Which means that Paige is featured here, which always is going to kick up these books a notch for me.)
Earlier books featured a female werewolf, a witch, an angel, and a necromancer. Now in this book we have as protagonist and main point of view character, Hope Adams, a half-demon. I think of all of Armstrong's heroines, Adams is in the most precarious situation as she struggles with that demonic part of her, to use it without letting it use her. That lends a very palpable tension to the books featuring her, both Personal Demon and the next book in the series, Living With the Dead. This book is a fun and engrossing read for those that like urban fantasy, especially laced with mystery, suspense, and romance.
