Naturally, when she's chosen by a very dangerous group for a very dangerous mission that will take her through Miami's hot spots, she jumps at the chance. But Hope is a little too good at this job.

In this fast paced, edgy edition of Women of the Otherworld, Armstrong writes from the point of view of Hope Adams. Hope was introduced us in No Humans Involved, as a new type of demon to Armstrong's Otherworld. Hope was helped out by Cortez cabal in No Humans Involved, and now they are calling on her to pay back her debt. She and the werewolf jewel thief James Marsten, owe the debt but they are estranged and he out of the country. Hope turns to her mentors Lucas, son of the cabal head, and… + read more

True to Kelley this was a great addition to the OTHERWORLD. I can't wait now to find out what happens with Lucas and the cabals. It seems that each book opens the door for more adventure, and I love it...

Women of the Otherworld - Great Addition

This review is from: Personal Demon (Mass Market Paperbound)

11 months ago

Love this book. Personal Demon brings us back to Hope Adams, a tabloid journalist and a half demon who thrives on chaos and danger. She is recuited the Cortez family to investigate an "uprising" against the Cortez family. Hope thinks she can handle this but her "werewolf boyfriend" doesn't think she can and comes to help her in the investigation. Also involved are Lucas and Paige who we've meet in previous stories. I must say, Hope's boyfriend Karl is my third fav characters in the… + read more

An Enjoyable Addition to the Series

This review is from: Personal Demon (Mass Market Paperbound)

11 months ago

Kelley Armstrong continues to deliver with this addition to her Women of the Otherworld series. This is Hope's story. Hope is a half demon who feeds off chaos. She gets pulled into investigating a Miami gang as a way to pay off a debt to the Cortez Cabal. It soon becomes more than just a simple investigation when things turn deadly. Can Hope withstand the chaos? Besides Hope (and where there's Hope there's Karl the werewolf), this story also brings the return of Lucas and Paige (two of… + read more

No doubt Armstrong's a classic

This review is from: Personal Demon (Mass Market Paperbound)

Kelley Armstrong is one of the best writers our there today and there's no doubt that she can write an enthralling novel better then most. I thoroughly enjoyed the weird, unexpected, crazy turns in this book. Who I thought was the bad guy, turned out to be the good guys, and the guys I thought were good, turned out to be bad. Threw my world for a loop. But all in all, this was another great read by Armstrong. Although, I had a whole lot of trouble feeling anything for Karl Marsters, considering… + read more

Still Loving Armstrong

This review is from: Personal Demon (Mass Market Paperbound)

15 months ago

Armstrong does it again! Hope is such a great character with an interesting conflict. It was nice to see a whole novel dedicated to her... though she did have to share the spotlight with Lucas. I think the shared point of view between Lucas and Hope was interesting, and I liked the way the two intermingled. It gave us a chance to see characters we really love from previous stories, while further introducing us to one we'd only seen in bits and pieces. I have to say I just adored the… + read more

Excellent

This installment of women of the otherworld was really good it gives you some good background behind hope and what her abilities are. It also brings in other characters that you are more familiar with. It is action packed with suprise twists in the end of the book.

Loved It

This review is from: Personal Demon (Mass Market Paperbound)

I liked how Kelley Armstrong made two main characters/story tellers. Unlike her other novels this one got the story told from two different views, and it worked really well. I like how Hope is a naive, good girl, bad girl. She can be so innocent at times and than her inner demon tries to break free and it blows her good girl image all to heck. It was kind of nice to hear a males point of view at times, I found it odd at first that Kelley Armstrong chose Lucas but it defiantly worked out for… + read more

Chaos Reigns

17 months ago

Hope Adams is a half-demon who craves chaos; nevertheless, her greatest fear is letting down someone she loves after being swept up in a wave of anarchy. She hasn’t learned, nor does she have the confidence, to control her chaos impulses yet. Unfortunately, she owes a debt to Benicio Cortez, head of the most powerful Cabal in the supernatural world. When Benicio calls in his marker, Hope decides the assignment may even help her learn to control her hunger. She must infiltrate a gang of… + read more

Demon Charmed

2 years ago

It took me awhile to read this one, although I picked it up the day it was released. I was simply too oversaturated by the paranormal market and needed a break from the “weird.” Silly me, I forgot how much I love Armstrong’s writing. Her paranormal books are mysteries that happen to have paranormal elements, not paranormal stories that (sometimes) happen to have a plot. I didn’t feel like I was reading the same thing I’d read a million times before, nor did it leave me bogged down, trying to… + read more

Awesome again :)

2 years ago

This was an excellent read, I tried to read it slowly to savour it, but was caught up in the plot and couldn't seem to put it down. The plot flows fluidly through both the narrators, Hope, and Lucas. There were some surprising turns at the end of the book that made me almost drop the book. I don't want to spoil the book for those who haven't read it, so I won't go into detail about it, however Kelley does show you what chaos does to help and hinder Hope. We also get to see Lucas deal with the… + read more

A triumph

2 years ago

I was a little disappointed in her two previous novels, No Humans Involved and Exit Strategy, so it was with trepidation that I cracked into Armstrong's newest. However, I soon discovered that my money was well-spent, and that once again she still has the ability to suck me right in and not let go until the last page was read. This book, despite the risk she took using duel point-of-views, is a masterpiece. Well-plotted and thoroughly executed, I had little to complain about. This book… + read more

A good read

2 years ago

I've been following Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld series since the beginning and this book is the best yet. An excellent balance between the romance of Hope and Karl (go Karl!) and the 'meat' of the story, Hope's job for the Cortez Cabal. I was unsure about the dual POV but this only allows for a complete picture of the story as well as some major changes to the series backstory. Loved the guest appearances of past characters. Can't wait for the next book.
