Eighth in the Women of the Otherworld urban fantasy series revolving around witches, warlocks, demons, and shifters. This tale takes place in Miami and focuses on Hope Adams.

My Take

Personal Demon started out so lightheartedly…and then the end. Oh lord, it was intense. This romance revolves around Hope Adams, the chaos demon, who reports for a national rag while investigating for the Council and Karl Marsden, the once-renegade werewolf.

Desperate to be out from under the obligation of owing Benicio Cortez a favor for his past help to her and Karl, Hope has to infiltrate a gang in Miami for which she refuses to contact Karl for help. Since the morning after their passionate Valentine’s night when he shattered her with his cold words, Hope wants nothing more to do with him.

Even knowing she can’t trust a cabal man, Hope is still shocked by what Benicio intends and the real plans of the gang. Plans that involve Lucas and Paige’s futures as well.
