In her acclaimed Women of the Otherworld series, Kelley Armstrong has created a scintillating realm where the supernatural and the human coexist on the edge of darkness, romance, and eternity. Personal Demon, the eighth Otherworld book, is another wickedly entertaining tale of a young woman with an insatiable lust for danger. She can't help it; it's in her blood.

Tabloid reporter Hope Adams appears to live the life of an ordinary working girl. But, in addition to possessing the beauty of a Bollywood princess, Hope has other unique traits. For she is a half-demon - a human fathered by a demon. And she has inherited not only a gift for seeing the past but a hunger for chaos - along with a talent for finding it wherever she can. Naturally, when she's chosen by a very dangerous group for a very dangerous mission, she jumps at the chance.

The head of the powerful Cortez Cabal - a family that makes the mob look like amateurs - has a little problem in Miami: a gang of wealthy, bored offspring of supernaturals is getting out of hand, and Hope is needed to infiltrate. As spells, astral projections, and pheromones soar across South Beach, Hope weaves her way through its elite hot spots, posing as upscale eye candy and reading the auras of the clientele - and potential marks.

As it turns out, Hope is a little too good at this job, and soon she's in a little too deep, needing to be bailed out by her jewel-thief werewolf ex-boyfriend and by the Cortez heir himself. And when a killer goes to work, Hope is among many targets at the pinnacle of Cabal rule.

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.

Sexy and suspenseful, Personal Demon is a thrill ride through a world on the wild side of our own.

Featured Article: No Full Moon Needed—Here Are the 20 Best Werewolf Audiobooks to Listen to Right Now


Tired of listening to stories about humans? Consider the werewolf! Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

I love Hope, she brings a new spin to this series and seeing Carl from a different angle is great too. This is probably my 3rd listen of this series and I love it every time.

The narration for this one is a little different because it was a dual narrated book. He does a good job but like i've already said before, Laurel Merlington doesn't sound like a 20 something female character to me, she sounds more like Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote.

Hope goes to Miami to discharge a debt owed to Benecio Cortez. Of course, nothing is as simple as it sounds in the supernatural world. Karl comes to Miami to save Hope. Paige and Lucas come to save them all. Super twisty and highly entertaining story. The narrators are the best.

Emotional

I see the next book has a new narrator. Why switch from Ms Merlington? She’s the best one I’ve ever experienced. Thank You Ms Merlington!!

Laural Merlington is the best!

I think this is one of my favorites of the series, on par with the first few Elena books. Hope was originally a side character, one I didn't give much thought to. However, she had a bigger role to play in the last book, No Humans Involved (also really good) where her character was fleshed out and I really started to sympathize with her problems with her power. I thought Karl was a good match for her and it was nice to see him get some air time as well. I always liked Karl (bad boy with a heart of gold or at least silver!) and seeing him and Elena work their partnership and relationship problems was very satisfying.

This book also had a side story for Lucas and his relationship with his father, the CEO of the Cortez Cabal, which advanced nicely and even made me cry a little. The male narrator is used for Lucas and his chapters. I also enjoyed the banter between Lucas's father and his bodyguard Troy and his worry and grief when he gets injured. It was nice to see the human side of Lucus's father and see him as a man not just a "human chess master."

I loved the undercover story arc. Hope's need for chaos and connection with the "supernatural gang" who were very likable people was very well done. As was the mystery behind the set-up and killings.

As always, I really enjoyed Laural Merlington's narration. The addition of Todd McLaren for Lucas did not interfere with the story and I think actually added to it.

Really Enjoyed Hope and Karl's Story!

Any Armstrong novel is going to be great. This was no disappointment. The characters have been built for so long they each have personality and they are so much fun. This book has a great story line that enter twines with books before it. It has its usual wit, drama and supernatural ability to wrap the reader in. Great listen.

Kelley does it again.

I wondered at buying book. as Hope and Carl are Not characters I am invested in. However I like family dynamics of Benicio, Page and Lucas. I like that Page is making friends and Lucas is maturing and developing. I am liking the story.. What I'd really love is Troy's story!

development of many characters, intro of others

This is the series and the author that started it all for me with the paranormal romance genre. I chanced upon Kelley Armstrong’s works when I picked up Dime Store Magic in 2004 and I am delighted that I did. Reading is a means of relaxation and a way to leave the real world behind for me. Each story can stand alone, but Kelley Armstrong weaves her related characters beautifully throughout each story. This is the eighth book in the series and a great read. These cover a number of adult themes. I have gone on to purchase this entire set in book, Kindle and Audible forms as well as other series from Kelley Armstrong and have never been disappointed.
Tabloid reporter Hope Adams (Lucifer’s Daughter) appears to live the life of an ordinary working girl. But in addition to possessing the beauty of a Bollywood princess, Hope has other unique traits; she is a half demon, a human fathered by a demon. And she’s inherited not only a gift for seeing the past but a hunger for chaos along with a talent for finding it wherever she can. Naturally, when she’s chosen by a very dangerous group for a very dangerous mission, she jumps at the chance. Lucas' father Benicio head of the powerful Cortez Cabal, a family that makes the mob look like amateurs has a little problem in Miami: a gang of wealthy, bored offspring of supernaturals is getting out of hand, and Hope is needed to gain access to it.

Hope is a little too good at this job and soon she’s in a little too deep, needing to be bailed out by her jewel-thief werewolf ex-boyfriend Karl Marsten and by the Cortez heir himself (Lucas Cortez). And when a killer goes to work [Jasper (Jaz) and his brother Jason (Sonny) (both Human Chameleon)], Hope is among many targets at the height of Cabal rule. 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 desire

Love the book

For the first time in my listening to an audiobook, the narrators voice didn't match what the characters voice sounded like, at least to me. I don't think Laural Merlington did a bad job reading the book, I just soul fit have chosen her for Hope, Jaime or Elena, but not Hope.

This also wasn't my favorite book in the series, but it wasn't bad. I did like the steps Lucas made with his father.

Meh.....
