Megan promises listeners to her new radio call-in show that she'll "slay their personal demons," and they believe her. So do the personal demons. Although she doesn't know it, Megan is the only human without a personal demon on her shoulder. This, coupled with her psychic abilities, makes her a valuable weapon for any demon "family" that can gain her allegiance. It also makes her a serious threat -- not just to the personal demons, but to a soul-sucker known as The Accuser who has an old score to settle. Megan and her allies -- a demon lover who both protects and seduces her with devilish intensity, a witch with poor social skills, and three cockney guard demons -- have to deal not only The Accuser, the personal demons, and the ghosts of Megan's past, but a reporter who threatens to destroy Megan's career.… (mais)

Megan is a psychologist who is just starting a radio show. She gets forced into a slogan that causes all kinds of dangerous adventures to happen in her future. Her slogan for her radio show is that she'll slay your personal demons. This makes the real demons curious, worried, and angry.

This story has a few characters. But you really only see four. The "bad guy", the sexy good guy, the cute annoying guy, and Megan Chase. There is also Tara but she's in the book for like three scenes.

I do like this book a lot. I am really looking forward to the rest of this series. ( )

Personal Demons
3 Stars

Superficial world building and characterization but the plot has potential and the climax and resolution are riveting.

Megan is an appealing heroine with an independent streak and a snarky sense of humor. Unfortunately, her smart mouth fails her when she needs it the most and ultimately comes across as weak willed and lacking backbone as she allows almost every other character to bully her - her boss, her lover, her colleagues, the tabloid reporter and the villain. Her backstory is insufficiently developed which detracts both from her character and the plot.

The hero, Greyson Dante, is your typical alpha male who just happens to be a demon. Of course, he has a heart of gold despite forwarding his own agenda. He and Megan have some great chemistry although it is never really clear what he sees in her.

The rest of the supporting cast are a mixed bag. The villain is obvious from the start (although there is a slight twist at the end that contributes to the suspenseful climax) and the demon bodyguards are simply wonderful. The character that stands out the most in his obnoxiousness is Brian, the smarmy tabloid reporter. He treats Megan with an inappropriate sense of familiarity bordering on stalkerish, turns into a prejudiced, hypocritical git and finally does a 180 and becomes a savior in disguise leaving the reader scratching their head in confusion.

All in all, this is an OK read but if you are interested in a truly excellent world with intriguing demon characters then I recommend Larissa Ione's Demonica series. ( )

Really liked it. Had some issues with the heroine. Longer review soon ( )

I liked the story in the beginning. However, it started to drag. It just didn't keep me interested. The demon lover came across as a sexual weasel. The bodyguards were just too over the top. And the lead character, in between being kind of whiney she was entirely too accepting of her situation. It just really didn't work for me. ( )

I picked this up at the library in one of those "I need something that's light and short to tide me over until I get home" moments (I read and walk, it's a terrible habit and it takes me 20 minutes to walk home). So I was looking for something fun, frivolous and not particularly intellectual. I received exactly what I wanted (except that it then began to rain and thus I could not read it while walking... *sighs*). This book is an entertaining read. It's predictable in some ways (sexy guy with esteem turns up early in book, you kinda can guess where that's going to go) and unpredictable in others (no spoilers!). Dante is kinda sexy, if you like arrogance and a mild lack of empathy. The plot is intriguing and kept me amused until the end. And I would be curious to read more. ( )
