annathepiperI spent the first three-quarters of Stacia Kane's Personal Demons not at all sure if I was going to like the book. It spends a bit too much time on sex for my liking, and I have to admit to not particularly caring for the main male character, which made it hard for me to care much about his chemistry with the heroine. Plus, at least towards the beginning, there are a couple of weird bits in the flow of the plot--bits where things suddenly jump ahead a little and then refer to something else that just happened off-camera, making you wonder if you missed a scene.
That said, there's also some good strong stuff here. Three lesser characters, a trio of guard demons, pretty much steal the show for me. This particular heroine's take on a supernatural ability is unusual--not the part where she's psychic, but more the part where this got her into massive trouble as a teenager and that trouble's coming back to bite her in the ass. Most importantly, how heroine Megan actually turns the tables on the bad guys was something I hadn't seen coming, of which I quite approved.
So overall, a fairly fluffy read, but entertaining nonetheless. Three stars.
