Personal Demon
by Kelley Armstrong
Book 8 in Women of the Otherworld
Hope Adams is one of the most uniquely compelling heroines in urban fantasy - a half-demon who gets a literal high from danger. The dual POV with Lucas Cortez gives the Cabal political machinations real weight, and Karl Marsten is the kind of morally gray love interest who steals scenes without trying.
