Reviews of Personal Demons:
"This was new, fresh and fun! Sexy, devilish and quirky! With so many books on
the market based on so many different paranormal creatures
Personal Demons really stands out of the crowd and waves its arms around for
everyone to see. The author has come up with something new and
out of the ordinary. With characters that are entertaining and welcoming." -- ParaNormal
Romance.org
"Personal Demons is a nice change from the usual tales of vampires and
werewolves
running around shrieking about mates and soulmates. It is also a fun-filled read
that I find so enjoyable from the first page to last." -- Mrs Giggles
"The wittiness of our heroine and the brass balls that she grew throughout the
title are awesome, and the sheer enjoyment from the posse of guard dogs who not
only protect her well-being, but can style hair AND put on a girl's make up,
refreshingly unique." (4.5 stars / Spotlight Book) -- BookFetish
"First off, I loved the cover design. It was very stylish and decidedly NOT like
all of the formulaic paranormal fantasy cover art out there (i.e.: seductively
clad female protagonist in front of a full moon or gravestone holding a knife or
sword or gunifd). And just as the cover art is decidedly not formulaic, so was
Stacia's writing style. I am so psyched by the novel's first, say, 50 pages. It
read like a mainstream fiction novel and by that I mean Stacia set the stage in
what seemed like a relatively normal world and little by little began offering
up insights into Megan's powers and singular significance, Greyson Dante's true
identity and mission, etc. Very savvy for a young novelist ifI- I was suitably
impressed by Stacia's storytelling abilitiesifdI also thought the whole take on
demons was refreshingly original. It's
increasingly hard to do something truly original in this subgenre but I think
Stacia did a wonderful job..."Paul Goat Allen, B&N Book Club
"...Watch out Urban Fantasy, there's a new girl in town. Stacia Kane's new
series
gets a fantastic start in Personal Demons....The pacing of this book is
close to perfect, I devoured it in near record time
not because it's short, but because it was such an easy and enjoyable read...The
winners of funnest new sidekicks were the demonic cockney
triplets - Malleus, Maleficarum, and Spud. These guys offered a laugh at every
turn and I grew truly concerned when their lives were in danger.
I'm excited about Stacia Kane's prospects in the Urban Fantasy genre. Personal
Demons is fun, scary, sexy, exciting and everything in between and if the second
book, Demon Inside, can live up to the first then Kane will definitely be a
must-read author."--FantasySciFi Book Review
"Personal Demons is an exciting new addition to the urban
fantasy/paranormal
romance genre. It's action packed, humorous and suspenseful." -- Spotlight
Review
"This is a really enjoyable read with great pacing and some interesting
settings...Megan herself is well-drawnifd a likeable and
believable character. Greyson Dante is necessarily mysterious and his motivation
hard to fathom, but he is an appealing character and the sparks between him and
Megan are well-written....overall a good read and the beginning of what seems to
be an interesting series featuring Megan and Dante. (5 Stars) -- Curled Up With A Good Book
"Are you looking for something different to read in the paranormal genre?
Personal Demons by Stacia Kane kicks off a new series with a sexy demon, a
number of humorous secondary characters and situations, and a kick-butt fun
heroine who intends to save the world, all set in a contemporary urban
setting!...I enjoyed the book and laughed out loud at some of the antics of the secondary
characters and was glad I was reading this during the day in other parts of the
story. (5 Angels) -- Fallen Angels Review
"I found this story to have a unique twist on the overdone subjects of demons
and
psychics. If there are other stories out there like this one, I've never read
it. A fanc'l walk on the creepy and dark side that will keep you up reading
long into the night. A great beginning to a new series." (Five Stars) --
Huntress Book Reviews
"With exciting action scenes and hot, hot passion, this romance-with-a-plot is
perfect for snuggling up with by the fire, or for wiping out the tedium of a
train or plane journey." --GUD Magazine
"Ms. Kane has managed to blend eerie edginess with laugh out loud humor and
just enough romance to make this a truly winning recipe for a good read. She
even includes a recipe that looks interesting enough to almost tempt a
vegetarian!
I simply adored this story, especially the three brothers who I cannot decide if
I'd enjoy having around
or if they'd drive me mad trying to 'take care of me' were I their charge. Treat
yourself to this when you want to smile." -- Mist and Stars
"...when I picked it up, I figured I'd spent a few minutes while the pork chops
grilled and read a few pages. Sixty pages later, I realized I really needed to
get them off the grill before they started to burn. I think it was about 23:30
at night when I announced I wasn't going to sleep until I finished it. Note to
self, don't start reading anything but Stacia Kane after 19:00 if I have work
the next morningifd.In other words, I enjoyed it a lot. She has a very easy style
for reading and I found myself going through the story at a pretty good clip.
She has a great flair for describing scenes and many of her characters have a
really neat set of personalities. I have to admit, I love the cosmology of her
demons, it is interesting without being too far off from the expected norm." -- Moonfire
