Since this is a series book, it's a bit harder to talk about than a regular book, as there is a great deal that happened before that led us to this particular story. Anyway, the full series (Women of the Underworld) is one of my favorite paranormal sets. The world setting is that paranormal people exist among us, unknown, just doing their thing. Only their thing is way more exciting than ours, with witches, sorcerers, werewolves, etc. The author changes narrators between books, which keeps things fresh and introduces new people without creating a giant cast of characters that need to be in each novel. It also allows each character to grow in a reasonable manner, without having to overpower someone just to give then something to do.
Personal Demon follows Hope, a half demon who's special ability is to sense and relive chaos events. This sort of makes her a tracking dog of the supernatural world, since she can sense bad magic, murder, etc. and get a replay of what happened. This sucks for her, since she can't turn off the receptors. I liked Hope-she was fun, and I liked that no matter how hard things got for her, she kept trying to get her abilities under control and fine tune them then as best she can. Her love interest, a werewolf, was a bit of a stock character, but no less fun for that. I don't think it will be my favorite book in the series, but it was a worthy addition none the less.
