Glad I read that cover tagline because I have to say Personal Demons was a hoot. In a good way! Told from both Frannie and Luc's first person POV, you have Frannie is like 'omg hot guy!!!' when she sees Luc, Luc who is like 'Tag one soul, be on my way...whoa aren't you a cutie?' and then later Gabe who is all serious business...but verging on 'Fallen Angel' territory despite his best intentions.
I found it entertaining that Luc would be cocksure about Frannie's reactions--basing his actions around the typical response he engenders in people--and then feel put out because Frannie decides to be the bigger person. He sulks! I mean not even angsty 'Why won't she pay attention to me?!' sulking, but true sulking because she's not doing what he wants her to do! Gabe, who's head I wish we could have entered at least once just to see what's behind that heavenly smile facade, acted way less Angelic then you'd expect. Smugness, arrogance, temptation of the flesh...I understand that it was fire fighting fire (that is hot guy vs. hot guy) for Frannie's immortal soul, but did no one learn anything in Heaven about sticking a hot guy in a teen girl's path? He had no flaws, at least nothing superficially, though his goody-goody personality irked me to no end.
This is definitely a book aimed at the older end of Young Adult; cursing runs around, violence, a bit of adult content (Luc does try to seduce at least five separate times and beyond even that, Frannie has a vivid imagination) and I'm pretty sure those with strong religious convictions shouldn't read this unless they can handle the sometimes blasphemous talk.
I do have one fairly big complaint, which is really kind of muddled. Its with the romance triangle. Or rather what possibly created the love triangle. There are certain aspects of Frannie's soul that make me a little leery of the romance. Not so much that I doubt the romance, but more the origins of it left me feeling cold. I can't say too much here, since its a decent sized spoiler to say what really bugs me about the romance, but suffice to say that if I didn't enjoy the book for how amusing it turned out to be I would be a very unhappy camper. (If anyone really cares to know what it is, send me an email and I'll tell you).
I can't wait for book 2, which doesn't come out until next year and then we have to wait for book 3, to come out in 2012. In the meanwhile, I need to find me the two cover models for the book that portray Luc and Gabe. I have some questions about religion--sure we'll go with that--I think they can help me with.… (meer)
