Frannie Cavanaugh is a good Catholic girl with a bit of a wicked streak. She has spent years keeping everyone at a distance—-even her closest friends—-and it seems as if her senior year is going to be more of the same . . . until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can’t seem to stay away from him.
What she doesn’t know is that Luc is on a mission. He’s been sent from Hell itself to claim Frannie’s soul. It should be easy—-all he has to do is get her to sin, and Luc is as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn’t stand a chance. But he has to work fast, because if the infernals are after her, the celestials can’t be far behind. And sure enough, it’s not long before the angel Gabriel shows up, willing to do anything to keep Luc from getting what he came for. It isn’t long before they find themselves fighting for more than just Frannie’s soul.
But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay . . . for all of them.

What a fun read!  This was just what I needed today.  A fun, easy to read, YA paranormal romance that sucked me in and allowed me to escape with some great characters and a fresh story.  Lisa writing was such a pleasure to experience.  The words flowed extremely well and kept me turning pages all the way through to the end.
Luc, Frannie, and Gabe were crafted flawlessly, and so fun!  I felt myself connected to Frannie right off the bat, and *whew* Luc is amazing!  Maybe the fact that I’m always drawn to the bad boys played a part in my falling for him, but I think it was more of Lisa’s character development skills.  She did a wonderful job with all of them and I look forward to reading more about them all.
Personal Demons is a fantastic story with rich characters, a fresh plot, and is very well written.  If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading this book yet, I highly suggest you do!
My Rating: 4/5 fairies!
