Jun. 28th, 2009 01:26 pmBook #53 -- Kelley Armstrong, Personal Demon, 371 pages.
Kelley Armstrong has this gift for creating side characters I find annoying, and then turning them into central characters I find I like. I really shouldn't be surprised by this any more. First it was Paige, then Jaime, and now Hope Adams, all of whom annoyed the hell out of me when they first showed up, and have since grown on me. Elena was really the only one I liked right off the bat. And I was surprised how much I grew to like Karl in this book, predisposed as I was to hate him based on the first novel. And of course, I actually do really like Benicio, so it was nice to see more of him, and his awkward but ultimately loving relationship with Lucas. So yeah, now I've got another character to care about and it looks like the next book features Hope as well.
And if you are totally lost and don't know what I'm talking about, you should go read Bitten, which is the first in the series, and keep at it from there :)
