Review: Personal Demons by Lisa Desrochers

Synopsis: 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.

Luc and Gabe are each insanely hot and fiercely distrustful of each other, but that is where their similarities end. Luc is dark, dangerous, and hot as hell, which is actually where he came from. Luc was sent to tag Frannie's soul for hell and the few that tried before him had dier consequences. That will also be Luc's fate, a trip to the Fiery Pit, if he doesn't tag Frannie's soul for Hell. But Gabe isn't about the let that happen. Gabe is also insanely sexy and equally as interested in tagging Frannie's soul, except he wants it in Heaven's favor. This story made me think twice about my own choices between dangerous and safe, Heaven and Hell, and even wrong and right. Luc and Frannie alternate narration in this story and each of them have a different perspective which gives the story more depth. I felt the story's love triangle was confusing for Frannie but there is definitely room for teams in this book (and I would choose Luc any day!) A great story about making decisions and second chances. All the emotions in the book are felt by the reader and you feel equally as broken most of the time as Frannie. The characters in this story change and progress well. Overall, it was a great read and I cannot wait until I get to read Original Sin in July. I would absolutely recommend this book to others but maybe for older teens for parents who are concerned about mature language and some sexual content.
