Ivy Bailey is a vampire hunter in Chicago where she is the law and she works alone but when Christopher Bell arrives in Chicago the two must begin to work together. He is a vampire Enforcer how can she work with him? Yet sometimes one cannot fight what one feels. Having defeated Jack the Ripper so many years ago he finds himself once again following a familiar trail to Chicago. He cannot deny the familiarity of the evil. Once in Chicago he is also drawn to Ivy but she refuses his offer of protection she is a hunter after all. Will the two be able to work through their feelings and fight together against an ancient evil or will their differences be to big.

PERSONAL DEMON brings readers into the world of Vampires and demons right from the beginning. I enjoyed watching Ivy and Christopher's story unfold. While Ivy is a strong woman she is not over the top tough as nails and Christopher is not a stunning model of a hunk as many characters are in books these days. The attraction between the two is strong and watching it develop into something more was a nice read. Ivy figures out what must be done and is strong enough to do what she must without any second thoughts hoping that Christopher will understand and find her in time. He must not only find Ivy but also find his own way and just where he goes from here. Susan Sizemore gives us a wonderful story full of action and romance with a few twists and turns that kept this reader entertained all the way to the end.

I am a big fan of this author and series. Although PERSONAL DEMON can be read as a stand alone I would advise reading the other books in the series first to get a better understanding of the world that it all takes place in.
