Half-demon Hope Adams loves her job. Granted, working for True News tabloid isn't quite the career her high-society family had in mind for her. What they don't know is that the tabloid job is just a cover, a way for her to investigate stories with a paranormal twist, and help protect the supernatural world from exposure. When Hope's “handler” sends her and a date to a museum charity gala, Hope suspects there's more to it than a free perk. He's tested her before. This time, she's ready for whatever he throws her way. Or so she thinks...until she meets her target: werewolf thief, Karl Marsten...From [http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/aChaotic.htm author's website] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060712110756/http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/aChaotic.htm |date=July 12, 2006 }}
