By most standards, Georgina Kincaid has got it all. She has
the ability to look like whomever she so chooses, her job is
to sleep with men who have made a deal with the devil and
steal bits of their soul and she's immortal. Georgina,
however, isn't all that thrilled with her life. Though she
has the best immortal friends a girl could want, she's
lonely and wants to be able to have a loving relationship
with a man. But because she can't be with a man without
sucking out bits of his life force, she sticks to men who
are part of her job.
As if abstaining from a relationship isn't hard enough,
abstaining in the face of temptation is even harder.
Especially when the temptation comes in doubles. First
there's shy best selling author Seth Mortensen whose books
Georgina would sell her own soul (if she still had one left)
to get before they're even published and then there's hunky
Roman Smith, who saved her from her boss and refuses to take
no for an answer. But before this alluring succubus can
decide to do or don't with either man, immortals around the
Emerald City start showing up dead and Georgina has to find
out who or what is killing them, fast. From the looks of
things, she may just be next on the killer's list.
Every so often you get a book that makes you think; "This is
why I read paranormal!" SUCCUBUS BLUES is that kind of book.
I was sucked into it from the get go and long after I had
finished reading it, I still couldn't stop thinking about
the characters and what's going to happen in the next book.
For a debut author, Richelle Mead has done a phenomenal job
in bringing all her characters to life, especially Georgina.
She delves deep into Georgina's life, her relationships, how
she came to be a succubus and you start to really identify
with her character. Full of wit, charm, sarcasm and enough
sex appeal to keep you on your toes, SUCCUBUS BLUES will
suck you into its world and not let go. The sequel, SUCCUBUS
ON TOP, cannot come out fast enough for me.
When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty
glamourous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe
is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch.
Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get
technical?
But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid's life is far less
exotic. Her boss is a middle-management demon with a thing
for John Cusack movies. Her immortal best friends haven't
stopped teasing her about the time she shape-shifted into
the Demon Goddess getup complete with whip and wings. And
she can't have a decent date without sucking away part of
the guy's life. At least there's her day job at a local
bookstore--free books; all the white chocolate mochas she
can drink; and easy access to bestselling, sexy writer, Seth
Mortensen, aka He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but
Can't.
But dreaming about Seth will have to wait. Something wicked
is at work in Seattle's demon underground. And for once, all
of her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners won't help
because Georgina's about to discover there are some
creatures out there that both heaven and hell want to
deny...
