Georgina Kincaid is a succubus with the dual problem of disliking her job—not working for Hell, per se, but of stealing the souls of her unsuspecting victims—and having a human boyfriend that her job prevents her from being intimate with. If it's not one thing it's another for Georgina. First, she has to keep sleeping around and soul stealing to remain in Hell's good graces, but she also has to hide her activities so she doesn't hurt her boyfriend's feelings. True, Seth knows Georgie's a succubus, and he supposedly doesn't care, but no one wants to see their girlfriend glowing with another man's life force. Then she has to mentor a new (and hopeless) succubus in her area, who hasn't a clue how to bag a man. Finally, when SUCCUBUS DREAMS begins, Georgina has the added problem of waking up drained every time she gets a fix.

SUCCUBUS DREAMS is the third story in Richelle Mead's Georginia Kincaid story, and focuses on how Georgina gets herself out of the aforementioned fixes. The first two books focused on how Georgina managed to build a relationship with a human, despite the danger involved in what she does. But this book focuses more on what happens now that they have a relationship. Can you remain with someone when there's no physical intimacy, but the emotional intimacy abounds? And then there's Georgina's shady succubus intern, who—despite Barbie-like proportions and the ability to seduce men inherently—just can't seem to bag a guy. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing if Georgina didn't get punished for the new succubus's lack of success. Georgina has no problems bagging a man herself, it's just that she wakes the morning after completely drained and with no idea how she got that way. Combined with a band of rogue angels in the Seattle area, and SUCCUBUS DREAMS sets you up for an entertaining story in deed.

Richelle Mead is one of those rare authors who writes in a saturated market—I love paranormal romance, but I'm the first too admit that there are way too many of them right now—but does it with such wit and style that you want to read her books regardless. Georgina Kincaid is that rare breed of heroine who you want to hate (she's beautiful, she can have any man she wants, and if she's having a bad hair day she can just shape-shift it better), but who is so endearing and entertaining that you can't help but empathize. This is one of those series that keeps me coming back for more and eagerly anticipating what comes next. This book didn't disappoint me in that respect. Georgina as a character is more fully developed in this story and it's not nearly as light-hearted as the previous two books. The journey of these books is an emotional one, but well worth every twist and turn. If you haven't read the series before, start with the first book SUCCUBUS DREAMS, but fans of the series won't be disappointed with this addition to the offerings.
