Best Book of an Amazing Series,
By
This review is from: Succubus Heat (Paperback)
This book started off dark for the main character, I wasn't really happy with who she had become but the beginning was well worth the rest of the book. It's well written and left me reaching for the next book in the series.

Another excellent read from Richelle. I couldn't put it down. Chapter 17 had me on the edge of my seat!!! I loved it. Highly recommend. It was hot, captivating and truly a page turner. Can't wait for the next one.

Another excellent entry in the Georgina Kincaid series,
By Steven A. Peterson - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Succubus Heat (Paperback)
This is the fourth in the Georgina Kincaid series. She is a succubus, prowling the streets of Seattle, sucking the life out of men with her intimacies with them. This story builds on the three prior novels, reintroducing characters like Roman (her relationship with him in an earlier work ended badly, to put it mildly).The major plot twist here is that the boss (a demon, Jerome) in the Seattle region disappears. The power of immortals (vampires, imps, and succubae) also disappears. They are immortal, but do not have their powers. If Jerome can't be found, then a new boss will need to be selected. Part of the driving force of this book is the dynamics of those who want to take over; indeed, ambition has led to something of a coup d'état. Georgina, in an improbable alliance with her former boyfriend, Seth Mortenson (the dilemma that they faced--they could not be intimate without her slowly draining him of his life force), sets out to find Jerome. Adding to the dynamics of the work is that after their breakup, Seth began dating one of Georgina's best friends, Maddie (you need a scorecard to keep the players straight if you haven't read earlier works in this series; one piece of advice--read some of the earlier volumes to understand context). There are the poignant moments between Seth and Georgina; now, they can be intimate without damage to him as she has lost her powers. But--there is also the knowledge that this is only for the short term and that they are both betraying Maddie. The book ends with some unresolved tensions that promise to animate future volumes in this series. All in all, another fine entry in the series by Richelle Mead. 14 of 16 people found the following review helpful

Not many happy moments here. It's heartbreaking and feels so real.,
By Jacqueline Cook "The Eclectic Book Lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Succubus Heat (Paperback)
In Georgina's fourth outing Mead continues the heartrending tone that initiated by it's predecessor, Succubus Dreams. Our heroine is deep in a funk and from page one it seems like the hits just keep coming for her. Don't take that as a negative though. This installment provides everything that readers have come to expect and love from Mead, and some. Heat doesn't lack for any of the love, passion, mystery and action that made the first three novels so gripping. But for each bit of those elements, the pain is ratcheted up about three times more.With the brief reprieve from her soul-sucking abilities, Georgina is faced with the opportunity to partake of everything we've seen her long for - only it may be too little, too late. Bittersweet the novel may be, it's pervasive sadness only lends to make the story that much more beautiful. The mystery part of the plot blends in well with the romance here too. It's evenly paced and well thought out. It also serves as mechanism to better illustrate the complexity of each player involved in the story. Major characters and bit players alike are all very nuanced and add to the impression that, despite this being a story about the preternatural, this is all very real. I know it sounds cliche but I laughed, I cried. I definitely cried. Consequences seems to be the theme of this one. Almost every party involved is faced with a decision of their own to make, and for each one the outcome is felt by all. There are a few surprises in-store and, for those concerned, the issues of Georgina's contract and her prophetic dreams from Nyx are each addressed. Fans, you won't be disappointed. Heartbroken sure, but in that respect you're no better off than Georgina. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Gets old fast,
By ELS - Published on Amazon.com
I've now read two of the "Succubus" series, and I won't be reading any others. I found the first one tedious, despite the soft porn (a bit more than even I expected, despite knowing the subject is a succubus). I tried another one, however, as I found the angel character interesting -- kind of reminded me of Alan Rickman in "Dogma." But by the end of the second book I'd had it with everything else: the protagonist, the prose, the plot. I generally gravitate towards series and am happy when there are several in a set. But I won't be buying anything else by Richelle Mead.
