Book Reviews of Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, Book 1)

Book Review: A pleasure that won't leave you feeling guilty
Summary: 5 Stars

Confession time: I'm a little leery of urban fantasy featuring sympathetic demons, thanks in no small part to my Catholic upbringing, but unlike all too many Catholics, I'm able to draw the line between theology and fiction and overcome these inhibitions... And I'm delighted that I did when I found this delightful book.

Everything about this book is a facet in a rare gem: snappy dialogue, great world-building (it's cool to see a succubus, a couple of kooky vampires, an imp, and an angel hanging out together like any other laid-back thirty-somethings), characters who are down-to-earth (even when they're preternatural beings). Georgina, the succubus of the title, is a subtly seductive being, the sort you'd love to have as a galpal, even if she *is* a sexy demon who feeds off the life-force of the men she seduces. But she's very real character and her problems -- her search to find the mysterious being that's killing and injuring other preternatural beings in her circle of friends, her budding relationship with a lovably geeky bestselling author whose books she adores -- are just as real. You'll catch yourself cheering and crying and laughing out loud at her successes and tragedies and her smart-mouthed wit. The sexual content is fairly PG-13, which is a welcome relief in a genre that can easily become bogged-down with over-sexed stuff (granted, the opening scene has our gal seducing a lonely nerd, but hey, it gives hope to all nerds out there, non?), and the romantic angle helps move the story along, never once getting in the way of the plot. All in all, a *GREAT* read, whether it's a beach read (Hey, you can't go wrong with a gal who always looks hot in a swimsuit) or if you're curled up at home on a rainy night.

Summary of Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, Book 1)

Succubus (n.) An alluring, shape-shifting demon who seduces and pleasures mortal men. Pathetic (adj.) A succubus with great shoes and no social life. See: Georgina Kincaid.

When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. 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...

"What an incredible debut novel! Succubus Blues is exciting, witty, sexy, intriguing and had me captivated from the first page." --Cheyenne McCray, author of Seduced by Magic
