Product Description

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...

From Booklist
The ability to look like whoever you please. The power to bring men to their knees. Sure, it sounds like heaven to be a succubus, but even after centuries, Georgina Kincaid is still haunted by her past and her loneliness, and her real job in the Emerald City involves assisting men who have made deals with the devil fulfill their pacts. Actual loving relationships with men are off-limits. So, naturally, she has men vying for a place in her life, especially linguist Roman and her favorite author, Seth. While Georgina tries to hold off the threat to her peace they're causing, another, more dangerous menace emerges: something or someone is stalking immortals, and she may be next on its list. At the start of a planned series, Mead cooks up an appetizing debut that blends romantic suspense with a fresh twist on the paranormal, accented with eroticism. Nina Davis

Customer Reviews

I'm addicted to Georgina
The cover on this book looks like it's a trashy paranormal romance, but the writing in this book is actually incredibly engaging and clever. I began reading Mead's work with Vampire Academy, since I was looking for something fun to read after Twilight, and once I finished those, I couldn't find anything else good to read, so even though the cover looked like I wouldn't like this, I gave it a try. Thank goodness I did.

I've blown through all three books in a week and a half - I just can't get enough of the characters and engaging writing style. There is explicit sex in here - hey, it's a book about a gal who takes men's souls during sex, what do you expect? But it added to the story and was done well.

If the cover's scaring you off, please just give this book a try anyway. You'll love it and if you are like me, you'll have the next two overnighted.

Outstanding first book in a series
What I think is so cool about this series is that it doesn't really seem like a series. If you should by the second book first, you don't HAVE to read the first in order to know what's going on. This first book was awesome-I read alot and haven't been able to discover many authors that I can sit down and read everything they've written. I'm glad I can do that with this.

Great beginning for a great series!
This is an great beginning to a great series. Richelle Mead draws you in from page one. I was reluctant at first, a shape-shifting succubus that sleeps with men to suck the life from them? But after reading this book, I was hooked. I find myself wanting to read the story over again even though I know what happens. I definitely recommend this book.
