O'Gawd - This series is killing me. Damn you Richelle Mead! Nobody else gets me so freakin invested into characters. First she killed me with "Vampire Academy" - "Love fades, mine has"…. AND now she has me crying like a baby during the story of Georgina and Seth. Damned you to HELL, Richelle Mead!!!! You are a very evil author. Then you make me look up the song "Running up that hill". Gawd - I can't keep from crying during these last two books. Now I have a theme so

I think I've finally figured out why I'm not that into this series. I'm a fan of both Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy and Dark Swan series, but for some reason I've had a hard time connecting with this one, and it wasn't until Book 4 that I realized what was bothering me. (Yeah, I'm a little slow on the uptake.) It's simply this: I believe in fidelity. Both emotionally and sexually.

After all of my bitching about slow starts for the past 3 books, I finally hit book Nirvana again! Thank you Richelle for finally showing me what I already know you are capable of - making me care enough about the characters to find passion in what does or does not happen to them.

I was lucky enough to get this book a little bit early at a book signing today and dove right in. The previous book in this series was more than a little sad, and this book wasn't any different. It starts out with Georgina really struggling to find her equilibrium again after losing Seth to a coworker, affecting both her work at the bookstore and for Jerome. Jerome, fed up with her attitude, decides to use her to help solve a problem he's facing with a neighboring archdemon up in Vancouver, B

Well, it's been much less agonizing to re-read this installment than the one before. Why? Because why worry about rotten people and their love troubles? It is a bold move on the author's part to create a couple as flawed as Georgina and Seth and expect readers to continue rooting for them. Now I only enjoy this rompy series for its cast of characters, killer dialog and smut. And when I hear Seth and Georgina praising each other's virtues or proclaiming their super-special soul mate love while <

Warning: About to toss out random musings ....
Okay, whilst I'm not ecstaticly happy about the 'Seth situation', I'm by no means as unhappy as I was at the end of Succubus Dreams. This book went a long way to appeasing my annoyance at the author, even if the 'solution' was far from ideal and we all knew it wouldn't truly end with the white picket fence.
I was oddly and perversely pleased to see <spoiler>Roman</spoiler? turn back up again. Whilst it was always obviously More...

Wowzah!
What’s gotten into Seth?!
And what’s up with the men in her life?
To review: First there was Roman, suave confident, but crazy and murderous. Then there was Seth, the good guy, or so I thought! Since all good things do come to an end, we have her moving onto Dante, of questionable moral standing, a little skeevy but at least upfront to a point. Could she not get a good one, or a good one that lasts?

3,5 stars
Succubus Heat is the fourth installment in the Georgina Kincaid series.
Because of her constant sulking state after her break up with Seth, Georgina is sent to Canada to investigate a satanic cult which seems to be embarrasing the demon world. In the mean time she has to spy on the region's arch demon Cedric. But... there are other powers at work and Georgina soon gets caught up in much bigger trouble.

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

Read from January 23 to 25, 2011
This book is back up at the 5-star rating, despite the expected resolution of Seth and Georgina's relationship.
Georgina's "boss" has gone missing, and she's the only one brave enough to take on the task of finding him. While the demon is gone, all of her underlings have lost their Hell-ish powers. That means no shape-shifting for Georgina, and also no stealing of souls.

Succubus Heat was excellent. I think that Georgina is a very complex character. Even though she is works for Hell, she has a good heart. Most of the things she does, she does out of kindness. However, we see a selfish side to her in this book, but a lot that happens is bittersweet. I had reservations when I read the blurb, but the execution of the story was perfect. The author pulled out a lot of different emotions as I was reading this. This is a wonderful series and I feel a connection with ea

Better than book 3. Renewed my interest in the series. I thought book 3 was kinda boring.

In the fourth Kincaid novel, Richelle Mead continues to dazzle me with her writing genius and her ability to make me believe and love the world that she’s created, and the characters in it. In Succubus Heat, Georgina is in a bit of a down whirl spiral since her breakup with Seth (not that I blame her). And Jerome becomes so annoyed with her behavior that he loans her out to a demons in Canada and help with a satanic cult over there.

My Review:
Book #3 left Georgina and me in a weeping puddle, but now it is about 4 months later, and rather than weepy, Georgina has turned bitter, cold, and depressed. Jerome, her archdemon, is tired of dealing with her attitude so he decides that a bit of work away from Seattle might be good for everyone, so she is hopping between Seattle and Canada, and getting caught up in demon politics.

Fourth in the Georgina Kincaid urban fantasy series revolving around a succubus, Georgina, who is based in Seattle with a job as manager at a bookstore.
The Story
Jerome is so angry with Georgina that he's loaned her out to a rival demon in Vancouver to help quash a cult of Satanists who are making evil look bad. Yeah, who knew??!
Then Georgina loses her powers—she can't shapeshift new clothes, accessories. She even has to do her own hair…and she had no idea it got so dang More...

For anyone who has read, and liked, any of Mrs. Mead's books. I'm sure I will not shock you at all that I keep praising her books, her series and her talent at writting some of the most exciting, mysterious, hear gripping and page grabbing books in the market.
This book was an emotional roller coaster ride. Georgina just can't stay out of trouble. Specially since she has thown her self to the gutters after being dumped by Seth. How can she ever recover? Well how about dating a bum who has p More...

In the fourth book of the Georgina Kincaid series, Georgie finds herself once more in the middle of a supernatural crisis. This time, at least, she wasn't the one to put herself there. Sent up to Canada to look into a satanist cult (whose actions are only making those around them turn to good rather than evil) that she's supposed to stop. Unfortunately, when an 'Angel' appears to them and tells them not to trust her, it makes her life very difficult. Meanwhile, Jerome has been kidnapped and

This series just gets better and better. I picked this up last night just to read a few chapters while I was killing some time waiting for a phone call. I ended up staying up until 2AM so I could finish it. I was having such a good time reading it I just couldn't put it down.

How could he understand what it was like to have your heart smashed? To be ripped from the person you loved most in the world? My whole existence had lost meaning, and eternity had seemed impossible to bear.

The satanic cult conflict was just hilarious. ("...there was one time this Methodist church was having an ice cream social. We broke in beforehand and left all their ice cream outside the freezer to melt.") haha. The Angel of Darkness do have a sense of humor after all to make humans look like fools. The theme on black magic was intriguingly well written, a lot of times when black magic is concerned (based on malay folklore), it's always a two-way thing. I never thought that the situat

In the continuing saga of Georgina the succubus, we find her sent out of her comfort zone to Vancouver to help a neighbouring archdemon. Georgina is expected to follow a satanic cult and disband them, however she soon finds that they are a cover for something much bigger, just figuring out what they're covering is going to take the full novel. Along the way the Seattle lesser immortals lose their powers, giving them all some novel experiences.

Plot summary: Georgina Kincaid is a succubus. That is, she's sold her soul to the devil and is now in the service of Hell. As well as doing the underworld's bidding, she must also seduce guys in order to drain them of energy to sustain herself. And not just any guy - the more ‘pure' his soul, the more energy Georgina will receive, whilst at the same time shortening his life.

Another great novel! It makes me really happy that this author can continue in a series with a) the same main characters and b) still dazzle me with her writing genius.
After finishing the third book, I felt incredibly depressed, as I am sure a lot of fans felt right along with me. I'm not sure I agree any more with the standings in book four, like in book three, BUT the author did an amazing job of soothing my own feelings about everything.

Another great addition in a series I really enjoy. I have to admit I do get frustrated with numerous characters throughout this series but the mystery and the intrigue keeps me reading. I love the ongoing theme that no one is above redemption. I love that demons can be nice people and can love others. I'm not a fan of the on again-off again Seth-Georginia relationship. It's been explored enough, please move on. The same cast of characters that don't grow or mature is a bit stale also. Don't be t
