Georgina Kincaid might be the most emotionally draining character I’ve ever encountered. In Succubus Shadows she’s perpetually depressed--consumed with mourning her lost relationship. Not a page goes by without her lamenting the could’ve beens.
It’s all too much. All right already, Georgina. You’re sad. You’re aching. You’re oh so torn over your special wuv and forevah connection.

Hmm ... was it as good as I was hoping? Not quite. I almost want to give this one 3 stars but I can't bring myself to do so because there were enough really good parts for me to feel justified with the 4. I think a lot of people are going to be angry and happy with this one, and then there's people like me in the middle. I don't dislike Seth or Roman so I'll probably be happy with whomever she chooses, but I really just wish she'd choose already.

"Succubus Shadows" is, I think, my least favorite Georgina Kincaid book to date. It's not really bad, but compared to previous installments it is rather dull, it is not a supernatural mystery, as previous installments were, but supernatural chick lit/melodrama.
Georgina is depressed and down most of the time. She is compelled to help Maddie to plan her wedding with Seth, the man she loves. On top of it, a new visiting succubus in town is trying to seduce Seth and taint his s More...

Reading it again in preparation for the sixth book. Observations this time around? Georgina is a major hypocrite and not nearly as likeable as I remember her to be. Also, Richelle Mead needs to figure out how to write a less-selfish character.
Rose Hathaway = Georgina Kinkaide
Also, I sort of hope Seth dies. (Actually, I don't sort of hope it. I totally hope he dies. I hate Richelle Mead for writing a such a despicable set of lovers)

Richelle Mead is one of my favourite authors and this book did not disappoint. This book had it all. It was witty, humorous, had a great love story, action and twists and turns.
The writing in this book is fast paced so I easily read this within 24 hours. The character are well written and I love Georgina even more in this book. I found I liked Seth more as well than I have in the last couple which is good because I think he is going to play a major part in Georgina getting her More...

::Big gusty sigh::
SPOILERS AHEAD
Seriously?
This book was boring. Not only did Georgina whine and pine throughout the entire thing, she didn't really have anything else to focus on other than Seth. Even when she was in the "dream realm" with the wonder twins she kept dreaming of Seth or her past which ties into Seth. So basically the book was really about her feelings for Seth. Even the business with the contract is about Seth! Seth, More...

This book just about killed me. It's brilliant. I felt like this book was almost one big crescendo. I cannot even believe we have to wait another year. GAH!

When I started out reading this series I really loved Georgina. I'm not quite sure how I feel about her now…
Sure, Georgina is likeable but -eventhough she seems very altruistic and angelic for a hellish creature- she is actually quite self centered. She’s got the Rachel Morgan "woe is me, but in the mean time I’m the hottest thing on earth"- vibe going on.
Mead has a way of making her characters seem ir-re-sis-ti-ble to everyone. Same with Eugenie from Thorn Queen. Everybo More...

Dear Miss Mead,
If I'd purchased the paper back instead of the ebook I would have burnt it. I've never encountered such a dimwitted main character before. I fear I have now developed Tourrettes.
God. Damn.

Thoughts:
Is it me, or does Georgina get whiter and whiter with these covers. No, I'm not talking pale. White. As in clown white. Scratch that, this is mime white, I feel like she's going to put her hands up to imaginary glass and do that creepy thing mimes do.
The covers may be degenerating over time, but Succubus Shadows picked up nicely from the last one. After the affair, I wasn't sure how Mead would make me get sucked back in. She did though, and this is the big turni More...

After five books, I find that I no longer like or have any sympathy for either the heroine or the hero and cannot face the thought of another book full of sickly sweet soliloquys about how lovely and wonderful Seth is and how cute he looks in his quirky t-shirts with his messy hair, which one might expect from a love-sick pimply teenager but not from a millenia old denizen of hell, for crying out loud. In fact, I could barely drag myself through this last instalment, skipping whole chunks and pa

This book was freaking awesome. I loved it. Couldn't put it down, not for a single second.
I must say again that the world Richelle Mead has created is different from everything out there, so original.
I know it's weird but I think that what makes this series so amazing is Georgina. I just love to see a sex demon so concern about doing good to others and having so much happening to her. I love that the most moral person in the series is the one who shouldn't be. I think G More...

Having been brutally let down by Mead’s Vampire Academy series, I was afraid to read this installment of Succubus. I still loved Georgia, though there was no love lost for Seth. He could have died in this installment for all I cared, though I knew he would not. But as Mead has so willingly proven, she isn’t afraid to destroy her characters in order to add length to her series, and just as I feared, she butchered Georgia.

This had a little slow start but once it picked up I really enjoyed it. I'm torn with my rating. On one hand the beginning was so slow that I want to rate it lower, and the underling theme of Sad Georgina with the on and off again Seth was still there. But the story line was good and I really enjoyed everything minus Seth. So I rated it based on that, minus the Seth drama.

So much going on in this book that you don't mind it at all! Everything, I mean everything was great!...well except for 2 certain someones who dies and will be dying. From Seth leaving Maddie, Georgina and her truth/lies dreams, 1 Certain someone dies and what the certain someone tells Georgina, Maddie finding out(felt so bad for her), 2nd certain someone dying...did NOT see that coming, Roman's *sigh* feelings for Georgina and the last chapter. This book got me hooked and I hate waiting for the

SPOILERS AHEAD ---Don’t read if you don’t want to get upset with me.
It’s 2am on a Thursday morning, and I am utterly frustrated after finishing yet another Richelle Mead mind boggling novel after recently finishing Iron Crowned. I am totally sick of Georgina, and wish she would evaporate somehow and go away. Seriously!

Loved, loved, LOVED the latest installment of Georgina Kincaid! Mead did a fantastic job of making the story flow, keeping the reader engaged and emotionally drawn into the story, but also keeping the reader wanting more as there was always something new at each turn of the page.
Georgina is developing beautifully as a character...learning from her flaws and trying to overcome those mistakes previously made (often times repeatedly). Seth is doing the same. For those who have read the More...

Succubus Shadows was basically this series Blood Promise. (Protagonist gets stuck somewhere and becomes so boring that the only parts that are remotely interesting are the parts that happen while watching the other characters.) Seriously, this book was a bit dull. I skimmed quite a lot and yet I still couldn't help but notice what a heavy hand Mead was using. We get it Mead, Seth and Georgina are fated to be together. They're like two halves of the same person and therefore require two contract

"Grudgingly accepting that the man I loved was going to marry one of my best friends was one thing. Helping them plan their wedding was an entirely different matter."
Ugh, I feel like puking every time Maddie talks about Seth, not to mention now marrying him....Ugh.

So the final Succubus book # 6 has been out for a wile but I have NO wish at all to end the Series. I grieve how was it possible - to spoil it so much((
I loved the beginning of it, and even had some HOPE that everything can be fixed after what Seth had done in book 3 (hay, anyone can error, right?)
but the spineless worm Seth has turned into disgusted me so much there is just NO way I would finish the Series.

My Review:
This was a GOOD book! I felt like this book showed a LOT of character development and maturity for Georgina. She spends about 20% of this book trapped in a hell of dreams where she can't tell what is real or lies. Everything in this time comes to her as dreams. Some of the dreams are dreams of her past, some are dreams of events that are happening while she has disappeared, and some are dreams of things that are being made-up. The madness comes in that she can't tell which is whic More...

Fifth in the Georgina Kincaid urban fantasy series revolving around a succubus who has fallen in love with her favorite author.
The Story
Some things are working out for Georgina. Her condo is great even if her roommate is a bit of a pain. It's even more of a pain when she learns how he really feels about her…it was so much easier when he simply wanted to kill her. But all the excitement about Seth and Maddie's wedding, a visiting succubus who seems to have it in for Seth, her disco More...

Yet another incredible book given to us by Richelle Mead. I am amazed at how much power is in it, how much love, how much pain, longing for an impossible dream. In this book we truly meet Georgina Kincaid, we see her past, all the nightmares she's lived trough.
However I have to agree with some of the comments below that it wasn't as energetic as the previous books. Most of the time Georgie was locked up and that's what led to the memories but she's always the one to take action and that w More...

Oh where to start, where to start? This was a different sort of Georgina Kincaid book. Yes, she has her usual situations. Seth is still there, Jerome, Carter, Hugh, Peter, Cody and Roman. As well as Eric, and a few of the other regulars.
In this book we learn more of Georgina's past, and of course like all of ours it wasn't always pretty. Of course loyal readers know the hows and whys of Georgina and how she became a succubus but Ms Mead delved even further into Georgina's past.

I believe that this may be my favorite book of the Georgina Kincaid series. This is my second time reading it as I now prepare to read the final installment of the series to see if all of my theories about Georgina and Seth and eternal contracts are correct. In this book Georgina finds herself in the horrible position of being a future bridesmaid for Maddie in her future marriage to Seth, the love of Georgina's life. What a horrible position to be in! But once again Georgina shows the inhere
