As it turns out, it wasn't a terrible book, it wasn't a great book. I would rather label it forgetful-entertaining.
The main issue with "Succubus Blues" is the pervasive chick-lit flavor, which is quite mephitic during the first half of the book. Of course, this is a kind way of saying that I found the first half to be boring, with repetitive mundane, if potentially women-enthralling, tasks. It is amazing how little happens in this section: not before long, I got totally exhausted about yet another date and yet another dance evening.
The refreshing news is that, unlike most of the paranormal adventures, the demarcation between the good and the evil side is quite fuzzy - dare I say, gossamery. I am not talking here about the villains of the book, but about the angels and the demons (along with their subordinates) who all cut loose together. Ms. Mead tries to make a point that, in no matter on which side of the barricade the war may catch someone, each individual has a positive side and a sad story.(less)
