Have you ever wanted more about Georgina? We’ve had the flashback to her decision to trade her soul to erase her from the memories of others’, but in Succubus Shadows we get to relive pivotal moments in her life. And while memory after memory can overwhelm one at times, when you come out the other side you’ll understand Seattle’s succubus much better.

Georgina and Seth finally got a taste of what it could be like to be together — in the Biblical sense — in Succubus Heat. But when Georgia’s powers returned, she decided to call it off. In his guilt, Seth proposed to Maddie. So, now we have Georgina wishing things were different, trying to figure out how to fix the dark mark on Seth’s soul due to him cheating on Maddie and, oh yeah, help plan their damn wedding.

Roman is living with her, and as much as he says he hates her, the nephilim doth protest too much. There’s a bit of beauty in bringing Roman back. He’s a good challenge for Georgina. They both want this freedom from what they are, but neither really wants to forgo the immortality perks. Perhaps having good friends saved Georgina from a similar spiral? Maybe it’s just that she’s a succubus and not half angel. Either way, the guy who was a stalker from the first book is now someone you care about. And that’s impressive.

Georgina’s sadness over letting go of Seth, again, have her susceptible to another immortal. No one can find them, but a type of siren song, a promise of peace calls to her. Only to have Georgina in a dream world, where she relives so many moments from her past.

That said, I continue to hold out hope for Seth and Georgina. I promised no spoilers, but the end of Succubus Shadows sets things up to either work out gloriously or fail miserably. And, really, would we have it any other way? Succubus Shadows continues the Georgina Kincaid Emotional Rollercoaster, where we’re thrilled at the promise of love one moment and near tears as it’s ripped away again. And, at this point, Georgina isn’t the only one suffering from romantic woes. Secondary characters have earned my loyalty as well.

Once you finish Succubus Shadows, you’ll be counting down the days until the release of the final book in the series, Succubus Revealed. (It hits shelves on August 30, and, yes, you can pre-order it.)

I have to say I don't usually like filler books, and I do feel like this was a bit of a filler book, but I love this series so much that it really didn't matter. I like how Richelle Mead shows you where the characters will probably end up but they never get there the way you think they will. I can't wait to see how this series ends. ...more

I love this series, Ms. Mead pulls no punches and doesn't hold back anything. The characters are very well rounded and deep. Richelle runs Georgina through hell in each book and this one is no exception, you truly understand in each book that Georgina is a tortured soul and even though she is a very likable character you come to understand that being a succubus isn't all fun and games. ...more
