Editor's Notes and Comments:
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 acess 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...
'What an incredible debut novel! Succubus Blues is exciting, witty, sexy, intriguing and had me captivated from the very first page.' --Cheyenne McCray, author of Seduced by Magic

This book is supposed to be about a irresistable succubus who can shape-shift and seduce any man she wants and is required to by her demon handler. All she does throughout the entire book is whine about it and avoid every attractive man she meets. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of being a succubus? Isn't she supposed to seduce men to steal their souls or life force on a regular basis? Wouldn't her demon handler object if she didn't? Isn't a succubus supposed to be evil? Overall the book is a complete bore, including the subplot about a murderer of immortals, which takes forever to develop. I'm really getting tired of these writers who are really writing adolescent romance novels under the guise of fantasy, horror or science fiction. They don't seem to know a thing about demons or romance. By the way, who says a mere mortal couldn't kill an immortal? Why not? Granted, it wouldn't be easy, but a wizard or witch or a very smart, knowledegeable mortal should be able to do it. For some reason, which is never made clear in this book, the writer claims that it isn't possible. Then why are humans considered so valuable to immortals? Do yourself a favor. Skip this writer and these books. She has no idea what she's doing.

I bought this book because the synopsis caught my interest. And after reading it, I was pleasantly surprised just how much I liked these characters! I believe that is Mead's strength- her characters. It's a paranormal 'Friends' series that includes vamps, angels & demons in one dysfunctional 'family'. You empathize with the unlikely heroine Georgina, as well as her more unlikely choice for a boyfriend. And let's not forget the steamy hotness of much needed Succubus sex! Be warned, if you start with Succubus Blues, plan to continue reading this series as it will grip around your heart & won't let go...

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 subsequent two overnighted.

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 very first in order to know what's going on. This very 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.

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.
