Product Description

Product Description
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 can 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 the 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 access 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...

4.0 out of 5 stars Four and a Half Stars, 3 Mar 2007
By Lesley70 - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Succubus Blues (Paperback)
Georgina Kincaid is a succubus, living in Seattle, working by day in a bookstore whilst at the same time trying to squeeze in her otherworldly duties. However, there are more deadly things at play in Seattle as Georgina is about to discover.

Sometimes you read the first page of a book and you just know you're in for a wonderful read. Succubus Blues takes us into the life of the working demon and makes it real. It shows how the road to hell can be paved with good intentions, and illustrates how the concepts of good and evil are ambiguous.

As it's written in the first person we are immediately drawn into Georgina's world; which is so like our own. She has her friends (Hugh the imp, Cody her vampire dancing partner) and her enemies, and she has to please her boss - Jerome the archdemon.

Georgina is a witty and self-deprecating protagonist and as we get to know her through the course of the story we become aware of her sadness as well. She is a succubus with all that entails, and although there are romantic elements to this story, I would classify it as urban fantasy rather than romance. The life of the succubus is not glamorised, and although there are sexual situations, the sex scenes when they take place are not gratuitous. Indeed given the subject matter you may have expected more.

There is a lack of strong female secondary characters but given Georgina's nature perhaps this is not surprising. And the male characters more than make up for this - Seth, the shy, reserved writer, who Georgina not so secretly hero-worships; Hugh, Peter and Cody - her friends; and the surprising double act of Jerome (the local archdemon) and Carter (the angel) who, whenever they appear, steal the scene. You really feel you're gaining an insight into the lives of these `evil' immortals, and at the end of the story it's hard to say whether any of them are intrinsically evil or good - they are all just trying to do the best they can.

According to the excerpt at the back, we can expect the next Georgina Kincaid novel in January 2008. I can't wait. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Succubus Blues - Not Here, 18 Aug 2007
By Ms. J. Braggs (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Okay, so, the title made me want to read it because it tickled my sense of the ridiculous. The novel itself is so easy to read the characters jump off the pages almost as fully formed as you could need. If you were looking for an indepth treatise into the demon hierachy you won't find it here, what you will find however, is a romping good read, with characters you will care about and a sense of humour rather akin to the darker sides of Buffy. I loved this and nearly "devoured" it in one go, and I'm certainly looking forward to more novels from this world. The demons and angels all have their alternate "sides" and amalgamate into the human world with varying degrees of success. Georgina Kinkaid is a modern heroine/demon who fits just right, sometimes she gets it right but when she gets it wrong... watch out!!

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!, 9 Jul 2008
By Ms. Sneha Pednekar (LDN, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A brilliant book, that puts u quickly quite comfortably in the shoes of Georgina, making you connect with her and also care about her.
The humour is quick and sharp, and although Georgina is quite old, myself as a teenager could relate to her very easly.
Mead makes you understand Georgina's way of life without confusing you with the laws of morality and affairs of heaven and hell.
