J’ai été tellement embarquée dans ce final. Le dernier tome de cette série donne un fin splendide à laquelle je m’attendais quoique peut être pas de cette manière là.
En tout cas il était agréable de suivre les aventure Georgina et Seth. J’ai un pincement au cœur à l’idée que tout soit fini, mais je suis pleinement satisfaite.

This is probably Richelle Mead's most predictable books but the predictability of it doesn't take away from the story because all of the emotions you have been waiting to experience throughout the whole series are there. The happy ending leaves your heart lighter and your face smiling for hours after reading.
I love all of the characters besides the obviously annoying and evil ones and I'm going to be sad to even give those ones up. :(
I think what is so great about this story is that after all her mistakes and heartbreaks that she was one of those people that didn't act like she was all deserving of the good things that she experienced and sacrifices that people mad for that happiness. She was extremely humble and that's what I like most about her.
There are things OF COURSE that I am still wondering about. First and most importantly is WHERE AND WHAT HAPPENED TO ROMAN!? He is one of my favorite characters. He's like the Adrian in this series but he didn't get screwed over AS BAD. I gotta know what happened to him. I'm wondering if there will be a spin off series? How could that information be left unknown?
Other than that this is the perfect ending to the series.

As with all popular genres, what works, what is successful, tends to become a trend. It’s no different with urban fantasy, which, sometimes, follows familiar formulas: a gorgeous, sarcastic, young supernatural Buffy-esque heroine fighting the good fight and snogging various supernatural creatures along the way. Often, with urban fantasy, the focus is on relationships and the uniqueness of the world the main character exists in, rather than plot. As a fan of the genre, the monotony of “trend” can be disappointing. But, sometimes, you come across a great series that breaks the mold. They push past the common, the expected, and focus on a great, intricate plot and the development of the strong characters involved in the novel. For me, such was the case of Richelle Mead’s Georgina Kincaid series.
I discovered Georgina Kincaid about a year ago when I’d read far too many urban fantasy novels about vampires and werewolves and gun, knife or magic wielding Buffy wannabe characters that seemed incapable of staying out of predictable trouble. With Georgina, Mead has created characters that transcend the expected and a plot that has overlapped and developed throughout six well written novels.
Georgina is a succubus who only wants to live her life and forget the sins of her past. It’s that past, in fact, that led her into her immortal life- a deal with the ‘devil’ that allowed those she hurt to forget she ever existed. Initially, everything was fine. Her past shifted from her memory in sporadic spurts until, over the decades, certain men would come her way and make her remember that she wasn’t worthy enough to be loved. And, of course, those relationships would ultimately end in disaster.
In the series finale, Succubus Revealed, we learn that all that heartbreak, all those lost loves and the hardship Georgina has endured, was manufactured by those who wanted to keep her from true happiness (and keep her soul bound to Hell).
The novel begins when Georgina has found some modicum of happiness with her mortal boyfriend Seth Mortensen. Past novels explored their fight toward normality and the sacrifices they made in an effort to be together. But, in Succubus Revealed, those efforts are threatened when Georgina learns she’s been abruptly transferred to Las Vegas, hours away from her friends and the man she loves. But it is the deeper, far more sinister threat conspiring to keep Georgina and Seth’s souls bound for Hell, that carries the greatest threat and reveals the depths of betrayal.
Mead is a master at developing characters that are unexpected and willing to challenge their own safety for what is right. And yes, that means even the most nefarious of supernatural creatures value friendship and love above what is easy and convenient. We experience the heartache and struggle that Georgina endured, but also those individuals who care deeply about her and who are willing to put aside their obligations and sacrifice their lives in order secure her salvation.
In many novels, particularly urban fantasy novels, ease of the expected can be contrived, perhaps predictable. But, what I found most intriguing about Mead’s series is the thematic import of forgiveness and redemption. Georgina is a character that has run so far from her past, from the evils she’s visited upon others, that for her, deliverance is impossible. She has convinced herself that love is unattainable and what will become of her is something she will never be able to reconcile. But, she learns that it those friendships, the love she has for others and the sacrifices she’s made that redeems her, that ultimately saves her from an eternity of suffering. Georgina discovers that forgiveness is possible, that despite her failings, she can be happy and that even the worst of circumstances is never is truly impossible.
Above all, with the end of Georgina’s journey, Mead has demonstrated the power of sacrifice and how love surpasses time, how it can truly transform even the very lost. Georgina finds that no one is beyond hope and that when we are willing to forgive ourselves, true freedom is born.

Well this series ended how I thought it would end but not without a few twists in it. I loved her writing style and will miss Georgina Kinkaid as a character. I would love a spin off with Carter or Jerome.
The series ended with a happy ending and I loved it all but I do wish this had been a shorter series. It felt a little dragged out.
I was very disappointed in this book. Georgina seemed so strong in the first book and she just got weaker as the books went on. The book ending was cliche and boring. But she could of ended it more creatively but decided not too.
I love this series. It's def going to go down as one of my favorite light, easy series.
My four-star rating is more for the series in general, so take that as you will. Succubus Revealed is mostly a two-star book that contains a couple of heart-wrenching four-star scenes with five-star characters whom I've grown to love.
I did have some problems with this book, and one of my biggest ones was all of the side trips that were seemingly tied to one another, but were knotted together so haphazardly. Some things got resolved, others didn't. Some side stories made sense and seemed meaningful, while others were throw-aways.
Can someone explain to me why they all went bowling?
::scratches head::
Even though we were hit over the head constantly with "clue-by-fours," there were still some intricacies that I didn't see coming. You know how it's all going to end, but still ... but still. There are a couple of shockers in the end that I think even the most attentive will be surprised by.
Georgina was probably the most likable in this book out of the whole series, and the supporting characters were all fantastic - more so than usual. Carter! Carter. He is such a great character. I want him to have a spin-off, I really do.
I'm content with this one and its ending, although I know some people won't be. I always liked Georgina, I never hated Roman or Seth, and I enjoyed watching the story unfold even though I knew where she was taking things. I'm sad to see the series come to an end, but it's satisfying that she gave it a conclusive ending instead of stringing us along for umpteen books, (some would say the previous book was practically filler and unnecessary, but I digress ...)
I have a hard time abandoning a series regardless of how I feel, but I think if you even remotely enjoyed the previous books and the characters, you owe it to yourself to see how Georgina's story ends. I can't say you'll be happy with the outcome when all is said and done, but you will be glad it's over.
