Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead
3.0
I picked up the second Succubus book on special for $4 a few years ago and hadn't gotten around to buying the first. I was interested but not driven to get it.
The thing I really, really dislike about Georgina: her ability to be a slave to he emotions and not to see that men will love her no matter what. Duh! You're a Succubus!
The thing I liked about Georgina: her quick wit, average intelligence, and the guilt she's still carrying from when she made the deal.
I somewhat enjoyed this book. It was definitely a page turner but the Succubus thing seemed to be there just so men would swarm around without a real reason and so Mead could write in some sex. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about a few sex scenes but for the sake of plot I don't really need it in high detail if it's not important. I didn't think it was a gratuitous sex book. I've got those. I wanted more substance.
Georgina is a bitch to the males in her life. Seriously, if there were a female pulling that kind of shit near me I'd slap her and tell her to stop being a bitch. Just because you can pull the guys doesn't mean you need to turn them down so lamely. Surely a Succubus has had a bit of practice? Anyone would think she just randomly woke up a Succubus.
I will read the others. I'll be glad to see Georgina actually put effort into her duty in the coming books.
