Succubus Dreams by Richelle Mead

4.0

!!!!!Mildly spoiler-ish!!!!!

Holy s--t! can somebody hand me a tissue box? The ending was crushing and brutal. Totally didn't see that coming, although I really should have. I guess I was mainly thinking that this was a HEA type of series. But I totally get why it has to be done. Mead seems like an author that prefers a happy ending, so I'm still holding out for the joyful catharsis. I really, really hope though that it comes before the last book in the series, and I have no idea how many books will be in this series.

I usually get really frustrated with the whole parallel between past and future element that a lot of stories contain because the past is a tragedy and I DREAD tragedies! However, I get the feeling that Mead is promising a break in the repetition of Georgina's history by observing that there was ever a looping pattern to events in her life in the first place.

Side rant: Why oh why do third books in series always have to be so anguishing! I've read a couple of third books in series recently, and they all contained THE pivotal twist in the series that, yes, thickens the plot and creates more and nastier problems for the main character, but also twists my insides to--to I don't even know how to describe it! Gosh! Okay maybe I should just lay low on reading such emotional series for a while.
