Proceed With Caution:
This book contains kidnapping, murder, and mentions of human trafficking and rape.
The Basics:
This is the second book of the series, but it stands alone. I would recommend reading Banshee Charmer first anyway, because that's where he meet Marisol and get Elaine's backstory. We also learn more about succubus abilities than we do in this novella.
My Thoughts:
While I did enjoy Succubus Lost, it has the same issue as the previous book. The romance is, again, very much in the background and then about 60% in, it's almost like the author just squeezed in a sex scene to have a romantic element. I have no issue with reading a Paranormal Mystery. In fact, I do really like them. I'd much rather have that than a half-assed, forced Paranormal Romance.
In Succubus Lost, we're following Marisol, another Chicago detective. Although, this time she is a succubus and it's her younger sister who has gone missing. Of course, a sexy man from the super secret supernatural agency has to show up to help with the case. He's more of a prop than anything, as he doesn't really do anything useful except for telling Marisol about the related cases that he's been investigating. He also just happens to be the right type of paranormal creature to give her insider information.
Succubus Lost was a fun, quick read. There's nothing really wrong with it except for the lackluster romance, which ends with "I love you"s despite Marisol and Val only knowing each other for a couple of days. It was a pleasant way to spend two hours, but it won't leave a lasting impression.
