Georgina Kincaid has been a bad, bad succubus. . .
. . .which should be a good thing. But lately, thanks to her foul mood over breaking up with bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, she's been so wicked that Seattle's über-demon Jerome, decides to "outsource" Georgina to a rival--and have her spy for him in the process.
Being exiled to the frozen north--okay, Vancouver--and leaving Seth in the cozy clutches of his new girlfriend is unpleasant enough. Then Jerome is kidnapped, and all immortals under his control mysteriously lose their powers. One bright spot: with her life-sucking ability gone, there's nothing to keep Georgina from getting down and dirty with Seth--nothing apart from his girlfriend that is. Now, as the supernatural population starts turning on itself, a newly mortal Georgina must rescue her boss and figure out who's been playing them--or all hell will break loose. . .
Praise for Richelle Mead and her Succubus series. . .
"Richelle Mead delivers sexy action and tongue-in-cheek hellish humor--if damnation is this fun, sign me up!" --Lilith Saintcrow, author of The Devil's Right Hand
"This is one of those series I'm going to keep following." --Jim Butcher, New York Times bestselling author
"The mix of supernatural mystery, romance, and reluctant succubus is great fun." --Locus
"Mead cooks up an appetizing debut that blends romantic suspense with a fresh twist on the paranormal, accented with eroticism." --Booklist
In Succubus Heat, our good succubus has gone bad. After losing Seth, it’s like Georgina has lost her will to even try. She’s dating Dante, smoking, drinking, and generally being a bitch to everyone around her. It’s gotten so bad that even her demonic boss has had enough of her attitude. First, sending her to therapy, and when that doesn’t work, he loans her out to another demon to take care of a nuisance Satanist cult. In Canada. But while there, Jerome suddenly disappears along with all of his immortals’ abilities.
I love Succubus Heat even more the second time around! Watching Georgina navigate the world as a quasi-mortal kills me! She’s spent so long not having to worry about anything harming her, but now even walking three blocks from her apartment to her job is a struggle. Before she only had to worry about Seth’s mortality, but now she’s very aware of her own. And Seth is as well, and realizes how it had been for her when they were together. It’s all very touching, but nothing lasts forever.
Succubus Heat is just amazing. I can’t say too much without giving anything away, because so much happens! There’s so many twists, turns, and unexpected events. The status quo in Seattle has completely shifted. Everyone is aware that anything could happen at any time. And even though Georgina thought she was doing the right thing in the end, she’s actually caused far more damage than she ever anticipated. It hurts my heart!
