Succubus Shadows by Richelle Mead

Succubus Shadows (Georgina Kincaid, #5)

by Richelle Mead

Georgina Kincaid has formidable powers. Immortality, seduction, shape-shifting into any human form she desires, walking in heels that would cripple mere mortals - all child's play to a succubus like her.
Helping to plan her ex-boyfriend's wedding is a different story. Georgina isn't sure which is worse - that Seth is marrying another woman, or that Georgina has to run all over Seattle trying on bridesmaid dresses. Still, there are distractions. Georgina's roommate, Roman, is cluttering her apartment with sexual tension. Then there's Simone, the new succubus in town, who's intent on corrupting Seth.
But the real danger lies in the mysterious force that's visiting her thoughts, trying to draw her into a dark, otherworldly realm. Sooner or later, Georgina knows she'll be too weak to resist. And when that happens, she'll discover who she can trust, who she can't...and that Hell is far from the worst place to spend eternity.

Happens in Seattle

  • Succubus Shadows was intense with reveals, dark mysterious anger that made me. * shiver* There are far worst things then Demons who contract your soul.

  • Daily Crap in the life of Georgina- She is struggling dealing with Seth and balancing her friendship with Maddie. I cringed when Georgina had to go looking for bridesmaid dresses and Maddie’s wedding dress. Mead managed to pull at my heartstrings and make me laugh with the snark. A visiting succubus has her eyes on Seth and witnessing Georgina confront her reaffirmed how wickedly cool and badass she is.

  • The storyline- Wow, a lot of stuff went down as move towards the end of the series. Death, danger, twists and reveals had my emotions all over the place. I am at the point now where I need to know. One of the things I love about Mead is that she has all of these threads and she keeps them balanced, feeding them to me until I am completely addicted.

  • The danger Georgina finds herself caught up in was creepy and the different stories that emerged from it shed light on Georgina’s past and hinted at things to come.

  • The romance- Seth and Georgina interact a lot, and woozier the things we witness and hints that are dropped have me curious and hoping. We see Seth face his demons, as Georgina pulls back and t had me wondering if we will ever get the resolution I need want.

  • The gang is present and involved in the core threads. It is obvious they care for Georgina. We lose a character and with it gain another clue. Carter continues to baffle me, I am certain he is very important aside from the fact that I adore him. I loved the side stories with folks at the bookstore as they added humor and a bright light when things get to dark. Man I really I feel for Roman, it is obvious he cares deeply for Georgina and part of her would like to create a life with him, but the heart has other opinions.

  • The ending had me rewinding and listening again. OMG what is this fuckery! Of course, this led me to bumping Succubus Revealed up to my next listen. As soon as I finished this, review its mine all mine!
