This is may sound like a negative review to some but i definitely don't mean it to...i enjoyed the book very much. For a book that centers around the a mysterious person killing immortals, there is very little action in the book. Usually in this type of book when there is little action it leans heavily on romance. This book did not do this and to me that is a sign of a good writer. This book was very much about the character just interacting with each other. It was very well written i think...i cared about the character and wanted to know as much about them as i could and this book delivered. If you are looking for a book focused on the battle between heaven and hell this is not the book for you. But, if you enjoy a well written character study...i recommend this. ( )

Georgiana Kincaid is a succubus draining the life out of the men at night and working in a bookstore during the day. She can't really have a relationship with anyone because she'll suck the life out of them.

It's a different slant on the paranormal theme and while there were moments where it didn't really work it was mostly a good read. ( )

A pleasant read. My only negative point on it was that it was transparent who the 'bad guy' was to me from early on. ( )

First of all, the book isn't what it may seem from first impression; it is not a novel full of extremely erotic sex scenes (even though there's 2 good ones).

Succubus blues is Richelle Mead's debut novel and let me tell you it is one fine debut! I read this book a few months ago, so I had to chance to read the first 3 books back-to-back and I had a very hard time to put them down.

Georgina has been "reborn" in ancient Greece and after centuries of seducing mortals and sucking their life energy she's kind of blaze. Working as an assistant manager in a book store and navigate through eternity dreaming of love, romance and kids. None of which is possible due to her deal with hell.

Mead built a world where hell is an administrative business, and Georgina is at the bottom of the food chain. Her 2 vampires buddies, an imp and her are the mains demons under Jerome (arch-demon with Johhn Cusack fantasies) control, who is more then friendly with a local angel, Carter.

Trouble starts when some immortals are found heavily beaten up or simply dead and heaven and hell rallies their fire power to eliminate the menace.

As mentioned before the novel isn't really action based (the end is one hell of an ending tho!), you cruise along with Georgina's trouble in her love life, or should I say lack of, you really come to love Mead's characters and feel for them. Kinkaid is one snappy little bitch when she wants to and what could be a very depressing situation turns out to be funny thanks to her sense of humor. ( )

You know that book that's been on your shelf forever that you finally decided to read, and when you're finished with it you think: why didn't I read this sooner? That's what Succubus Blues was for me; an overall engaging, funny, sexy, suspenseful read. I love the world that Richelle Mead has created, and I can't wait to read more! ( )
