Succubus Heat


Title: Succubus Heat
Author: Richelle Mead
Series: Georgina Kincaid (Book 4)
Genre: Paranormal



At the end of Succubus Dreams, Seth and Georgina broke up. I was angry - I couldn't believe that the two decided they couldn't make it anymore. In Succubus Heat Georgina has a new Beau - Dante, a kind of creeper from Succubus Dreams in my opinion. Although, he does seem to get better further into the book - bringing Georgina sweet little gifts and trying to make her life easier. Although in the end he's still a jackass.

Georgina has irritated Jerome by sleeping with her therapist. She was required to see one due to her mopeyness from the breakup with Seth. Even though she appears to have moved on to Dante, she's still not herself.

Jerome sends her to Canada (where some of the references are excellent and hilarious), to help another archdemon with a Satanic Cult. She comes back after a short stint there to find Jerome missing, and her abilities gone (which adds an interesting layer to the story). And it's not only her, her vampire friends come by in the sunlight, because it no longer hurts them.

Come to find out Jerome has been summoned by a Human and is missing. This human has been hiding him somewhere so no one can find him - that not anyone is really looking. All higher beings of Hell are trying to win over the powers that be and take over Seattle now that Jerome is gone. Until either Jerome is back or someone takes his place, Georgina cannot have her powers back.

Georgina likes Jerome on some level and decides to set out to find him and free him.

Another great installment of Georgina's story. There was another little shocker or two in the end that sets up the next book, Succubus Shadows (March 30th) fairly well. I am still slightly upset as to where things are going between Georgina and Seth - but I have secret (not anymore :)) hopes that they end up together in the end anyway.
