Book Review- Succubus Blues

I just finished reading Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead.

From the back cover:

Succubus (n.) An alluring, shape-shifting demon who seduces and pleasures mortal men.

Pathetic (adj.) A succubus with great shoes and no social life. See: Georgina Kincaid.

When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get technical?

But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid's life is far less exotic. Her boss is a middle-management demon with a thing for John Cusack movies. Her immortal best friends haven't stopped teasing her about the time she shape-shifted into the Demon Goddess getup complete with whip and wings. And she can't have a decent date without sucking away part of the guy's life. At least there's her day job at a local bookstore--free books; all the white chocolate mochas she can drink; and easy access to bestselling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, aka He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can't.

But dreaming about Seth will have to wait. Something wicked is at work in Seattle's demon underground. And for once, all of her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners won't help because Georgina's about to discover there are some creatures out there that both heaven and hell want to deny...

I really enjoyed this book. I had no idea what a succubus was before I read this book, but now I have found a whole new paranormal theme that I will be looking into. This book had the perfect amount of romance, mystery, and humor--the main character could be so sarcastic! I loved this book and can't wait to read the next one in the series.

I rated this book 4/5.

Book Review- Demons are Forever

I finished Demons Are Forever by Julie Kenner tonight.

From the back cover:

It isn't easy when your daughter's figured out that her mom's a demon hunter-and wants to grow up to be just like her.

Or when you suspect your dead husband used the forces of darkness to filch the body of another human. And your living husband isn't the man you married anymore either.

Moreover, Kate's acquired a precious but deadly item that every demon within commuting distance wants. With husband woes playing havoc with her emotions, an ambitious teenage protégée at her heels, and hell to pay, this stay-at-home mom's putting in a lot of overtime.

I had a hard time getting into the first two books in this series, but I really enjoyed this one. This book delved into the mother/daughter relationship between two of the main characters and there was romance. And the last couple of pages made me gasp!

I gave this book a 4/5.

This book also fullfills items for the following challenges:
