From the Back Cover
Georgina Kincaid’s job sucks. Literally.

Love hurts, and no one knows it better than Georgina Kincaid. If she so much as kisses her new boyfriend, she’ll drain his life force. Georgina is a succubus—a demon who draws her power from men’s pleasure. Admittedly, the shape-shifting and immortality perks are terrific, and yes, Georgina did choose to join the ranks of hell centuries ago. But it seems completely unfair that she can’t get hot and heavy with the one mortal who knows and accepts her for who she is.

It’s not just her personal life that’s in chaos. Doug, Georgina’s co-worker at a local bookstore, has been exhibiting bizarre behaviour, and Georgina suspects that something far more demonic than double espressos is at work. She could use help finding out. However Bastien, an irresistibly charming incubus and her best immortal friend, is preoccupied in the suburbs with corrupting an ultra-conservative talk radio star – and giving Georgina some highly distracting come-hither vibes. Georgina is going to have to work solo on this one – and fast, because soon, Doug’s life won’t be the only one on the line…

Fab, a fun, sexy and well-written romp
Basically, if you enjoyed the first one, you'll love this one too. Once again it's massive fun, well plotted and a quality bit of prose. Plus, of couse, more than a bit sexy - Georgina's love life is as tricky as you'd expect for a succubus, but at the same time it's all incredibly human. Highly recommended. I like the "urban fantasy" genre for its mix of supernatural fun in the modern world, often based around good old-fashioned crime novel plotting, and Richelle Mead is for me about as good as it gets.

Not as good as original but still fun
The second outing for Georgina Kincaid and one that proves that Richelle's Succubus is here to stay with her witty way of looking at the world as a sex demon ensnared by true love. Enthralling, entertaining and downright hilarious in the witism exposed the only thing that does let it down to a certain degree is the descriptness of the sex within its pages. Rather than the way it glossed over a lot in the previous novel and knowing that Georgina is a reluctant Succubi these days, Richelle seemed to take great delight in allowing the reader to get the full uncensored act thrust beneath their eyes as if she was taking a leaf from Laurell K Hamiltons book(s) and going for a certain demographic. Don't get me wrong I still enjoyed the book but when the sex scenes came up I'd have accepted one or two of the pertenant ones but would have preferred to have had the others where she's just absorbing the partners energies glossed over with a discrete veil.

Although that said, the book is hard to put down and the plot extremely well done I just hope that Richelle doesn't try to take on LKH for scene by scene as I feel it would ruin what is quite a light fun Urban Fantasy series.

Enjoyable with twisted ethics
I enjoyed the first in the series (Succubus Blues) so much that I had to read the second and I'll also buy the third (Succubus Dreams). If you enjoy Kelly Armstrong's Otherworld series or Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series then you're sure to relish this series set in contemporary US about Georgina Kincaid, the reluctant succubus and the demon world (and angels too).
No need to explain the plot as it has already been given. This first person series is well written and is slightly different because of the twisted ethics (to survive she must suck the life force from humans in her role as a succubus). Personally I'm a little uncomfortable with Georgina's moral reasoning, although as long as she isn't judging others then it doesn't grate too much (I had great difficulty with the way she judged Roman in the first book). I like the way her relationship with Seth (he's adorable) keeps going and I hope they succeed in future books. One thing I would have liked more of in this second book was the religious background information - there seemed more in the first book and it added depth to the book - so I hope there's plenty in the third.
By the way, congrats to the publisher/amazon for making sure readers know that Succubus Nights and Succubus on Top are the same book.
