LOVE The series.. I devoured this book in a matter of a couple of sittings.

In this 3rd installment, There were several plotlines going on in this book: the main one being centered around strange dreams Georgie is having. She keeps waking up completely drained of her life energy. Upon trying to figure out what or who is causing all this chaos, we learn more about Erik and his so called friend: Dante. Theres also a few new Angels in this book also trying to solve the mystery of all the chaos in the city, but they are somehow linked to Georgina's vivid dreams. We also get to meet Tawny, G's new apprentice succubus, who is basically a walking dumb blonde joke. While Georgie's life is spinning out of control, her relationship with Seth finally meets it's breaking point. There was a few twists and turns at the end that i totally didnt see comming. And I cant wait to start the next book. I would say this is the strongest of the 3 Ive read so far.

If you like paranormal, romance, mystery, erotica, and action, this is a great series for a fan of all these genres. I will say this book can stand alone, but its better to read them in order to understand the backround info on all the characters. Well worth every penny to buy it in the book stores!

"What?!?
Where was my "sure thing?" I've loved this series, but near the end it took a turn. Without giving any spoilers away, I'm really disappointed in one of the main characters, and it changed how I felt about the book.
*sigh*"

This is the third book in the Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead. While I enjoyed this book, I didn't find it as compelling as the second book was. The side characters introduced in this book also weren't as engaging as those introduced in the second book and I really missed Bastien.

In this book Georgina keeps having really vivid dreams the night after she takes a victim; the dreams leave her incredibly drained of life force. As if this oddity isn't bad enough the demon who owns the contract for her soul brings in a succubus named Tawny for Georgina to apprentice. Georgina is trying to cope with all of this and it is creating a stress on her relationship with Seth.

I didn't like this book as much as the last one; I thought Georgina was a bit unfocused through parts of the book. Also the side characters didn't grab me and hold my interest like Bastien did. It seemed like a lot of this book was focused on Georgina's struggles with her daily life, more than any big investigation. Having a bunch of angels in the book was interesting but they flitted in and out of the story so quickly that I didn't think they were developed into characters all that well. I thought Tawny's character was annoying and somewhat unnecessary. My biggest problem was with the ending. I won't give anything away but I thought that multi-book build up between Georgina and Seth was poorly and quickly treated at the end of the book (if you read the book you will know what I mean).

The things I did like were the interludes that told stories from Georgina's past. These short glimpses into Georgina's former aliases were griping, very interesting, and bittersweet. I also liked meeting the demon who took Georgina's soul. I found it very intriguing that Carter again hinted that Georgina's contract with hell might not be exactly what she thinks it is; this is a theme continued from the second book. I also liked the inclusion of Dante as a supporting character; he is somewhat interesting and I hope his role is bigger in future books.

The overall theme of this series seems to be Georgina's struggle against her contract for her soul and I am intrigued to see where this over arcing story leads. I was somewhat disappointed that the mystery and characterization wasn't as engaging as the second book. It was still a good read though and I look forward to the next book; I am still wishing these books had more action in them. They remind me a lot of the Kitty Norville series in their level of action.

I think this is the best in the series so far eventhough it is sad and the ending about tore my heart out. Georgina Kincaid is reluctantly mentoring another succubi who is totally clueless about seduction and hell, even men. An old enemy comes to town - the own who stole Georgina's soul - and causes all kinds of havoc in Georgina's love life. Even Nix - the arch demon of chaos - brings a special kind of hell to Seattle. Georgina sure can get into trouble. The quasi-relationship with Seth is both strange and endearing and when it goers bad, heart-wrenching. I can't wait for [book:Succubus Heat|5148720] to see where Georginia, Seth and Carter go from here.

While well written, I nearly stopped reading books by this author after this book. She gets you so engaged with her characters that when the author does something you don't agree with, it can be overly frustrating. I think Ms. Mead likes to toy with her readers.
