Some days, a girl just can't catch a break...
…especially when the girl in question is Georgina Kincaid, a shape-shifting succubus who gets her energy from seducing men. First there’s her relationship with gorgeous bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, which is unsatisfying on a number of levels. It’s not just that they can’t have sex in case Georgina inadvertently kills him (generally a turn-off for most guys). Lately, even spending time together is a challenge. Seth's obsessed with finishing his latest novel, and Georgina's under demonic orders to mentor the new (and surprisingly inept) succubus on the block.
Then there are the dreams. Someone, or something, is preying on Georgina at night, draining her energy, and supplying eerie visions of her future. Georgina seeks answers from Dante, a dream interpreter with ties to the underworld, but his flirtatious charm only leaves her more confused—especially as the situation with Seth reaches crisis point. Now Georgina faces a double challenge—rein in her out-of-control love life, and go toe-to-toe with an enemy capable of wreaking serious havoc among mankind. Otherwise, Georgina, and the entire mortal world, may never sleep easy again…
I was on vacation for the last two weeks. For those who are wondering I went back to my country Puerto Rico to see family and spend some time taking a sunbath because I really need it. Ok, ok less chitchat and more review. I like to re-read books and I will get entertain for a long time. Raise your hand if you are of those that get bored on the middle of the flight and doesn’t have anything else to do but read -my hand its up- like a good learner I learn from my past mistakes. Please don’t mentioned the last sentence to my hubby, because he will said otherwise.
For those who really know me, and I think already mentioned beforehand, when I really love a book I buy them on paper for my dream library. Let’s leave the library aside *for now*, as you can see about this book it is an old release. What can I say about this book its marvelous, magnificent, wonderful and I can continue describing it. This was one of the books that made me fall harder in love with books. However for the vacation, I took my iPad, because imagine me taking all those books, my husband will literally kill me.
With this books, I felt a love-hate relationship because there were parts where I really love it and others where I didn't. This author put so much passion describing the characters of this series. My main focus is talking about this specific book because for me this one was the home run of the series. What can I said I am very drama queen.
Georgina Kincaid is a succubus who want a normal life, well what woman on the earth doesn’t, but she gave up everything because she *spoiler alert* cheats on her husband. Back on the times, you know women were punished for cheating when men were celebrated for doing it. The feminist in me hated that, but I understand where the author wanted to go with the subject.
Seth, what can I said about him, he is a boring person, or on my country, we will call him “soso” this mean a person who doesn’t do anything to socialize and give something on the relationship. Then they complain about the other person being unfaithful to them.
Georgina was protecting him by having sex so he can have a longer life. She encouraged him to have sex with others. Even though she is going to hate it. What makes my jaw drop on this book was when -OMG I can't even say it- the sister of Doug said she slept with Seth. *Sniffs*. When I was reading about Georgina encouraging her to be more open and less shy, I was the first one slapping like crazy until this. Why, why… on the earth, the author will do something like this. Why not a stranger he slept with, do you know how much it hurts that someone you love sleeps with a friend. I identified with Georgina. Now you understand the hate part on the relationship with this series. Did I mention that I cried so much that I had a runny nose? I am not ashamed to say that to you because I am pretty sure you have cried on a book as well. Please comment below on what books have made you cry so hard that you even have a runny nose. Don’t be ashamed. Since this is my 4 time reading this books so my cry is less but still have some tears. So no one couldn't accuse my husband of mistreatment on the plane. LOL. *Drama Alert* I saw my self for a moment on a viral video on facebook.
There were two more characters I really loved on this serie it was Jerome and Carter. With Carter, I laughed a lot because he is an angel who cheats on games, smoke and drinks. When on the earth will you see an angel doing that? On the other hand Jerome its a demon who really likes his subordinates.
If you haven’t read this books yet, you don't know what you're missing, so buy them now, because you are losing a lot. Please let know what you all think about it. See you next week.
