Succubus Heat by Richelle Mead

Rating : 4 / 5

Goodreads : Georgina Kincaid has been a bad, bad succubus...
…which should be a good thing. But lately, thanks to her foul mood over breaking up with bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, she’s been so wicked that Seattle’s über-demon Jerome, decides to “outsource” Georgina to a rival—and have her spy for him in the process.
Being exiled to the frozen north—okay, Vancouver—and leaving Seth in the cozy clutches of his new girlfriend is unpleasant enough. Then Jerome is kidnapped, and all immortals under his control mysteriously lose their powers. One bright spot: with her life-sucking ability gone, there’s nothing to keep Georgina from getting down and dirty with Seth—nothing apart from his girlfriend that is. Now, as the supernatural population starts turning on itself, a newly mortal Georgina must rescue her boss and figure out who’s been playing them—or all hell will break loose…


My review : Succubus Heat is the fourth book in the series. I'm a huge fan of Richelle Mead so I love reading all her books. I read the first three books in this series last summer and I decided to keep reading it after reading the Vampire Academy Guide (which is another series by Richelle Mead). I enjoyed reading this book because I really like this series and especially its character and I missed them. These books are filled with action,suspence, mixed with mythology and folklore and that's what I love in Richelle's books.But I must confess that even if I liked this one it was not as great as the other first three and that's why I give 4 stars instead of 5. We're meeting Georgina again 3 months after her break up with Seth and this book is all about her darker self, still struggling with this break up and then followed with Georgina losing her abilities (like she said) after Jerome is kidnapped and becoming a "human" again. Now talking about the characters Seth is just the perfect guy !!! He is a writer, he is intelligent, shy but brave, generous and tender. And his cellphone ringtone is Where the street have no name my favorite U2 songs !!! Yes I know i'm crazy... Even if he is perfect I wasn't really into his relationship with Georgina. Well don't get me wrong their couple was awesome in the other books but in this book he annoyed me a little. And I was a little uneasy... Maggie don't deserve him ! On the other hand Georgina is with Dante now and I didn't really like their relationship. But I was happy to see Georgina's friends again : Cody, Peter, Hugh... The characters that i'm interrested the most in are Carter and... Ramon. I was so happy to see him back finally ! I was waiting for this since the first book. I really can't wait to know more about these two and i'm sure that i'm going to love the next one since I know that Ramon will be in it a lot at least I hope so! About the end another thing that I love/hate with Richelle Mead she always opens new actions and questions at the end and I always want to read the next book as fast as I can.
