Succubus Shadows (Georgina Kincaid, Book 5) Review
Georgina Kincaid has a tendency towards the darkness - and it's not just because she's a succubus who draws life from sex. In fact, if you've read the four books previous to this one in Richelle Mead's excellent Succubus series, you've had lots of illustrations of the darkness in Georgina's heart.
In 'Succubus Shadows' we finally learn why.
Most of this book happens in Georgina's head. She's captured early on by a hostile entity and forced to relive her worst memories and nightmares, and left to try to separate truth from lie on her own. Through her memories and fears we learn more about her history and her background than we've ever known. It gives us insight to her character and sets up some pretty big changes for her.
The nice part is that Mead pulls this off without making it feel like a "flashback" while the rest of the story gets put on hold. She balances history and modern-day events nicely, and gives us time with all the characters who share Georgina's life in Seattle. Vampires, demons, angels, and ex-boyfriends are all here, and all have their part to play. Near the end of 'Succubus Shadows,' things happen that are likely to change everything to come. In this story, we begin to see the reasons Georgina is where she is - and what she hopes for.
That's why I keep coming back to this story. The characters are smart and fun to read, and the story take unexpected turns. Things change and develop. Very little can be predicted, which makes me want to see what comes next.
Georgina Kincaid lives in a shadowy world. The shadows of the night are part of her existence, the shadows of the past are always with her, and the shadow of doubt always clouds her heart. But despite it all, she has glimmers of hope - hope that she will see her way through the shadows.
What comes next should be nothing if not interesting - and worth waiting for!

Succubus Shadows (Georgina Kincaid, Book 5) Overview
Georgina Kincaid has formidable powers. Immortality, seduction, shape-shifting into any human form she desires, walking in heels that would cripple mere mortals--all child's play to a succubus like her.
Helping to plan her ex-boyfriend's wedding is a different story. Georgina isn't sure which is worse--that Seth is marrying another woman, or that Georgina has to run all over Seattle trying on bridesmaid dresses. Still, there are distractions. Georgina's roommate, Roman, is cluttering her apartment with sexual tension. Then there's Simone, the new succubus in town, who's intent on corrupting Seth.
But the real danger lies in the mysterious force that's visiting her thoughts, trying to draw her into a dark, otherworldly realm. Sooner or later, Georgina knows she'll be too weak to resist. And when that happens, she'll discover who she can trust, who she can't--and that Hell is far from the worst place to spend eternity. . .

The best in the series yet - hazelwindows - oregon
I feel like this book went more in depth into the character study of Georgia Kincaid than the others have. There was still the quirky humor and the magically smooth writing style, but more telling details about Georgia's past and her deepest fears are revealed. A great read!
