Pub: 2007, Transworld publishing, a random house group
Author: Richelle Mead
Cat: paranormal mystery
Format: paperback (s); 477pp w/ 27 chapters
Age Range: adult

        Synopsis
Succubus (n.) An alluring, shape-shifting 
demon who seduces and pleasures mortal men.
Pathetic (adj.) A succubus with great shoes 
and no social life. See: Georgina Kincaid

When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they can often pay with their souls, but why get technical?

But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid’s life is far less exotic. Her boss is a middle-management demon with a thing for John Cusack movies, and she can’t get a decent date without sucking away part of the guy’s life. At least there’s her day job at a local bookstore—free books: all the white chocolate mochas she can drink: and easy access to bestselling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, aka He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can’t.

But dreaming about Seth will have to wait. Something wicked is at work in Seattle’s demon underground. And for once, all her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners won’t help because Georgina’s about to discover there are some creatures out there that both heaven and hell want to deny....
