Hello
happy readers. I hope you all had an amazing weekend. I am approaching the end of this series and I have enjoyed each of the books and how they build on one another. That said here are my thoughts on book 5 of the Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead: Succubus Shadows. I have reviewed the
previous titles: Succubus Blues, Succubus on Top, City of Demons & Succubus Dreams, Succubus Heat.
Rating: 5 Stars
So
we left off with Georgina and Seth having been together for a brief bit while
boss man was MIA and her powers were gone.
It was beautiful and painful all at once because of Maddie. He was in a relationship and they both cared
for her. Still nothing could keep them
apart. Without her powers they thought
he’d be safe but they both missed the most important part…years off his life
were saved but his soul was darkened by his cheating which is even worse. Feeling guilty over everything and after
Georgina pushed him back towards Maddie Seth proposed and now Georgina is in a
deeper pit of hell helping plan the wedding of the man she loves and her best
friend. Oh and a new succubus in town
visiting has her eyes set on Seth as well.
But with Georgina all of that is never enough as she still has her
roommate who she once kind of loved before she found out he was killing fellow
immortals and a mysterious force visiting her thoughts draying her into another
realm. Hell might not be the worst place one can go after all.
Okay
so I took some time between book 4 and this because I had some other books I
needed to finish by deadlines and I know how all-consuming this would be. I have been so invested and so into these
books it is insane. I feel like I am
running a marathon at times my heart is racing so fast as I listen worried for people’s
lives and souls and love. Oh the
emotional roller coaster. I am all over
the place. As I type this review I am downloading
the final book from the cloud onto my device so I can dive right back in and
see how things end. Because Succubus Shadows was amazing. It was everything and more. I don’t even know how to wrap this up in a
coherent way. But here I go.
The
whole dynamic between Georgina, Seth, and Maddie broke my heart at every
page. It was so hard because Maddie is
such a good person. I wanted her to have
her happiness but I also want there to be a way for Seth and Georgina to be
together but with them all being friends no matter what someone will be
hurt. It sucks. The web woven and the despair felt was
intense for me while listening. When the
dreams started both real and fake it was so emotional. I was lost in this book for sure. I was both fascinated with some of the past
lives and stories and horrified at others.
The line between very thin.
Of
course the side characters were always there and fun to watch as they continue
to develop from a crush and romance advice for fellow immortals to medical issues
of mortals. Everything was very grounded
and developed for me and I can’t believe I listened to 90% of it in one
sitting. I hardly remembered to drink
anything. This series is addicting to me
and I love it. The end of this book had
both hard points and happy ones. Good
and bad. I did cry at work again because
I have no control over my emotions apparently but it was worth it. This series has really captured me and I am
off now to start the final book in the series and hope that all of this emotion
has a happy place in the end.
Until
next time…
