annathepiperWell, this was a lot of fun!
Succubus on Top is Book 2 of the series starring succubus Georgina Kincaid, who continues to amuse the hell (aheh) out of me as possibly the most ethical succubus who ever lived. In this installment, we have Georgina having to investigate mysterious goings-on with friends and fellow employees at the bookstore, helping out her incubus pal Bastien with his latest mission--seducing a right-wing talk show host--and, of course, trying to figure out how exactly to handle her relationship with author Seth Mortensen when she can't risk putting her hands on him.
I think I actually liked this book better than Book 1 in several ways. Seth is more assertive than he is in the first story, which plays off quite fetchingly against his intrinsic decency--and he has refreshingly non-stereotypical reactions to a couple of curveballs Georgina winds up having to throw him through the course of this plot. It's fun as well to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blue_succubus's take on an incubus, and in particular some of the backstory that defines Bastien's and Georgina's history as pertinent to the plot. I figured out where the subplot with seducing the talk show host was going about halfway through the book, but this wasn't a bad thing; it actually let me wind up feeling a bit for the poor woman by the end, which I think was part of the point. And I'm very amused by the (aheh) workaround that Georgina and Seth find to their relationship dilemma by the end of the story--and how the most effective sexual scenes in this series continue to be the ones that leave the best bits to your imagination.
All in all, highly enjoyable, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing if certain suspicions I'm harboring about Seth play out in future volumes. For this one, four stars.
