Souljacker (Lily Bound #1) Yasmine Galenorn Published: Mar. 7, 2016 (Diversion) Purchase: Book Depository or Amazon Review source: copy provided by publisher or author in exchange for an honest review Reviewed by: Margaret Rating (out of 5): 4 stars Does anyone else miss Lost Girl? Yasmine Galenorn may have just the thing to fill that void. Souljacker features a succubus, Lily O’Connell, living in the... 
I love the supernatural. And I’m not just talking about the television show with the two hot brothers (although, how can you not love Jensen Ackles?) called Supernatural. Paranormal creatures are fascinating to read and write about. Vampires, werewolves, witches—what’s not to love? Of all the magical beasties out there in book land, I find succubi and incubi among the most interesting paranormal creatures... 
I realize many of my favorite books — and recommended series — may not have their first few books reviewed on VBC. I’d like to get everyone caught up. In the coming weeks, I’m going to try and get reviews up-to-date on series from two of my favorite authors: Richelle Mead for her Georgina Kincaid series and Jeaniene Frost for Night Huntress. Succubus Shadows (Georgina Kincaid #5) Richelle Mead Published:... 
I realize many of my favorite books — and recommended series — may not have their first few books reviewed on VBC. It goes with the territory of a blog that I review my latest reads, and only get to the others when doing a re-read (like we did for Vampire Academy or for a group read). But I’d like to get everyone caught up. So, in the coming weeks I’m going to try and get reviews up-to-date on series from... 
We always enjoy diving into the Richelle Mead’s writing, and in re-reading her first Georgina Kincaid novel Succubus Blues for the April group read we remembered why this series is so fun. Georgina is Mead’s heroine who really wants to be normal. She wants to love. And meeting Seth all over again? Oh, we loved it. And we want to talk about all that, plus Roman (!), the crew at the bookstore and a certain... 
Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid #1) Richelle Mead Published: 2007 (Zebra/Kensington) Purchase at: Book Depository or Amazon Rating (out of 5): 4 stars The Georgina Kincaid series is Richelle Mead’s lightest work, in terms of tone. Often witty with plenty of laughs, Succubus Blues will still bring you to the edge with coiled intensity. Georgina Kincaid is a succubus. Her immortal life is sustained by...
As my affinity for all novels written by Richelle Mead is well-documented, let’s lead this off with reminding everyone that I don’t pick our group reads. Each month we put up a poll with six options (three adult titles and three YA) and leave it up to you guys. What can we say, you guys have good taste. The April group read is the first novel in the Georgina Kincaid series, Succubus Blues. While Succubus... 
This may be my favorite of all our character love letters this month. Jill Myles has a way of making you laugh while devouring the dark, smexy details of her The Succubus Diaries series. The latest novel My Fair Succubi (our review) finds our heroine Jackie’s best friend — and fellow succubus — getting a little attached to the a part-angel enforcer. He gets off on doing good deeds, and yet Remy is out to... 
My Fair Succubi (Succubus Diaries #3) Jill Myles Published: Dec. 28, 2010 (Pocket) Purchase at: Book Depository or Amazon Rating (out of 5): 4 stars Note: If you have not read the previous Succubus Diaries novels, we suggest you read our review for the first novel Gentlemen Prefer Succubi as we’ll be including spoilers from the previous novels in this review. However, if you’ve read books one and two,... 
Gentlemen Prefer Succubi (The Succubus Diaries #1) Jill Myles Published: 2009 (Pocket) Purchase at: Book Depository or Amazon Rating (out of 5): 4.5 stars Jackie woke up in a dumpster with a homeless guy claiming the only reason he took her purse was she was dead. For a day. The formerly frumpy museum docent (a.k.a. tour guide) finds herself transforming into sexual catnip. Struggling with her new need...
