Georgina Kincaid's job sucks. Literally.
Love hurts, and no
one knows it better than Georgina Kincaid. If she so much as kisses
Seth Mortensen, the shy, sexy, incredibly gifted Seattle writer she's
been dating, she'll drain his life force. Georgina is a succubus-a
demon who draws her power from other men's 
pleasure. Admittedly, the
shapeshifting and immortality perks are terrific, and yes, Georgina did choose to join the ranks of hell centuries ago. But it seems completely unfair that a she-demon whose purpose is seduction can't get hot and heavy with the one mortal who knows and accepts her for who she is.
It's not just her personal life that's in chaos. Doug, Georgina's co-worker at a local bookstore, has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, and Georgina suspects that something far more demonic than double espressos is at work. She could use help finding out, but Bastien, an irresistibly charming incubus and her best immortal friend, is preoccupied with corrupting an ultra-conservative talk radio star-and
giving Georgina some highly distracting come-hither vibes. Georgina is
going to have to work solo on this one-and fast because soon, Doug's
life won't be the only one on the line.
Loved it as much as the first one, for many of the same reasons. These go on the keeper shelf. I actually disagree with the PW review -- I found Bastien and his subplot the weakest part of the story, and the relationship with Seth much more interesting. I also just like Georgina, and seeing her cope with her issues... the opening scene had me laughing out loud, which almost never happens for me with books. Very clever.
