I actually think this is a four and a half star book. I love this series. It may be my favorite but them I think that when I read any of my other series too so who knows. Lol.
*****Spoiler Alert!!*****
Georgina and Seth finally did the dirty!! More than once.
Okay spoiler over. Georgina on a downward spiral since the breakup with Seth in the last book. She is doing a booming business, enough so that Jerome has decided to loan her out to a rival demon who needs some help. He is exiling her to cold north, well okay maybe not so cold Vancouver. She is infiltrate a group of "zealots" that are making Cedric look bad.
Jerome disappears and with it the things that make her and the other lessor immortals what they are. The vampires can suddenly go out into the light, Hugh can no longer see auras and Georgina no longer sucks someones soul. The vampires are thrilled being able to go out in the sunlight. Hugh is not happy he misses his abilities. And Georgina is concerned about Jerome, she knows something is wrong. She is the only one that is willing to go look for him.
It dawns on Georgina when she sees Seth that there are things they couldn't do before that they now can. Enough on that one spoiler a review. Georgina starts off on a journey of discovery and snooping. Along the way mysterious and strange things happen. Faces from the past show up and adventure goes on.
This book made me happy and it made me sad. But it ended like a fairy tale and I have hope for Georgina's future.

I have to keep reminding myself that these are NOT good people, so I shouldn't be surprised by their actions anymore. UGH I hate cheaters.

The Georgina Kincaid series had gotten hard for me to read, because i was so gun ho over Georgina and Seth them breaking up made me biased on the books. Well in this one it was easy to get into because Georgina and Seth had another chance, granted it was temporary but still it was awesome. And this was all possible because Jerome, her john cusack hottie looking boss went missing, and when he went missing all his charges abilities went POOF. The vampires got to play in the sun, and Georgina could touch a guy without sucking out his life force. But Georgina being Georgina, couldnt sit back and let Jerome go, or risk being the charge of another higher demon, so she went and searched for jerome. this book is all about hidden lusts uncovered and tried, deceptions all over the place, and maybe some new formed alliances.

I liked this book, but I didn't like it for reasons that relate to Seth. Seth, though I understand why he did what he did in the end, really pissed me off. Plus he also made me sad when I found out he is no longer such a pure soul. The reason I liked this story was because of the plot. When Jerome goes missing and Georgina has to find him, that is why I liked this installment in the series. It was a mystery that only Georgina wanted to figure out, and the characters it brought together was truly shocking. Figuring out the mystery of who took Jerome was fun and intriguing, and that is why I really liked this one. Plus it was pretty sweet, the end, I mean. It was a great addition, and I can't wait to read the next!

4 down, one more to go before the last one comes out.
I still love Georgina... and Seth, I mean my goodness! He's why I added a'my lovers' shelf onto Goodreads. He's so sweet and gentle, but also fierce and sexy. I love him.
Surprisingly one of the reasons I like this series is because it lacks a 'bad guy'. Sure there's Niphon, he's a real jerk. But I just don't count him, because he feels like a bit of a joke. The ones you'd think would be bad guys are actually really pretty 3 dimentional. I really care about Dante, and I feel bad for the life he's created for himself. His feelings for Georgie were genuine. Roman, well I thought that I didn't like him but he really redeemed himself in this one. Not necessarily as a romantic hero, but more as a character. In the first book I never thought that he had much depth to him. He seemed very generic, the same man who's in most romantic books. But in this one I thought he was more original, and I've started to care about what happens to him. I feel that there's more to Jerome too, I actually really care about him. This series has a plethora of strong characters that are neither purely good, nor purely bad. Thats why I love it.
Moving on to book 5 right away!

Again, I'm amazed by how much I love this series.
The Gameboard, Kincaid and Markham books are what I love about Mead.
She's at her best when she's writing for adults.

Fourth in the Georgina Kincaid urban fantasy series revolving around a succubus, Georgina, who is based in Seattle with a job as manager at a bookstore.
The Story
Jerome is so angry with Georgina that he's loaned her out to a rival demon in Vancouver to help quash a cult of Satanists who are making evil look bad. Yeah, who knew??!
Then Georgina loses her powers—she can't shapeshift new clothes, accessories. She even has to do her own hair…and she had no idea it got so dang frizzy! All her friends have lost their powers. Peter and Cory can walk out in daylight. Hugh can't sense people's souls. And no one can find Jerome.
No. One. Can find Jerome. Not even his fellow demons. It can only mean a summoning. By someone powerful enough to take down Jerome. It had to be a human and a demon working together. And there are so many possible suspects.
Caught between concern for Jerome and the sudden realization that her succubus powers will no longer drain life from Seth, Georgina gets a bit crazy trying to do as much of both as possible never realizing the other effect Seth's cheating can have on his soul.
The Characters
Georgina Kincaid is a succubus with a heart…usually. But after her breakup with Seth (Succubus Dreams), Georgina's been taking her anger out on as many decent guys as she can. It's making a huge plus pile for her with Jerome but the minus is making everyone around her nuts. It's so bad that Jerome has insisted that Georgina see a therapist for her broken heart.
Jerome is the archdemon in charge of Seattle and its surroundings, right on up to the Canadian border. Cedric is his counterpart up in Vancouver, BC. Jerome's assistants are Mei and Grace, demons who dress exactly alike. Cedric's assistant is Kristin who is painfully in love with her boss.
Seth is Georgina's favorite author as he writes the Cady and O'Neill series. He's now seeing Maddie, Doug's sister, both employees at the bookstore, Emerald City Books and Café. Worse, Seth likes to write in the bookstore's café.
Georgina's particular coterie of friends includes Hugh (an imp) and Peter and Cody (vampires). Dante is her current boyfriend; it's safe sex with Dante as he hasn't much soul to lose. Roman is a nephilim—half-Immortal, half-human—and Jerome's son. Nephilim are to be killed on sight and yet he's overly eager to help Georgina find his father and free him.
My Take
Oh wow. This was both so incredibly sad and so amazing. And too many people in love with Georgina. So much hurt spreading itself around.
I do rather like Cedric's obsession with dating…
The Cover
Ooh, that's a very knowing and evil look on Georgina's face on this cover as she glances out at us wearing a sleeveless deep red dress with a bicep cuff on her left arm. Odd sort of background. The left side is bricks while the right side is circles of fuzzy reds.
The title, Succubus Heat, has me a bit confused. For most of the book, Georgina has no heat as a succubus although she does get rather heated with Seth.
