Thhis book was great! Right in the same kind of pace as the other Georgie books, and a lot of things happened that Georgina could sink her teeth into, both in her professional and her personal life.
I am pretty sure that Seth knows Georgina from her first life though, and that her contract with Hell is null and void. He was able to help her leave the dream-scape, and even called her by her original name.
There was some major foreshadowing going on, but a lot of stuff was still really great.

This review was originally posted at Vampire Book Club.
Note: This review is spoiler-free for this title only. If you have not read earlier Georgina Kincaid novels, I suggest you read our review of Succubus Blues instead.
Have you ever wanted more about Georgina? We’ve had the flashback to her decision to trade her soul to erase her from the memories of others’, but in Succubus Shadows we get to relive pivotal moments in her life. And while memory after memory can overwhelm one at times, when you come out the other side you’ll understand Seattle’s succubus much better.
Georgina and Seth finally got a taste of what it could be like to be together — in the Biblical sense — in Succubus Heat. But when Georgia’s powers returned, she decided to call it off. In his guilt, Seth proposed to Maddie. So, now we have Georgina wishing things were different, trying to figure out how to fix the dark mark on Seth’s soul due to him cheating on Maddie and, oh yeah, help plan their damn wedding.
Roman is living with her, and as much as he says he hates her, the nephilim doth protest too much. There’s a bit of beauty in bringing Roman back. He’s a good challenge for Georgina. They both want this freedom from what they are, but neither really wants to forgo the immortality perks. Perhaps having good friends saved Georgina from a similar spiral? Maybe it’s just that she’s a succubus and not half angel. Either way, the guy who was a stalker from the first book is now someone you care about. And that’s impressive.
Georgina’s sadness over letting go of Seth, again, have her susceptible to another immortal. No one can find them, but a type of siren song, a promise of peace calls to her. Only to have Georgina in a dream world, where she relives so many moments from her past.
That said, I continue to hold out hope for Seth and Georgina. I promised no spoilers, but the end of Succubus Shadows sets things up to either work out gloriously or fail miserably. And, really, would we have it any other way? Succubus Shadows continues the Georgina Kincaid Emotional Rollercoaster, where we’re thrilled at the promise of love one moment and near tears as it’s ripped away again. And, at this point, Georgina isn’t the only one suffering from romantic woes. Secondary characters have earned my loyalty as well.
Once you finish Succubus Shadows, you’ll be counting down the days until the release of the final book in the series, Succubus Revealed. (It hits shelves on August 30, and, yes, you can pre-order it.)

Review on my blog The Fictional Reader
While I gave the previous book the same star rating, I feel like this was my least favorite of them all. At this point, I’m not into the main ship. SORRY. I feel like I’m the only one in the world who has read these books and doesn’t root for the obvious ship. And because this book focuses so strongly on it, it took away from my enjoyment of the new mystery.
The mystery in this book also wasn’t as intriguing as the others. In fact, I found it quite… weird? I don’t know. Still enjoyable, but not as good as the others!

I'm not sure what I think about this one. It's strange. I love how the series is coming together and I can feel all the drama ramping up for one incredible series final but I'm just... I didn't love all the dream sequences in this novel.
Too many dreams and flashbacks tend to lose me and I get disinterested... I'm ashamed to say that I flicked though many of them and sort of felt like it wouldn't really matter...
But I love Roman. I'm glad he's back and causing a little bit of drama here and there.
I've gone off Seth in a big way. He annoys me with his semi-wishy washy attitudes towards his love life. I think I'm starting to view him as a victim. He was only with Maddy because... well I'm not sure why he ever got together with Maddy. He claimed to love Georgina but cheated on her with Maddy... albeit sort of with Georgina's permission. I refuse to believe that he didn't think it'd piss Georgie off.
I just... find him pathetic and I think that marrs my views of him as a potential HEA with Georgina.

As intriguing as ever. The humor was Ok with the same Richelle Mead undertone, the plot was unique. It's just so damn annoying that one can blame so much on lack of self-control based on love/lust/take-ur-pick.
