Succubus Revealed by Richelle Mead
3.0
I really want to be able to give this book more than 3 stars...but I just can't! If would give the series an overall rating of 4 stars, whilst I love Richelle Mead's writing, this series didn't hold my attention as well as Vampire Academy or Storm Born series has, and so I would recommend those series to others first.
So, what did I think of Succubus Revealed? It wrapped up the series in a nice little bow, but it was so predictable! I think that Mead sowed the seed in earlier books and this just kind of tied up the loose ends. It lacked the intrigue and mystery that Georgina was solving in the previous books, and the drama was left to Roman and Hugh to unveil - as we don't read from their point of view, we didn't get any of the unravelling of the clues (although it was fairly obvious what was going to happen!)
Seth, although quirky and likeable, just didn't do it for me and perhaps this is why this series lacked something in my opinion. And, what happened to Roman?! The supporting characters of the series were kind of deserted at the end, I understand the logistics behind the reasoning but still... Georgina seemed to do everything for her friends when she was a succubus and once she became human, she really did put that world behind her, and I think this goes against her original character traits?
I'm really hoping that the final installment of the storm born series is better than this - I have read that it is a big book (hoorah as this book was tiny!) and I hope it doesn't feel as rushed as the Kincaid series.
Glad I read the books, but would only recommend to true Richelle Mead fans.
