Actually 4.5 Stars for the awesomeness that is Seth Mortensen
This is the second book in the Georgina Kincaid series. Georgina is a succubus, which by definition means she has to have sex to survive, who is in love with a mortal. Unfortunately, their relationship has to be a chaste one because if Georgina makes love with him, she will suck the life out of him until he's dead. This is the premise for what is one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever read; why, because they can't have sex. Let me elaborate. Seth doesn't love Georgina because she's hot and great in the sack, he genuinely loves her for who she is. Their relationship is not at all based on sex, and that's what makes it beautiful to me. I mean, I don't know know about the rest of you but most of the books I read ascribe to the first comes sex, then comes marriage school of thought. The characters usually fall for the sex before they fall for the person. It's so nice to see a romance can actually blossom without it (in a book, there's no way this would work in real life, but it's nice to dream, heh!). Another central dogma of most books these days are also bad boys. In the post-Damon Salvatore world we live in, bad boys are the hot topic, they sell books and are the epitome of sexy. Well, move over dark and tortured sexy bad boy souls, Seth Mortensen has arrived.

(an actual cute author named Joshua Ferris, no idea who he is, but he looks exactly like I imagined Seth.)
Seth is so far from being a bad boy, it's not even funny. He is geeky, sweet, sometimes painfully shy but he has the most beautiful heart. To tell you the truth, I care more about Seth than I do Georgina. Of course, a romance like theirs is going to have problems, basically, their inability to have sex is, well, painful to read about. I swear I could practically feel the frustration dripping from every page. (view spoiler) .
So far this review has mostly been me gushing over Seth but other things happened to. Some of Georgina's human friends seem to be acting strangely and dangerously, and basically partying like it's 1969. Something or someone is causing it, and our girl is on the case. She may debauch mortal men for a living but nobody messes with her mortal friends and gets away with it. At the same, an old friend comes to town and needs Georgina's help to debauch this bigoted religious leader of a sort and basically ruin her reputation, but she's turning out to be a tough sell. Basically, Georgina has her work cut out for her on many fronts, including taking care of the bookstore while every one seems to be calling in sick, while having a sweet if complicated relationship with our favorite fictional author. Nothing our girl can't handle, but it's a good thing Georgina's really great at multitasking!
