it was ok

** spoiler alert ** Richelle, tell us how you really feel! She holds nothing back about how and what she feels towards conservatives. It became a little too much for me. But with that aside I'm still not sure why I continue to read this series. It's not really anthing that I'm in to. Seth's and Georgina's relationship is the MOST unrealistic relationship that I have yet encountered in a book. Seth's reactions seem so far from reality it's irritating. Ok so Seth accepts that she's a succubi and she needs to have sex with others to stay alive. I'm stretching here but MAYBE I can see a guy being ok with this (not really though). Not only is she banging all these other guys but she and Seth are not able to be together. I decided that I could overlook it for the most part. BUT then she cheated on him and his reaction was "I'm just glad you got to be with someone that you care about." Really? Seriously? Am I supposed to believe that this would be the rational and realistic reaction of a guy? I almost threw my book down when I read it because it was just so absurd. I can't imagine that happening...EVER! Forgiveness yes but not this.
The plot is centered around Georgina's and Seth's frustration with the lack of sex/intimacy with each other and of course the strange behavior of her friends. It didn't keep my attention. There was no danger or sense of urgency. No suspense. I feel like I'm reading about a woman who works retail with a really active sex life. Georgina has no good qualities, nothing that makes her special, except I guess she'considered good at sex. She's nothing like Rose in Mead's Vampire Academy series (which is the reason why I decided to give this series a try). How does a book that's about succubus, vampires, and imps lack a sense of darkness, evil, and edginess? If you don't mind the lack of a good storyline or lack of strong characters then this is the series for you.

Tim YES! I just finished it and when I reached the part where he says "So how was I?" I was so disgusted I wanted to thrown the book across the room. Except I was reading it on a tablet.
