Rec: Succubus Blues (urban fantasy) Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead - I picked this book up just by chance in the library, though I have to say my experience of urban fantasy books has been somewhat hit and miss. In this case, Succubus Blues was definitely a hit, as I enjoyed it very much.
Our protagonist is one Georgina Kincaid - originally from Ancient Greece, she made a literal deal with the devil to try and set things right after cheating on her husband and ended up as the succubus of the title. At the time we first meet her, she's pretty much restricting herself to the lower end of the human foodchain for the energy she needs, while trying to balance having to lead souls astray with her day job in a Seattle bookstore.
Georgina has both human and immortal friends, managing mostly to keep her life ticking over within the constraints she has chosen for herself - no getting involved with humans, only preying on people she really doesn't like all that much. All of which is working okay till her favourite writer comes to town and Georgina meets a tall, dark and handsome college lecturer, little knowing both men will turn her settled life upside down for very different reasons.
Richelle Mead's storytelling is well-paced and interesting, though I found (probably no surprise, given the nature of her protagonist) that she lingered a little too much on the sex scenes for my liking. However, the world created in Succubus Blues is an intriguing one and I look forward to reading the next book in the series (Succubus Nights).
