Check this out, because no child should have to live like this. And one
voice can change the world, if it's spoken with the volume of a nation, a generation, a world of people who have had enough.

group
Author: Richelle Mead
Cat: paranormal mystery
Format: paperback (s); 477pp w/ 27 chapters
Age Range: adult
Synopsis
Succubus (n.) An
alluring, shape-shifting
demon who seduces and pleasures mortal men.
Pathetic (adj.) A
succubus with great shoes
and no social life. See: Georgina Kincaid
When
it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can
be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything
just for a touch. Granted, they can often pay with their souls, but why get
technical?
But
Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid’s life is far less exotic. Her boss is a
middle-management demon with a thing for John Cusack movies, and she can’t get
a decent date without sucking away part of the guy’s life. At least there’s her
day job at a local bookstore—free books: all the white chocolate mochas she can
drink: and easy access to bestselling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, aka He Whom
She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can’t.
But
dreaming about Seth will have to wait. Something wicked is at work in Seattle’s
demon underground. And for once, all her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners
won’t help because Georgina’s about to discover there are some creatures out
there that both heaven and hell want to deny....
