The Georgina Kincaid Series Book Order

Book 1 – Succubus Blues

Book Depository | Kobo | Audible

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 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. Her immortal best friends haven’t stopped teasing her about the time she shape-shifted into the Demon Goddess get-up complete with whip and wings. And she can’t have 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 of 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…

Book 2 – Succubus on Top

Book Depository | Kobo | Audible

Georgina Kincaid’s job sucks. Literally.

Love hurts, and no one knows it better than Georgina Kincaid. If she so much as kisses her new boyfriend, she’ll drain his life force. Georgina is a succubus—a demon who draws her power from other men’s pleasure. Admittedly, the shapeshifting and immortality perks are terrific, and yes, Georgina did choose to join the ranks of hell centuries ago. But it seems completely unfair that a she-demon whose purpose is seduction can’t get hot and heavy with the one mortal who knows and accepts her for who she is.

It’s not just her personal life that’s in chaos. Doug, Georgina’s co-worker at a local bookstore, has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, and Georgina suspects that something far more demonic than double espressos is at work. She could use help finding out, but Bastien, an irresistibly charming incubus and her best immortal friend, is preoccupied in the suburbs with corrupting an ultra-conservative talk radio star—and giving Georgina some highly distracting come-hither vibes. Georgina is going to have to work solo on this one—and fast because soon, Doug’s life won’t be the only one on the line…

Book 3 – Succubus Dreams

Book Depository | Kobo | Audible

Some days, a girl just can’t catch a break…

…especially when the girl in question is Georgina Kincaid, a shape-shifting succubus who gets her energy from seducing men. First there’s her relationship with gorgeous bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, which is unsatisfying on a number of levels. It’s not just that they can’t have sex in case Georgina inadvertently kills him (generally a turn-off for most guys). Lately, even spending time together is a challenge. Seth’s obsessed with finishing his latest novel, and Georgina’s under demonic orders to mentor the new (and surprisingly inept) succubus on the block.

Then there are the dreams. Someone, or something, is preying on Georgina at night, draining her energy, and supplying eerie visions of her future. Georgina seeks answers from Dante, a dream interpreter with ties to the underworld, but his flirtatious charm only leaves her more confused—especially as the situation with Seth reaches crisis point. Now Georgina faces a double challenge—rein in her out-of-control love life, and go toe-to-toe with an enemy capable of wreaking serious havoc among mankind. Otherwise, Georgina, and the entire mortal world, may never sleep easy again…

Book 4 – Succubus Heat

Book Depository | Kobo | Audible

Georgina Kincaid has been a bad, bad succubus…

…which should be a good thing. But lately, thanks to her foul mood over breaking up with bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, she’s been so wicked that Seattle’s über-demon Jerome, decides to “outsource” Georgina to a rival—and have her spy for him in the process.

Being exiled to the frozen north—okay, Vancouver—and leaving Seth in the cozy clutches of his new girlfriend is unpleasant enough. Then Jerome is kidnapped, and all immortals under his control mysteriously lose their powers. One bright spot: with her life-sucking ability gone, there’s nothing to keep Georgina from getting down and dirty with Seth—nothing apart from his girlfriend that is. Now, as the supernatural population starts turning on itself, a newly mortal Georgina must rescue her boss and figure out who’s been playing them—or all hell will break loose…

Book 5 -Succubus Shadows

Book Depository | Kobo | Audible

Georgina Kincaid has formidable powers. Immortality, seduction, shape-shifting into any human form she desires, walking in heels that would cripple mere mortals—all child’s play to a succubus like her.

Helping to plan her ex-boyfriend’s wedding is a different story. Georgina isn’t sure which is worse—that Seth is marrying another woman, or that Georgina has to run all over Seattle trying on bridesmaid dresses. Still, there are distractions. Georgina’s roommate, Roman, is cluttering her apartment with sexual tension. Then there’s Simone, the new succubus in town, who’s intent on corrupting Seth.

But the real danger lies in the mysterious force that’s visiting her thoughts, trying to draw her into a dark, otherworldly realm. Sooner or later, Georgina knows she’ll be too weak to resist. And when that happens, she’ll discover who she can trust, who she can’t—and that Hell is far from the worst place to spend eternity…

Book 6 – Succubus Revealed – Coming September 2011

Book Depository | Kobo | Audible

Georgina Kincaid has had an eternity to figure out the opposite sex, but sometimes they still surprise her. Take Seth Mortensen. The man has risked his soul to become Georgina’s boyfriend. Still, with Lucifer for a boss, Georgina can’t just hang up her killer heels and settle down to domestic bliss. In fact, she’s being forced to transfer operations…to Las Vegas.

The City of Sin is a dream gig for a succubus, but Georgina’s allies are suspicious. Why are the powers-that-be so eager to get her away from Seattle—-and from Seth? Georgina is one of Hell’s most valuable assets, but if there’s any way out of the succubus business she plans to take it–no matter how much roadkill she leaves behind. She just hopes the casualties won’t include the one man she’s risking everything for…

Richelle Mead’s popular YA series Vampire Academy, finished up at the end of last year with the sixth and final book Last Sacrifice. Even though the last book was a hit with fans, many people were left wondering “What happens now for the minor characters?” Well to help answer some of those questions Richelle has created Bloodlines a Vampire Academy spin-off. Sydney, a human alchemist, will be the narrator in Bloodlines and other cast members include Jill, Eddie and possibly even Adrian.

EW.com had the first exclusive look at the cover and also posted a video of Richelle talking about the series.

She hires a more homespun chef and adds the preternaturally beautiful Zachary to her wait staff. But with hundreds of new vampires on the rise and Bradley off assuming the powers of Dracula Prime, Zachary soon reveals his true nature—and a flaming sword—and they hit the road to staunch the bloodshed before it’s too late. Even if they save the world, will there be time left to salvage Quincie’s soul?

Happy IMM Day fellow book lovers!

I didn’t get anything in my mailbox this week but I did do a little shopping and picked up a few books, here’s what I got:

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the great Depression, and for Jacob, now ninety, the circus world he remembers was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an untrainable elephant who was the great gray hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and, ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.

Bitten by Kelley Armstrong

Elena Michaels is the world’s only female werewolf. And she’s tired of it. Tired of a life spent hiding and protecting, a life where her most important job is hunting down rogue werewolves. Tired of a world that not only accepts the worst in her–her temper, her violence–but requires it. Worst of all, she realizes she’s growing content with that life, with being that person.

So she left the Pack and returned to Toronto where she’s trying to live as a human. When the Pack leader calls asking for her help fighting a sudden uprising, she only agrees because she owes him. Once this is over, she’ll be squared with the Pack and free to live life as a human. Which is what she wants. Really.

The Luxe by Anna Godbersen

Pretty girls in pretty dresses, partying until dawn.
Irresistible boys with mischievous smiles and dangerous intentions.
White lies, dark secrets, and scandalous hookups.
This is Manhattan, 1899.

Beautiful sisters Elizabeth and Diana Holland rule Manhattan’s social scene. Or so it appears. When the girls discover their status among New York City’s elite is far from secure, suddenly everyone—from the backstabbing socialite Penelope Hayes, to the debonair bachelor Henry Schoonmaker, to the spiteful maid Lina Broud—threatens Elizabeth’s and Diana’s golden future.

With the fate of the Hollands resting on her shoulders, Elizabeth must choose between family duty and true love. But when her carriage overturns near the East River, the girl whose glittering life lit up the city’s gossip pages is swallowed by the rough current. As all of New York grieves, some begin to wonder whether life at the top proved too much for this ethereal beauty, or if, perhaps, someone wanted to see Manhattan’s most celebrated daughter disappear…

In a world of luxury and deception, where appearance matters above everything and breaking the social code means running the risk of being ostracized forever, five teenagers lead dangerously scandalous lives. This thrilling trip to the age of innocence is anything but innocent.

The Story Siren runs a meme called In My Mailbox where Book Bloggers can interact and talk about the books they have received in their mailbox. Go and check it out!

I was recently given the opportunity to ask Sue Bursztynski, the Author of Wolfborn a few questions!

Firstly, could you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I’m a teacher-librarian, living in Melbourne. I run the library of a western suburbs secondary school and teach Year 8 and a special literacy subject called SunLit, which is spread across all year levels. I run a lunchtime book club and, because my book clubbers also write, I alternate that with a writing club. One of them won a prize last year in the Melbourne Writers’ Festival schools competition and I am so very proud of her! Another of them interviewed Juliet Marillier on my blog, The Great Raven, and it’s getting steady, frequent hits after several weeks. I believe in raising the next generation of readers and writers.

Could you tell us a little about Wolfborn?

Wolfborn is a werewolf novel set in a mediaeval society loosely based on our own mediaeval Europe. The hero, Etienne, goes to live with a knight called Geraint, to do his training. Geraint is a good lord, a good peacekeeper for his king, but he’s a born werewolf and when you sneak out regularly to change into a wolf, someone is not going to like it – in this case, Geraint’s wife. Most of the story is about Etienne and his friends trying to save Geraint from being a wolf for the rest of his life.

It’s inspired by a medieval romance by a poet called Marie de France. The word “romance” by the way, had a different meaning in the Middle Ages from what we think of as a romance now. It might be just an adventure story. That said, there was usually some love stuff going on in Marie’s stories, although in Lai Le Bisclavret, on which this novel was based, the werewolf knight’s wife keeps him in wolf shape with the help of another man who wants her – and that’s not a romance you’d think sweet!

Wolfborn is set in medieval times, have these times always been fascinating to you?

It’s set in a medieval society, but the universe is not ours – it has three moons! But yes, I have always been fascinated by the Middle Ages. I was a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism for some time, wearing armour at tournaments and medieval costume at feasts, singing, embroidering and dancing. The scene in Chapter 2 where Etienne has such a painful time practising swordplay is based on my own experience.

I even have my own personal device (coat of arms), which is still up on the Australian (Lochac) SCA web site, under the name of Gwenddydd Rhosyn o Gymru Newydd, if anyone is curious, designed for me by an artist friend, Rob Jan. It was two unicorn heads, a bar and a crescent moon. I do know the heraldic way to describe it, but go take a look – the heraldic description is there.

I also learned Renaissance dance from Helga Hill, an expert on early music and dance, who runs classes and does performances in Melbourne. I have lots of CDs of early music, which I play when I write.

I did a lot of research for Wolfborn, and it must have worked because everyone assumes it really is set in the Middle Ages, but in the end, it’s my own universe and I’ve played around with some things.

When you are creating your characters, do you base them on people you know or are they completely made up?

None of my characters is based on anyone I know, although the two teenage boys, Etienne and his friend Armand, are a mixture of a lot of young men I’ve known at school over the years. I come to know my characters as I write, to the extent that by the time I’m doing the editing process, I can say, “No, this character wouldn’t do that! He’s just not that type of person.” I’m pretty accommodating about my editing, when asked to re-write, but when an editor has a character say something he wouldn’t, use words probably not in his vocab, I can say so, because I know the character so well by then.

Ok now for The Fictional Fantasy Five!

What book are you currently reading?

I’m a reader of multiple books. I’ve just finished the Hunger Games trilogy, which I read in three days. What’s sitting on the table beside me as I write this is a very entertaining history of the Vikings. The author says some outrageous things. Apparently, they weren’t the hot navigators they are supposed to have been, they just kept losing their way and crashing into new countries by accident!

I love “history of” books, whether it’s the history of chocolate or the history of tourism. Just the other week I read a history of the Roman games which I simply MUST use some time in a novel.

Who is one of your favourite Authors?

Kerry Greenwood and Terry Pratchett are writers whose books I’ll read over and over. There’s always something new to discover in them. I still laugh at Pratchett’s Discworld books, no matter how many times I’ve read them, and Kerry Greenwood’s vibrant descriptions of Melbourne, both present-day and 1928, are enough to overcome the fact that I know whodunnit.

What is your all time favourite book?

Probably Lord of the Rings, which I absorb as comfort reading every now and then when I’m tired and stressed and feel the need for a story that’s beautifully written and has characters I care about.

What is your all time favourite movie?

If I must choose one, probably the original The Day The Earth Stood Still, NOT the remake. I love to watch it late at night after a hard day. Hey, can I slip in one more? Forbidden Planet!

Where is your favourite place to write?

I have a full-time day job, so I write where I can, when I can.

I do have a wonderful study full of books, but when I have a day to write – weekends and term holidays – I often leave the house to work, because I have a tendency to make excuses to leave the computer – get a coffee, look something up, go down to the letterbox, and so on. When I was commissioned to write my last book, Crime Time: Australians behaving badly, I was on long-service leave, so I spent quite a lot of my time with my laptop at the local café, which has free wifi , ordering coffee, muffins, lunch,… The staff at the café were fascinated and cheered me on. I presented the owner with a copy of the finished book. Sometimes I write on the beach, when the weather is good, but the beach can also be distracting.

The original draft of Wolfborn was written in longhand, on public transport on the way to work. The next several drafts were written in my study, where I had my first computer, a desktop Macintosh. These days I have only a laptop and I transferred all my files to it when I got that. My last draft, when the book had been accepted for publication, was written in the living-room, playing early music (and getting up to dance a galliard now and then) or the movie Ladyhawke, which has a man cursed to turn into a wolf every night while his beloved turns into a hawk by day. It put me right in the mood for the editing process! :)

Title: Hex Hall
Author: Rachel Hawkins
Age Group: Teen / Young Adult
Release Date: June 2010
Publishers: Simon and Schuster (Aus)

Book Summary: In the wake of a love spell gone horribly wrong, Sophie Mercer, a sixteen-year-old witch, is shipped off to Hecate Hall, a boarding school for witches, shapeshifters and faeries. The traumas of mortal high school are nothing compared to the goings on at “Freak High.” It’s bad enough that she has to deal with a trio of mean girls led by the glamorous Elodie, but it’s even worse when she begins to fall for Elodie’s gorgeous boyfriend, Archer Cross, and frankly terrifying that the trio are an extremely powerful coven of dark witches. But when Sophie begins to learn the disturbing truth about her father, she is forced to face demons both metaphorical and real, and come to terms with her own growing power as a witch.

My Thoughts: Hex Hall was a very easy read. From the moment I picked up the book I was launched into Sophie’s world. I enjoyed learning about Hex Hall (the reform school for wayward Prodigium). I enjoyed getting to know the characters. The characters were all quite cliche, the main character (Sophie) who doesn’t feel like she fits in, the outcast who becomes the best friend, the three “mean girls” and the “to die for” heartthrob, but the twists and turns made the story new and different from anything I had read before.

Surprisingly there were a few twists in there that I didn’t see coming which is refreshing and I am very much looking forward to reading the next book in the series Raising Demons (Demonglass in the US) which is due for release in May (March in the US).

My Rating: (out of 5)

About the Author: Rachel Hawkins is a 20-something former teacher who left teaching to take a chance and get serious about finishing that book she’d always wanted to write. Her first book, Hex Hall, was the result of that leap of faith. She’s a graduate of Auburn University in Alabama and lives with her husband and three-year-old son.

Title: Awakened
Author: PC and Kristin Cast
Series: The House of Night Series (book #8)
Age Group: Young Adult
Release Date: 1st January 2011 (Aus)
Publishers: Little, Brown (Aus)

Book Summary: Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa’s House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over her immortal consort Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn’t it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same – and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either…

And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart?

In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl’s heart?

Click here to read an excerpt!

My Thoughts: I loved the first few books in this series. I really liked the concept of the school for the teens (fledglings) who were in the process of turning into vampyres. I enjoyed the wiccan aspects that were incorporated in with some new vampyre lore. I also enjoyed getting to know the characters. But I have been a little disappointed with the last couple of books in this series. Since Kalona came back and Neferet showed her evil side the story has slowly become derailed.

There are parts of the story that I did enjoy reading, but unfortunately they were outweighed by the parts that I found myself cringing at.

This book is aimed at the young adult market, and I’m not sure if I’m being a bit prudish here, but I found the sexual content to be a bit much. My teenage daughter has read many young adult books, but this is one book that I would not be happy about her reading.

My Rating: (out of 5)

Book Description:

He was a lethal vampire, bound by an ancient curse.
She was an agent of homeland security,
investigating a dangerous cult.
Theirs was a Blood Destiny about to unfold…

Descended from the progeny of Celestial Gods and humans, Nathaniel Silivasi is handsome, seductive, and powerful beyond measure: a lethal vampire. Belonging to an ancient civilization that sacrificed its females to the verge of extinction, he is also cursed. Like all the sons of Jadon, he is incapable of producing female offspring and required to sacrifice a first born son as atonement for the sins of his forefathers. He belongs to a modern civilization, yet he is bound by primeval law.

When Jocelyn Levi stumbles upon Nathaniel’s pristine mountain valley, she is not prepared for the collision of worlds that is about to confront her. As an agent of the homeland security department, ICE, the beautiful, defiant female has an agenda of her own: to stop the ritualistic slaughter of innocent young women by a human trafficking ring. Little does she know that the evil she seeks is unlike any other she has ever encountered. She has entered a world of warriors, code, and mystery where the predators are divided only by degrees of light and shadow, and the dark, handsome stranger who has come to her aid is the most dangerous of all.

Friday Night Bites
Release Date: 8th April 2010
Publisher: Victor Gollancz Limited (Aus)

VAMPIRES IN CHICAGO!You’d think a headline like that would have made the fine citizens of the Windy City to take up arms against us bloodsucking fiends. Instead, ten months later, we’re enjoying celebrity statue and fending off the paparazzi, who are only slightly less dangerous than angry stake-wielding slayers. Don’t get me wrong – Joe Public isn’t exactly thrilled to be living side by side with the undead, but at least they haven’t stormed the castle . . . not yet . . . But it could be a matter of time. There’s a first-time reporter sniffing around vampire society, and if he uncovers the Raves – mass feeding parties, where vampires round humans up like cattle and drink themselves silly. The fact that it’s majorly frowned upon by vamp society won’t make a difference to that kind of a headline, or a new reporter who’s out to impress his family.So now my ‘master’ – the centuries-old yet gorgeously well-preserved Ethan Sullivan – wants me to reconnect with my own upper-class family and act as liaison between humans and vampire . . . and use the opportunity to keep the less savoury aspects of vamp existence out of the media spotlight. Tough job, when it seems someone doesn’t want vamps and humans to play nicely – someone with a serious, ancient grudge . . .
