Good god, this book... where do I start? 
 Georgina and Seth have gotten even more annoying. I mean, Seth was always annoying in that he was supposedly so perfect, understanding and compassionate when in reality he was a bland, boring, doormat of a hero. And Georgina? Well, the props I would give her for actually getting off her ass and doing something is overshadowed by HOW MUCH STUPID she does in this damned book. 
 So it's been three months since Georgina and Seth broke up. Georgina's been such a bitch that Jerome banishes her to... Canada. Okay, as a Canadian, the entire subplot (if you can really call it that) of the satanists in Canada bothered me. Not so much the satanists themselves, but the stereotypes of Canadians and curling and Jesus Christ if I hear Tim Hortons one more time I am gonna punch a bitch. In fact, reading the words Tim Hortons on a page four fucking times made me swear off using any product names in my novels, so thanks for that. Anyway, I get that the satanists in Canada were a distraction for the 'Jerome getting summoned' plot, but Georgina was barely there and it felt like a waste of time reading about it. Why weren't the satanists in Seattle? Everything else seems to be. 
 Apparently when an archdemon of an area is summoned, all lesser immortals go into some kind of stasis where they can't die but they're human. Yeah, I call bullshit. This was put in for one reason; so Seth and Georgina can sex each other up. Remember their relationship problems, like lack of communication, him neglecting her for his work, and her keeping things from him about her past and succubus nature? And do you also remember how understanding Seth was about not having sex with Georgina to preserve his life? Well, forget all that, because the only barrier to their true love was that he wasn't sticking it in her. Never mind that he has Maddie and she has Dante, as soon as they discover she can't suck his soul away, he's got a perma-boner and is always looking at her with heat, lust, desire, et cetera, et cetera. When Georgina isn't trying to find Jerome, she's screwing Seth, who doesn't feel the slightest bit guilty for cheating on Maddie until Georgina tells him he's supposed to. Hey Seth, as per your bullshit logic last book, you need to break up with Maddie and date Georgina again because you 'don't do flings'. No buts about it, mister, don't try to argue with me! You made your bed, now lie in it until Georgina completely sucks your life away and my sanity is restored. 
 Unlike sex with any other schmuck, Georgina has intense monologues about how wonderful sex with Seth is: 
 How to describe sex with Seth? It's difficult. It was unlike anything I'd had in my existence as a succubus. 
 Huh, that sounds vaguely familiar, where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, Shadow Kiss, Chapter 23: 
 I wish I had the words to describe sex, but nothing I can say would really capture how amazing it was. 
 Okay, I'm not going crazy; all this tells me is that Ms. Mead can't write emotional sex (not that I needed compare Georgina Kincaid and Vampire Academy to know that, I read the Dark Swan series), which is fine, especially if she knows it. I'm sure if I wrote smut it would sound very IKEA Erotica like and believe me, I'll be trying to work on that. 
 Anyway, Georgina's inner blah continues: 
 Somewhere, in the back of my head, it resonated with memories of my marriage, when my husband and I had still been happy. 
 OW! Someone just hit me with a two by four. Oh no, wait, sorry, that was the horrible foreshadowing. Not that it hasn't been obvious since Succubus on Top with the way the parallels between Seth and Kyriakos have been repeatedly shown through all the books, In fact, let's just assume all those guys in Georgina's past that she 'loved and lost' (mostly because the men kept choosing work over her) were all reincarnations of Kyriakos. It would be sweet if it weren't laid out so horribly. Did Georgina forget WHY she cheated on Kyriakos with his best friend? Oh, wasn't it because he was neglecting her for his work all the time? How can she be so sure if she gets her stupid happily ever after with Seth that he won't stick her in the kitchen and go right back to ignoring her for his novels and she won't cheat on him again? GEORGINA YOU DID NOT THINK THIS THROUGH. 
 While we're on the subject, why is cheating presented as A-OK in Ms. Mead's books when the hero and heroine are the ones doing it? 
 In Vampire Academy... (view spoiler)[Rose cheats on Adrian with Dimitri and this is acceptable because they're soul mates. (hide spoiler)] 
 In Dark Swan... (view spoiler)[Eugenie cheats on Dorian with Kiyo because 'she had already broken up with Dorian in her mind' when she decided that Dorian betrayed her. (hide spoiler)] 
 In Bloodlines... (view spoiler)[Just kidding, Sydney is way too vanilla to cheat on her first real boyfriend/twu wuv Adrian. He, however, cheats on her and gets a free pass because 'it wasn't cheating'. (hide spoiler)] 
 And in Georgina Kincaid, of course, since Seth is Georgina's twu wuv, it's okay that she cheats on her sleazebag boyfriend Dante and Seth on his loving girlfriend/Georgina's only female friend Maddie. 
 CHEATING IS NOT OKAY. IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER/LOVE SOMEONE ELSE, BREAK UP WITH YOUR CURRENT PARTNER FIRST. Sorry, shouty caps, but I can't emphasize this enough. It makes it really hard to empathize with the heroine/hero when s/he pulls bullshit like this. The love I had for Georgina's character dwindles with every book (although not the way my love for Adrian plummeted with the Bloodlines series after he was so awesome in Vampire Academy). 
 God, this book depressed me, I don't know if I can continue this review. Oh wait, Roman's back! YAY ROMAN! And, for those keeping score at home, I actually called him being the one looking out for Georgina until he revealed himself. GO ME. He livened up my reading when he was in scenes, which is a bonus because Carter was scarce and very blah in this book *sigh*. I don't understand why Roman just decided to live with Georgina all of a sudden though. She's moving, why doesn't he take her old apartment instead of following her around? Oh, who cares, Roman's back! I just hope he doesn't get ruined in the final two books. 
 So Grace is behind Jerome's summoning, whatever, I don't care, but seriously, why is Dante the one who helped with it? Was this some master plan to make Georgina look less reprehensible and have us approve of her cheating ways because "Oh, Dante's the BAD GUY, so who cares if she screwed around on him?" *raises hand* I CARE, I DO! The fact that Dante helped so he could have tons of money to shower Georgina in presents and buy her love... yeah, sorry, I'm not buying what you're selling. Wasn't their relationship somewhat fine and dandy before this happened? Dante really screwed himself on that one; if Georgina had never gone into stasis, she wouldn't have screwed around with Seth and none of this would have happened. Way to go, Dante. He escaped, though, so I'm sure he'll be back. 
 Why do vampires sleep in coffins? HOW CLICHE CAN YOU GET? Does anyone remember the awesomeness of Moroi/dhampirs/Strigoi? Yeah, I loved that stuff in Vampire Academy, it was a nice, fresh spin on vampires. Here? Not so much. 
 I don't know what to make of Georgina's frizzy hair when she's 'human'. I really doubt she would have shape-shifted hair for her current body that would go frizzy. Carter's explanation of "You must have used your powers to keep it in check" is flimsy and lame. No, she would have used her powers to have perfectly straight hair that never frizzed. Was I supposed to feel bad that Georgina couldn't keep her hair in check? Because I didn't; in fact, I didn't feel bad for Georgina at all in this book. She went from interesting and engaging in the first book to slap-worthy and stupid as I get further and further into this series. I don't even know if I could properly put Ms. Mead's heroines in order of like to dislike, except Rose would be my favorite and Sydney would be my least favorite. Georgina would be second, but her stupidity is getting on par with Eugenie's. WHY DOES EVERYTHING I LOVE BECOME RUINED? 
 So to end this god awful book, Seth is probably going to hell because he realized cheating on Maddie is BAD (now that Georgina told him, of course, he's too stupid to figure it out on his own) and a shadow is over his soul now. And I really couldn't care less. Let Seth burn in hell. I'll go start the car and mow him down, stupid Seth. 
 Usually I end a review with a Carter quote, but he wasn't really quote-worthy this time :'( so I'll use a Roman quote: 
 "I'm just intrigued, that's all. You wear this mask of moral superiority. So does Mortensen. Yet, here you two are, sneaking around." 
 *high-fives Roman* Heroes and Heroines that tote around superiority of any kind, especially moral, piss me off. It's even worse when they pull crap like that Seth and Georgina did all book.
