Succubus Blues: Georgina Kincaid #1

If Paranormal Romance is a guilty pleasure, then books like Succubus Blues are the guiltiest of them all. There's an element of Vampire Diaries to this series, but that shouldn't put you off – succubi make for much interesting characters than permanent high school students of the fanged variety.Unlike many of the books on this list, this series has thematic depth. The idea of redemption – more specifically, how difficult it is to find it – plays an important role in the development of the characters. And they're well realized characters that are easy to connect with.Mead uses words economically, but always manages to communicate the action effectively. This is a rare gift to find in a writer – it's much easier to overwrite than to use language carefully. It's something that adds to the way the sex scenes are written: Well, without over embellishing.
