Review: SUCCUBUS DREAMS by Richelle Mead

Posted by The Discriminating Fangirl  Published in Books, Reviews

If I loved this series before, this book proves that I am completely and utterly addicted. I wasted a good hour this morning finishing up this book. I say waste because, er… I should have been writing an essay for my film theory class. But frankly? This book is worth it.

Review: Succubus On Top by Richelle Mead

Posted by The Discriminating Fangirl  Published in Books, Reviews

Succubus On Top by Richelle Mead
Wow. I really liked the first book in this series, Succubus Blues, but I didn’t expect this one to exceed the first. Succubus On Top is great. It’s funny, it’s sexy, it’s a good mystery, the characters are very likable… I can’t praise this book enough.
We [...]
