Succubus Takes Manhattan by Nina Harper

Succubus2This is the second book in the Succubus series, and I was a little disappointed. It was no where as good as the first for several reasons.

First, it lost it’s “Sex and the City” vibe. One of the main reasons why I loved the first was because it was about four demon girls, eating good food, discussing sex, and looking fashionable. That rarely happens in the second book, though fashion is still a hot topic.

Second, for a series about a sex demon, there is hardly any sex. A succubus is a demon who has one night stands for eternity. Lily’s job as a succubus is to seduce men into orgasm and as soon as that happens they combust into flames and are delivered to Hell. I was shocked at just how little this happens in the story.

Third, the story itself gets off to a very slow start. I found myself drifting from time to time and it didn’t actually pick up the pace until about two thirds of the way in, when Satan makes her first appearance.

Overall, I did like the book. It brings back all the characters we like and introduces a few new ones as well. The plot thickens as demons start to disappear and Lily finally admits to herself that she’s in love with two people. What’s a succubus to do?

    Actually I would love to know the history behind this book. All the details if possible and oh yeah make it at least 40 pages so it can become quite interesting. Then if possible copy the whole content to chapters so we can all share on the merry fun.
