The Georgina Kincaid series is one I willingly buy when I need some brain candy. I was first introduced to the series through a book club I occasionally participate in, and I was hooked within a few pages of Succubus Blues.
Georgina has agency. Even though she gets assistance from others, she makes her own decisions and doesn’t wait around to be rescued. She also doesn’t deliberately choose to do anything she knows will get her into trouble. Perhaps all of that is because she’s hundreds of years old and has learned a lesson or two over the years of her life as a succubus, but it is a refreshing change from the stereotypical Romance that has turned me off of the genre over the years. The other thing I like about the series is that each book doesn’t necessarily end with everything fixed and everyone happy. While there aren’t any cliffhanger endings, so far, and these aren’t heavy books at all, she deals with heartbreak and other relationship issues that the majority of readers can relate to, and she handles them realistically. In other words, her life is a bit messy, and things aren’t all tied up with a pretty bow by the last page.
If you’re looking for a Paranormal Romance or Urban Fantasy series as some occasional brain candy to dip into when you need a break, I highly recommend this one.
