REVIEW: Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead

JaneB Reviews / B Reviews CategoryFirst-Person / Richelle-Mead / Seattle / succubus13 Comments

Dear Ms. Mead: When I pulled up your book out of the stack to read, I thought that if I had to read one more female first person narrated paranormal that I I may poke out my eyes and never read again. Then I began to read and remembered why ... more >
