Grade: A (5 stars)I thoroughly enjoyed this read, and as I was reading, I kept turning to my boyfriend, and say, "Hey, guess what just happened in my book", and this time, he was actually interested. I love the succubus idea for this novel. clever, interesting and unique. Plus, RB is such a fun character. She's got strength, smarts, style and a little bit of sass. The idea of the levels of power the telepaths have also interested me a lot, I love that the author took the time to really describe all the gifts in the back of the book, for those of us who really wanted to know more, without weighing down the actual story with all this extra detail. I also thought the intro was quite helpful to set up the clans, the powers, and the general behind the scenes plot for the novel. Going into the story knowing that allowed a lot more of the story to slide by without needing excess explanation. Interesting plot angle to tie succubi to the sex trade. I would have never seen that angle coming for a book about succubi but I actually really loved the idea as a plot. I thought that the scenes were described well enough, maybe a little more could've been added, but it wasn't really necessary.  I know a lot of reviews mentioned that a lot of RB gifts didn't get fully explained, but she does list them out and the back of the book goes into a lot of great detail for that, so I didn't really feel like it hindered the story in anyway. I loved that it was set in Europe and especially Ireland. It's just such a lovely place, so I love when books are set somewhere a little exotic from my boring,everyday, united states life. Overall, the plot has twist and turns, and the major one dealing with the girl they were trying to track down was the one that really got me. But I loved being surprised, I loved this world, and the characters were fantastic even if some of them suck as people. Check this book out, it's a great paranormal read with mystery and humor! It's perfect.** I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
