I know, and then they look at you like "wat'd I do?" lol Book molesters. But I hardly even use bookmarks anymore since I usually just remember what chapter I leave off at.

To answer your previous question about whom I'd be friends with in VA...Christian probably. I love Rose, but I'd be angling after Dimitri, too. LOL! Christian has a great sense of humour.

RM's not planning to come to Toronto. So no book signing for me...unless I save up and get the time off to go to maybe Boston. That would likely be the closest place for me.

Hardcovers vs Softcovers: I agree with dimkaluv. I sorta prefer the hardcovers because there is less tendency for them to get bent/creased/otherwise damaged. The only thing that sucks about hardcovers is that they are heavy and harder to transport around. Softcovers are lighter and easier to transport...but I cringe at the book molestation (love that term!), too. One of the worst offenders is my mom! She gets a paperback and she bends the cover back and she bends the pages all back. AIEEEE! NOOOOO!!! When I lent her the Twilight series, I gave her the hardcovers to read. I had a paperback of Twilight but I didn't want her to bend it.

I'm really anal about keeping my books pristine.

Back to succubus...I have a spoilery question/speculation:

Spoiler:
	Do you think we're going to lose Erik? I have a sinking feeling we will. Unless, Georgie uses her reward to help him. If we do lose him, do you think we'll see the woman from the photo? Or did she already pass? I can't remember. And what will become of his shop?

Sounds like you had a blast!

My fave part of ch. 1 in SS
Cody: "How is that possible? I am a vampire I should be exactly what she wants."('')
I was laughing so hard when I read that scene.('')

Spoiler:

Okay first things first Carter and his mysterious Angel business. through out the books it's stressed that it's odd for him an angel to be hanging out with georgies gang and Jerome. Then towards the end of the last one they make some comment about making deals with god. Carter is always telling Georgie that there's still hope for her. That got me wondering if maybe carters job is to seek souls out for redemption. I'm wondering if all that might come into play at the end allowing Georgina to fulfill her dream. Niphon made some screw up in the contract or that theory about someone else that knew her made a contract with another imp. " [i]You sold your soul and took on standard succubus servitude in exchange for every mortal you knew forgetting who you were" So maybe there was someone that knew of her that she didn't know. Thus leaving a loop hole in the contract. Does that make sense? That could have been an easy subtle mistake to make. Erik, I first of all want to know what Nyx showed him. I'd like to think that when he does pass on he leaves his store to Georgie. Maybe with her new move she can transfer to Eriks store and work for him, and take care of him during his last few days. Then she can get away from Seth and Maddie. Honestly if I was Georgina I would just fire Maddie after all she has the authority, and I don't think Doug will mind getting rid of her either. I think in order for Seth the Mega hypocrite has to come clean to Maddie to untarnish his super nova soul. I don't necessarily like Maddie nor do I hate her. I have the feeling that if she knew the truth about georgina and Seths prior relationship nothing would have ever happened. The only true person to blame for that entire Seth and Maddie situation in Seth. He knew better, everyone else was a victim. I was honestly expecting Maddie to walk in on them having sex a few times in SH. I like the idea of her finding Georgina's pictures. I don't think Seth will go through with the wedding, only because he believes in honesty and communication in a relationship so what he and Maddie have had from the very beginning started on lies and deceit. I think Roman can't necessarily kill georgina but is still sour about that situation, and might open his big mouth about the affair just to throw a wrench in Georgina's life. I do wonder if he still has loving feelings for Georgina because when he was following her he could have let the guy rape her but he saved her. And when nannette attacked her he called her "Love" a few times. I like Roman and I've felt sorry for him since the first book, he keeps getting stuck with raw deal after raw deal. I wondered what would have happened if he would have told her he'll give everything up for her, before she made the phone call." Seth and Georgina weren't too close then and If that never happened I think Georgina could have fallin in love with Roman. I know somewhere they were saying how Nyx's premonitions were true but never the way you thought they would be. Everyone keeps thinking Seth is the guy, but what if that is the twist in the dream? There are still plenty more books to go and anything can happen? Carter: Well I agree that his feelings for georgina are more than they are supposed to be. Like the note that Roman wrote, Even an Angel would fall for you. (Or something like that) I definitely don't want to see Carter fall, maybe he could make a deal with god or something. I don't know, but I love Carter.

I know! that was sooo funny I love the whole book I think is mt fave out of the 4

Jill! I'm glad you found us in this thread!

Cody's adorable! I liked that, too.

Spoiler:

But what I liked more was when Georgie told *hurlGodIhatethatbeyotch!*Maddie that both of her dress choices were ugly. If it gets to the point that there is a wedding, like dimkaluv said, I hope she ends up with a dress that makes her look both short AND fat! LOL! Better still if it doesn't get to that point. But if it does, I also hope that Maddie is jilted, and then leaves their lives forever. I don't care where she ends up, Siberia, Timbuktu, or even dead...don't care. I just want her away from Georgie and Seth. Quote: That got me wondering if maybe carters job is to seek souls out for redemption. I'm wondering if all that might come into play at the end allowing Georgina to fulfill her dream. That's good thinking! Plus, I think Carter and Jerome were friends before Jerome fell. As you recall it was revealed in the first book, I think, that Jerome used to be an angel, but he fell (in more ways than one) for a mortal woman, the mother of Roman and his sister. (Why do I want to call her Helen?) I don't know if he can redeem Jerome. Jerome 'broke the rules' so to speak. But Georgie (and the others for that matter) sold their souls. They didn't really die and go to heaven to break any rules there, does that make sense? So maybe they are still redeemable? I did love that exchange at the end of SB between Georgie and Carter. It actually moved me to tears. Quote: So maybe there was someone that knew of her that she didn't know. Thus leaving a loop hole in the contract. Does that make sense? That could have been an easy subtle mistake to make. YES! That makes perfect sense! And it would explain why Niphon was freaking out. If it's ever discovered there's something wrong with the contract, not only would Georgie be released, but Niphon could end up getting smote! LOL! Quote: Erik, I first of all want to know what Nyx showed him. I'd like to think that when he does pass on he leaves his store to Georgie. Maybe with her new move she can transfer to Eriks store and work for him, and take care of him during his last few days. Then she can get away from Seth and Maddie. I do too! I wonder if RM will ever 'show' us? I don't know that Georgie will quit Emerald City bookstore. And I think everyone who has read this series thus far knows that Georgina can't keep away from Seth and vice versa. Seth is 100% addicted to Georgie. Sure, he went and proposed to that cow Maddie, but I'm certain even Stevie Wonder could see that it's insincere/'fake'. But I'm all in favour of her looking after Erik in his last days. I really do feel in my soul that Erik is going to pass away in either SS or the book after that. Quote: Honestly if I was Georgina I would just fire Maddie after all she has the authority, and I don't think Doug will mind getting rid of her either. I think in order for Seth the Mega hypocrite has to come clean to Maddie to untarnish his super nova soul. I don't necessarily like Maddie nor do I hate her.

The only true person to blame for that entire Seth and Maddie situation in Seth. He knew better, everyone else was a victim. I was honestly expecting Maddie to walk in on them having sex a few times in SH. I like the idea of her finding Georgina's pictures. Not a bad idea. But on what grounds would Georgie fire Maddie? She practically promoted her to assistant manager! UGH! And by firing her, wouldn't that drive Seth to 'comfort' her? I dunno. But I will agree that while I like Seth and think he belongs with Georgie, he is a hypocrite. To save his soul, he does have to come clean...but I don't want him to. I think it's way more hurtful to Maddie to have her catch Seth and Georgie together. In a way I was HOPING for her to catch them. And yes, I think it's gotta happen that she finds the pics of Georgina. Absolutely. Even better would be also finding evidence that he 'enjoyed' the photos, if you know what I mean. *wink* I guess you are right that Maddie would never have touched Seth if she knew he was in a relationship especially with Georgie. And that's partially G & S's own faults too...Why the hell didn't they ever 'go public'? I don't get that. Quote: I don't think Seth will go through with the wedding, only because he believes in honesty and communication in a relationship so what he and Maddie have had from the very beginning started on lies and deceit. I think Roman can't necessarily kill georgina but is still sour about that situation, and might open his big mouth about the affair just to throw a wrench in Georgina's life. You're right about the wedding. But could you explain more about what you were saying about Roman? I don't fully understand. What is he sour about? (And no, I'm not ready to re-read the books yet. Those books got me all wound up and stressed!) Quote: I do wonder if he still has loving feelings for Georgina because when he was following her he could have let the guy rape her but he saved her.

Seth and Georgina weren't too close then and If that never happened I think Georgina could have fallin in love with Roman. Why don't I remember a guy going to rape Georgina? You have an interesting take on Roman. Towards the end of SB, he creeped me out. He seemed like a stalker. And having been stalked before, I didn't like Roman after that point. I was frankly shocked to see him back and to help her but still threaten that he wanted to kill her. I didn't like that. And I so don't understand why Georgina would ever want to take him under her roof knowing that!! Ain't no way in hell I'd help out my stalker-ex that way. Hell I wouldn't even piss on him if he were on fire. Quote: I know somewhere they were saying how Nyx's premonitions were true but never the way you thought they would be. Everyone keeps thinking Seth is the guy, but what if that is the twist in the dream? There are still plenty more books to go and anything can happen? You've got that right! RM is a 'mistress of surprise'! Only she knows what's in store for us in the next 2 or 3 books.

Here's a group question, not too spoilery I don't think. Now we all know that RM has planned an end to this series, either 6 or 7 books. The question is, do you think she should do spin-offs of the characters in Succubus like she is planning to do for VA? OR just leave it? Would you buy spin-off series?

I know I would. I love these characters. The only spin-off series I WOULDN'T get is a Maddie centred one. Ick. No!

lmao! I dont think she'll do a maddie spin off....ever....it'll be a waste of time and money

Good god. If there was a spin off about Maddie... That would be the shortest, most terrible series ever. lol "Today I went shopping. I couldn't find anything that fit my fat ass. I think I'll go write a feminist article about how evil the fashion industry is. The end."

However, if it was a spin off on....say, the vampires? Hellz yeah I'm game.

However, I don't think RM will do a spin off on Succubus, though it's a damned shame. lol But after Succubus, I sure as hell would love to see another series as good as Georgina's from her. Maybe this time it could be from a male perspective though. RM writes the most awesomest guys. lol

That's exactly what I was thinking, I mean Carter has to have some divine mysterious mission and well the group he hangs out with, Peter, Cody, Hugh, Georgina, And Jerome are all demons yes but they all have good hearts and do their best to walk a straight path, as much as possible.





What I meant by that is well we all know Georgina is going to do her best to stay out of the way from Seth and Maddie. She is going to help Maddie plan out the wedding. I think Georgina's intentions will be good and by removing herself from temptations she can go help Erik run his store and take care of him. Not permanently. She is going to try and do the right thing by Seth and Maddie.Just because that's the kind of person she is. She has to make up for her giult as well.



About firing Maddie I was just saying if I were put in that position I probably would. Or I'd at least delegate the crappiest jobs to her and make work miserable for her. I know Georgina's character wouldn't do that, that is just something I would do. lol.
('') And yes I know what you mean about finding Seth enjoyed the pictures. You meant publishing them right? J/K Yeah they might be a little sticky.



What I meant was Roman still wants to kill Georgina but he made a deal with Jerome so now he can't. He traded that amongst other things for amnesty. He is still mad at Georgina, and knows about her and Seth/s affair while she was in stasis. Roman could be the one that outs their sexcapades to Maddie, just to get back at Georgina. It would cause strife in her life and she would lose Maddie as a friend.


Yeah when Georgina was investigating who could have summoned Jerome a guy was trying to rape her and Roman set the gas stove on fire, to protect her. Nothing serious would have happened like she obviously wouldn't have been killed, just taken advantage of. Roman could have just stood by and let that happen but instead, he got her out of the situation. That's why a part of me still think he does care for her in his own twisted way. Yeah I agree I don't know why she let him move in with her, she could have put her foot down in the beginning. She kept saying she didn't want to bother Jerome at the time. What ever I would have just kicked Roman's freeloading ass out to the curb.


I hope there's 3 more books, I don't want the series to end. I don't know if I'd need anyone else point of view. But if Rm went that route I would deffinately read them.
