I am still sitting the fence on getting this one or not... I loved Succubus Blues and I can't wait on the next one but I am torn on starting this wondering what it would be like.. 

Well, you know, I think it's a great book...I'm sure you'd love it...   ;D

*pouts*

Well, I guess it's not too long till the next book.  I'll try to keep my impatience at a reasonable level.   :D

Not long at all, I just realized.  Its official release is January, but Amazon claims they'll ship next week!

No actually I would have been worried if you hadn't commented on your book. I think I am going to order this one soon...for my Christmas break reading...

Well, I ordered it the 17th, but they're not shipping it...maybe, if I'm lucky and they don't use it as a stepstool...until Dec 24. When I ordered it, it said estimated delivery is Dec 24.

This is the second time in a row Amazon's dropped the ball for me, and my girlfriend's order for something that was released last week (and was pre-ordered) won't make Christmas either. I'm really starting to lose faith in them.

Update: ....and they ship it this morning, estimated delivery date the 29th (which is fine, given the holiday). Bizzare.

I finally found my time bubble to read all the books stacked up, still many left, but just finished Succabus Blues.   very impressive Richelle!  I get to cheat now and go directly out to find the sequel and not have to wait.

I found it fresh, inventive, sexy, and simply put enjoyable!  Thank you!

Just got Succubus Blues yesterday and started reading it: awesome stuff, and even though I'm only on the first chapter, I'm thinking Georgina is definately a galpal I'd love to have, if I ever fell into her world.

Had an unexpected day off from work (It snowed), so I stayed in bed all morning finishing this. And I have to admit, I hated to finish reading it! I'm *so* looking forward to the next book.

Richelle, I love your style, I love your characters (I know a guy who's so much like Christian, it's like seeing his vampire twin in the story, and he'd be flattered if he knew I said that; and Lissa reminds me a lot of myself, the way she pushes herself to the limits to help a friend, though I'd rather be a put-up-with-nothing tough girl like Rose), I love the setting, I love your take on the vampire mythos. I just love this book!

Hi all, is it romance heavy. The only romance filled novels are the outlander series which are good but have lots of adventures and what not....

if it was a question, romance heavy?  Then no---not at all.
