Succubus in the City by Nina Harper

My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I gave this book until well beyond the midpoint, but I cannot bring myself to finish it completely.

The repetition was endless. It was like all of sex in the city was boiled down into a super concentrated syrup that was impossible to swallow and extremely unpalatable.

I promise. You can tell me something ONCE and I will be able to retain that information through an entire BOOK. Give me a recap if there's a series and this is the second book. I don't need a recap of anything from page one on page TWO.

Interesting premise with the different types of succubi and with the Devil being female (and literally wearing Prada). The constant repetition of just how high class they all are, how down to earth Satan (Martha) is, how they are at the forefront of every trend and trendy hot spot, and always wearing the height of high fashion was mind-numbing.

If all the excess was edited down to the parts that actually established and furthered the plot, there wouldn't be much over a single chapter left.
