Mariana Piroteală Livres

Recounts the author's 1933 journey down the Danube to Budapest and then across the Hungarian Plain into Transylvania

Some days, a girl just can't catch a break... ...especially when the girl in question is Georgina Kincaid, a shape-shifting succubus who gets her energy from seducing men. First there's her relationship with gorgeous bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, which is unsatisfying on a number of levels. It's not just that they can't have sex in case Georgina inadvertently kills him (generally a turn-off for most guys). Lately, even spending time together is a challenge. Seth's obsessed with finishing his latest novel, and Georgina's under demonic orders to mentor the new (and surprisingly inept) succubus on the block. Then there are the dreams. Someone, or something, is preying on Georgina at night, draining her energy, and supplying eerie visions of her future. Georgina seeks answers from Dante, a dream interpreter with ties to the underworld, but his flirtatious charm only leaves her more confused-especially as the situation with Seth reaches crisis point. Now Georgina faces a double challenge-rein in her out-of-control love life, and go toe-to-toe with an enemy capable of wreaking serious havoc among mankind. Otherwise, Georgina, and the entire mortal world, may never sleep easy again...

Georgina Kincaid est succube a Seattle. A priori un choix de carrière plutôt sympa : la jeunesse éternelle, l'apparence de son choix, une garde-robe top-niveau et des hommes prêts à tout pour un simple effleurement. Pourtant, sa vie n'est pas si glamour : pas moyen de décrocher un rancard potable sans mettre en péril l'âme de l'heureux élu. Heureusement, elle est libraire, et son travail la passionne ! Livres à l'oeil, moka blanc à volonté... et la possibilité d'approcher le beau Seth Mortensen, un écrivain irrésistible qu'elle rêve - mais s'interdit - de mettre dans son lit. Mais les fantasmes devront attendre. Quelqu'un s'est mis en tête de jouer les justiciers dans la communauté des anges et démons. Bien malgré elle, Georgina est propulsée au coeur de la tourmente. Et pour une fois, ses sortilèges sexy et sa langue bien pendue ne lui seront d'aucun secours
