The Georgina Kincaid series (''Succubus Blues'', ''Succubus on Top'' (titled ''Succubus Nights'' in the UK), ''Succubus Dreams'', ''Succubus Heat'', ''Succubus Shadows'', and ''Succubus Revealed''), written by Richelle Mead, are about the titular succubus in Seattle and her satanic peers, who are just a small corner of the [[CelestialBureaucracy Diabolical Bureaucracy]]. A lesser immortal, Georgina Kincaid works in a bookstore where she falls in love with a mortal man, a famous author named Seth Mortensen. This is while she is trying to avoid tempting good mortals to Hell but instead just focusing on the already bad ones.

This is while she is trying to avoid tempting good mortals to Hell but instead just focusing on the already bad ones.
The series chronicles her attempts to maintain her principles while finding herself, ironically, tempted to do things in order to be with her lover. [[CerebusSyndrome The series is notable for having a comic tone and growing increasingly darker as the series goes on]]. It is also rather subversive with the forces of Hell being treated as a group of harmless bureaucrats.
----
!!This series contains examples of:
* AffablyEvil: Jerome qualifies for this, being genuinely evil but also friendly and supportive.
* AllMythsAreTrue: An Indian deity, a Cthulhu-esque horror, and standard Heaven and Hell fair abound in this series.
* AnyoneCanDie
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Duane]] from the first chapter of ''Blues''.
* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler:Georgina is nearly raped in ''Heat'' after she becomes mortal again, and thus cannot shapeshift to overpower her attacker]]. Fortunately for her, a [[spoiler: handy explosion]] helps her escape.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Almost the entire cast of Hell's servants. Carter the Angel also may qualify being a chain smoking cool guy.
* BreakTheCutie: Georgina undergoes this after [[spoiler: Seth cheats on her with Maddie.]] She also goes into meltdown after [[spoiler:being tortured by the Oneroi.]] Also appears in almost all her back stories.
* CantHaveSexEver: Georgina's fundamental problem with Seth.
* CelestialBureaucracy: Hell has one of these. Heaven, ironically, is fairly loose about these things.
* CerebusSyndrome: Each book is darker than the previous.
* CharacterDevelopment: Georgina gets increasingly cynical and dark as the books go on.
* CoolOldGuy: Carter is an angel and Jerome is a demon [[spoiler:(and a fallen angel)]]. Thus they're older than any human. Erik could possibly count, too.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: One of the methods Georgia and Seth try using to get around their "no sex at all" problem -- they masturbate for each other.
* DepravedHomosexual: Inverted by the fact that the only one is [[spoiler: a right wing talk show host.]]
* DerailingLoveInterests: Justified with Seth. [[spoiler: He loses much of his goodly nature due to the affair Georgina starts with him.]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu:
** Georgina has a moment when she helps defeat Nyx [[spoiler: a being older than God.]]
** Georgina also [[spoiler: slew the god Soma, though it was only an avatar.]]
* DumbBlonde: [[TheDitz Tawny]]. Though, as a succubus, she's not always blonde.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Georgina manages to reclaim her soul and marry Seth for a happy ending... But it required a HeroicSacrifice from Roman, pissing off Hell in a major way, and tons of emotional turmoil for her and those near her.]]
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: Nyx.]]
* EvilPlan: There's a number of these in the books. In ''Succubus Dreams'' [[spoiler: Niphon allies with Nyx to drain the energy of Georgina and Tawny so the former can get recalled to the pits of Hell for incompetence. All the while encouraging Tawny to appear as simply a clueless fool.]] One of these also appears in ''Succubus Heat.''
* FallenAngel: Jerome, as well as other high demons, are fallen angels. (Jerome fell when he [[spoiler:fathered Roman with a human woman]], and [[spoiler:Yasmine]] falls in ''Dreams'' when [[spoiler:she kills Joel, a fellow angel, to save her Nephilim lover's life]]).
* {{Filler}}: Arguably, most of ''Shadows''.
* FirstGirlWins: [[spoiler:Subverted. Then played straight]].
* FunTShirt: Seth wears a lot of them.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Carter and Jermone seem to be close friends despite the whole war between Heaven and Hell thing.
* GreenEyedMonster: Georgina towards [[spoiler: Seth and Maddie.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Roman volunteers to be Georgina's lawyer as she appeals for the return of her soul, knowing he won't be leaving after he arrives.]]
* HornyDevil: Georgina. Later, Bastien and Tawny.
* IdiotBall: Unfortunately, Georgina runs with this a tad too often in ''Shadows''.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Georgina can have all the sex she wants, but her succubus nature makes it difficult for her to be in a loving relationship. She's so lonely she buys flowers for herself at one point.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Georgina often finds herself wishing she could be a human being again.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Georgina thinks she's not good enough for Seth and is going to end up hurting him, because she's hurt people in the past. That and she's a succubus, whereas he's a reserved and virtuous man.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Georgina tries (and fails) at this.
* {{Jerkass}}: Niphon and Joel.
* KickTheDog: Georgina herself gets a couple of these moments. In Book 1, she does this by [[spoiler: agreeing to actually work towards damning innocents again in order to be with Seth.]] In Book 4, she [[spoiler: cheats on her best friend Maddie with her ex-boyfriend Seth.]]
* KissOfDeath: Happens in ''Shadows'': In a flashback, Georgina gives one to her dying friend Luc, to save him from a slow, agonising death due to a stab wound to his stomach. In the present day, she does the same to [[spoiler:Erik]] after he is mortally wounded by a gunshot.
* HeroesWantRedheads: As a traditional succubus, Georgina is one of these.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Surprisingly done well. Basically, Georgina's desperate need for love requires her to do increasingly bad things to make her relationship with Seth work.
* LoveTriangle: Georgina/Seth/Roman initially. Later on, it became Georgina/Seth/[[spoiler:Maddie]].
* LukeIAmYourFather: Sort of - [[spoiler:Jerome]] is revealed to be [[spoiler:Roman]]'s father, but they both knew about it beforehand (everyone else - and the readers - did not).
* {{Masquerade}}: Justified in the fact that most of the immortals go out of their way not to do anything more than encourage mortals to be slightly more selfish than they already are.
* MindRape: [[spoiler:Happens to Georgina at the hands of the Oneroi]] in ''Shadows''.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Georgina starts as one of these. At the most, she moves up to a D-.

* OurAngelsAreDifferent
* OurDemonsAreDifferent

* OutWithABang: Georgina mentions at one point that it is possible for someone to die during sex with a succubus, if said succubus gets a bit ''too'' enthusiastic.
* PokeThePoodle: For demons, Georgina and company don't really do much in the way of evil. Georgina generally just encourages humans to have more sex.
** ''Succubus Heat'' has a group of Satanist losers even more pathetic than usual. Their idea of evil includes causing all of the televisions at Circuit City to play ''Rosemary's Baby.''
* PunchClockVillain: Hellish service in a nutshell. No one in Hell's service seems particularly ''malevolent''. They just go to work in order to maintain their immortality.

* RetGone: After she cheated on Kyriakos, leading to him crossing the DespairEventHorizon when he found out, Georgina [[DealWithTheDevil made a deal with Niphon]] to become a succubus in exchange for being erased from the memory of everyone who knew her.
* RomanticFalseLead: Roman. Later Dante and Maddie. Subverted in Book 4 [[spoiler: by the fact that Maddie wins Seth. It doesn't take.]]
* SexIsEvil: Georgina doesn't really do much except encourage people to get busy. It's better if they're cheating on their girlfriends or spouses but not really necessary. There's also the fact she's stealing bits of their life-force as she does it, though.
* ShapeshiftingSeducer
