A page turner?
Well, I was skipping over the boring parts (like near the end when she searches for anyone who could be considered a "boyfriend", to make sure they're safe). But, there were also times when I could barely put the book down.
Decent confrontations, characterization, and mysteries both small and large. The series driving mystery is "how does a succubus settle down with someone she loves without draining away his life force??". She gets cryptic hints from a cryptic angel that happiness is possible.
I liked that angel, and might miss him if I don't return to the series.
Sometimes a good read is based on vicarious wish fulfillment. Who wouldn't want to be the center of attention, with succubus charisma? Never aging immortality and shape-changing sound good too, except for the damnation part. That's kind of a drag. The "damning mortals" part reduced my interest in the main characters and her friends.
In the end though, soap operas aren't my thing. It's a story of small time social interactions. A bad date matters more than the main character getting whooped in fights. We don't get to see the climatic battle, since the succubus is kissing and not paying attention.
