Favorite Quote: I had my Zane back.
Jackie, a succubus is happy, or as happy as she can be with her lover and vampire/fallen angel Zane out of her life for the past six months. She still has her angel Noah to take care of her sexual needs (she needs to have sex every two days) and almost feels content, as she pursues archaeology with Noah by her side. But Jackie’s life is never stable and soon it starts to fall apart. First Noah proposes marriage – and while Jackie likes Noah, she is not sure she wants to spend the rest of her immortal existence with him. But before she can even process that she finds out the demon Joachim has overtaken her best friend Remy again, and this time he is as powerful as ever. Before she can rush home to help her friend, her and Noah are arrested by the Serim Council for previous misdeeds.
To save herself, Jackie makes a deal with the Serim to bring the halo of power (which Joachim has) back to the council. After she leaves Noah, still imprisoned by the council, by the luck of the draw she finds Zane. Together, along with some new friends, they must track down Remy, save her from her demonic possession, and Jackie must decide between her golden angel Noah, or her dark lover Zane.
My Fair Succubi is book three is Jill Myles’ Succubus Diaries series. I really enjoyed this book. Looking back on this series, I had a rough start with Jackie in Gentlemen Prefer Succubi, but Jackie and this series has really grown on me. Jackie is a lot to take in –and I just think it took a book or two for me to come to appreciate her – but I honestly have no complaints about her in this book. I think Jackie is still the same person as in book one, but the people surrounding her and her growing relationships with them have really endeared her to me.
Jill Myles has done a really great job with the love triangle throughout the series. She keeps it on edge enough so you can’t help but root for both guys, but at the same time, as the events unfold they make sense. As the series has progressed, Jackie has relied on each of them so much, not wanting to be a total slut and knowing that to stay sane, she must scratch her itch every few days. Jackie wants to be a moral succubus, and that means she has to use Noah and Zane. She struggles with her actions and it creates a nice dynamic. The sex scenes are very hot and the book, like the first two takes on a lighter tone. BFF Remy is back with some very funny lines, and a new character Ethan is introduced. A bodyguard type for the Council, he soon switches to Jackie’s side – but he is not quite used to interacting with people – especially a sexual succubus. His awkward demeanor is quite amusing.
Besides the romance, the action in this one is non-stop and we learn a lot of history about Zane, Noah and why Jackie was turned into a succubus. I wasn’t expecting that storyline but it provides a nice conflict between the three of them.
I love how the ending is wrapped up, yet also leaves room for more books. I am very happy we will be seeing more adventures from Jackie. This is definitely a series that grows on you and leaves you with some very memorable characters.

My Fair Succubi
The scene with Zane's hand was my favorite. Jill is so naughty! lol
omg..I loved that scene!!!!
Out of all the books, this was my least favorite..the beginning was just slow and made it hard for me to really get into the story. It was dangerously close to being a dnf for me, and I love Jill Myles.
Great review Mandi. I need to give this series another try.
read this book and I haven't read the previous book and found it to okay .
I agree with you Mandi, I love this series and I think Jill does a great job keeping you on edge…and I so adored Ethan!
I agree with KB love the *coughs* self pleasure scene. Zane and Jackie sizzled in this one.
I need these books..badly! But hihi, I lent book 1 to a friend who loved it too so she might just buy book2 and 3 before I have time to
Fab review! Really looking forward to reading this one! :)
This is actually the only book in the series I've read and I really enjoyed it. Great review.
Great review, I have noticed several other bloggers write reviews on this very book and have placed on my TBR list. I've got plenty of reading in my future. Haha.
Colette – I've heard a couple of people say the book was slow until Remy makes an appearance…
Tori – yes you do :) I had trouble with book one too..but glad I kept going!
Julie – Oh cool..I wasn't sure if it would read well as a standalone
Lizzie – Ethan made this book..such a fun addition..LOL
KC – LOVE that scene. I can't believe Jackie actually did that ;p
(Okay – maybe I can)
Blodeuedd – I have a friend who has my first bk in this series too ;p
Lily – Hope you enjoy!
Melissa – I'm glad it read well as a standalone!
Deanna – that TBR list is getting pretty big I think ;)
*Perks* self pleasure scene?
Thank you Mandi. (And yes, I read the review even though I know I'm not going to read the book. Me + succubi do not compute :)
Someone please help me get over my aversion to First Person narrative…I just HATE IT. And I know I miss some good books.
I'm with you Mandi… I really, really liked this book and loved how Jill put it all together.
My favorite – Noah going all Dom on Jackie in the beginning – HOT!!
and Jackie and Zane… HOT… damn, I still love them both!!
Mandi, my TBR list is getting rather long…could you start writing reviews on books you hate?! LOL, ok not really but the more books you write about, and with how not-so-picky I am, I'm setting myself up to add about every single book to my list!
