Series Description or Overview[]

✥ Amber’s succubus desires are driving her, as well as every man within a five mile radius, crazy – and, Irix, the sexy incubus sent to tutor her, isn’t helping one bit. Determined to find some balance in her life as well as get away from his tempting presence, she escapes to visit a college friend in New Orleans.

But the Big Easy is anything but peaceful. Two powerful witch covens are battling for control of the mighty river and the potent ley lines that run through the city. Amber discovers her half-elven heritage may just resolve their differences, but the covens have other, more lethal, ideas. She knows she can restore the elemental energy to balance, but it’s not easy to play peacemaker when her succubus side wants to drown the whole city in a tide of lust.

The tensions between the covens aren’t her only trouble. There’s nowhere Amber can run to escape the siren-call of her demon nature, and no where she can run to escape the seductive incubus who won’t seem to take “no” for an answer. ~ Half-Breed Series | Debra Dunbar

Protagonist[]

Amber: Despite being a demon, she's a most reluctant demon and succubus. Amber has only known what she is for roughly six months. All of her life, she's been under the impression she is human. Just your basic, average human complete with some "quirks". She's a love 'em and leave 'em type, never entering in a long-term relationship because something always holds her back. Some light is shed on her situation when it's revealed she isn't what she thought. Turns out, dear old Amber is a half-breed. The product of an elf and a succubus mating. She embraces her elf side just fine with her love of nature and her overall sweet disposition, it's the demon half that gives her trouble. She isn't comfortable with the whole succubus thing; taking a part of someone each time she has sex with them and potentially ruining them for life isn't what she signed up for. Problem is, she needs that in order to survive and thrive. ~ Goodreads | Meigan

She is certainly a work in progress as the story goes on. Not only is she dealing with other big bad demons, she is warring with the “demon” inside of herself. She learns to embrace both her demon powers as well as her elf powers. ~ Book Briefs

She was not lacking for morals and held fast to her inherent virtues stemming from her Elven nature. This did not, however, do anything to dampen her fiery attitude and sexy Succubus persona. She was loyal and protective to a fault; she would risk herself without hesitation for those she considered hers; her family and close friends. Amber was able to adapt to every situation and trial thrown at her, and she never gave up when New Orleans needed her most, giving her all to do what she could. She is definitely a role model type character. ~ Goodreads | Grace Touch

Irix: sweet and funny incubus extraordinaire. Irix was sent by momma Leethu to help guide Amber in the ways of the sex demon. Problem is, Amber finds herself attracted to him...and only him. That throws a wrench in her lessons; she can only think of him and every other male pales in comparison. Amber heads to New Orleans in order to escape Irix and clear her head. What she didn't count on is Irix being there at the same time. ~ Goodreads | Meigan
