Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on October 27, 2017
Sophie doesn’t think much of Halloween, but even so she goes with her friends out for the night. But a side trip into darkness brings Sophie into a game of cat and mouse and even if she’s waring a catwoman costume, she’s going to find herself the mouse.
The work isn’t honestly one in which an incubus appears with horns, tail and all. The ghost, and it is a ghost with a sad origin story, does have some aspects, there’s little doubt, but it doesn’t quite manage an interesting incubus. There’s nothing in the way of him being anything more than a means for the work to entwine Sophie in the midst of some supernatural erotica. Once that purpose has been completed, there’s nothing more for him and much can be said about the balance of the work.
It’s a shame because the underpinning story really could have turned things towards a possession or time travel story. There are some teneous hints of that in how Sophie is bound, maneuvered and given to a passion that consumes her. But it’s not really the core of where the story seems to want to go. At its core, the work rushes towards the hot flash of Sophie’s entwinement with the ghost incubus and I really didn’t see a lot of heat in that erotica.
The erotic scene is a bit harsh for my taste for one, but as well the narrative from Sophie sounds like she’s sitting in a coffee shop and relating her experience in a similar tone to reading a shopping list. The heat’s just missing overall and what heat there is gets somewhat smothered by things feeling rushed and uneven in tone.
The work needs to be expanded somewhat I think, mainly in adding heat to the erotica and changing Sophie’s tone. It’s a bit too monotone and adding heat to her words, at least allowing her to speak more when the incubus ghost has her, would help a lot.
Two and a half out of five pitchforks.
There is an incubus here, somewhere, but there’s so little in the way of he having something to say. Just hovering, moaning and then “possessing” Sophie to do his bidding seems to be missing a lot of story.
