Plot Summary

Aston's a succubus, possessing the hot body of a gorgeous librarian, but when she meets Dr. John Papavero, she knows she's found a new meal ticket. Sneaking into his dreams at night, she drives him wild. What she doesn't know is that the good doctor is slowly becoming a vampire. Two hungers cancel each other out...right?


Book Review

The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on June 5, 2018


Ashton has a real issue and part of that is her being a succubus. Her hunger pulls at her and finding a doctor to assist her, in ways he cannot understand, seems to be the solution. The problem is that John is a vampire, and he has his own problems too.

The work is a somewhat odd, slowly ramping up story of need and desire wth a bit of succubus and vampire aspects tossed in to add spice and mystery overall. Overall it is an interesting story with quite a lot of very dry humour as the story connects the main characters together.

The erotic aspects have some lovely heat, but overall what really tells the story is the problems that both characters have, and their struggles with them. It’s past the climax and into the close of the storm where things turn that little bit more delightful and hopeful and that I did rather enjoy.

Ashton, the succubus of the story, is a bit more a spirit than really a succubus, mostly as she is possessing the body of another. But her succubus nature, to travel in dreams, the need to feed, and so on which tell of her succubus aspects, but there’s more than that. She is a very complicated character with an even more complicated past and being so that comes out in her personality that amused me to no end.

Three out of five pitchforks.

it’s a very odd sort of succubus story really, mainly in that while there are succubus aspects to what unfolds, it’s less about that than it is of gathering the threads of what might follow than anything else. The story ends in a way that points at a following story, but it, and the series, did not continue and that’s a shame really. It would have been interesting to see where things went from here, the dry humour along would have been well worth that by far.
