Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on October 15, 2017
Rosalia has a problem. It’s not being a vampire, she’s getting used to that. The problem is that someone wants her to steal something very unique for them. But then not all deals are as they seem, and this deal might become something far more problematic.
The work is mostly an action adventure with a main character that is a vampire, another character that is an incubus. It’s mainly focused on the adventure part of things, there’s no erotica, there’s no real appearance of the incubus to be one. It’s at most points a tease, drawn out, until the climax of the work takes the main character to the conclusion of the story.
Matej, the incubus of the work, is a fleeting presence. He is described as an incubus, he acts, to an extent, as an incubus, but he’s far more a tool for the story to use. Overall, he more fits being a evil henchman than anything else and just isn’t fleshed out very much.
It’s really not an incubus story, even if there is one to be found in the pages. The story is interesting, but it just doesn’t do much with the incubus other than what you might expect from a stereotypical one. Similarly there’s not much vampire in the work either and as a result, it’s a bit lost and seeking itself.
Two and a half out of five pitchforks.
It is interesting in concept, and this would be a good start to a longer story overall. but as it is, this is barely a story about a vampire and lesser so a story about an incubus. It could have been a lot more and it’s a shame it wasn’t.
