Plot Summary
A Murderous Seducer, A Vengeful Slut and a Supernatural Menace
In A Kiss Before Killing, readers meet Jane Black; a British secret agent known as the 'Black Widow.' Why? You'll soon find out, as she tracks down her prey in rural Colorado and makes sure her target goes out with a bang.
In Scandal in Chief, readers will be introduced to the beautiful Editor; who has gathered together in New York every high-powered man or woman who's ever tried to screw her out of a business deal - or just screw her. Over the course of one debauched evening, she'll figuratively and literally screw them right back; locking herself in a set of stocks that offers her exposed rear-end to any man or woman willing to pay for it.
And finally, in Reality's F**ked! readers will share the adventure as married couple Gina and Simon discover they've forgotten to pay their reality bill; and all hell breaks loose! With the rules of physics, logic and narrative continuity thrown out of the window, how will Gina and Simon survive the weekend - especially when it climaxes (literally) in a showdown with a well-hung, over-sexed, supernatural she-devil.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on April 30, 2019
The story Reality’s F**ked! in this collection has a bit of a succubus theme to it. In this story, Simon and Gina have a small problem: Their reality bill wasn’t paid and the impossible becomes possible. Be it science fiction becoming real, demons having their way, or a cat that has an attitude, that bill needs to be paid soon. But there’s still time for things to go a little bit weird. Or a lot weird.
The work reads very much like a mixture of anything written by Douglas Adams with a smattering of any one of a number of erotica writers. As such, there is a lot of name dropping, tropes and similar themes that result in a lot of situations that can’t help but be laughed at.
There’s a good deal of erotica in the work, but it’s not exactly filled with heat, tending towards something like a summary of some well-known porn movie themes mixed with a lot of hentai storylines. The focus of the work seems to be in the humour, which has its moments, but the erotica didn’t really work for me overall.
That then brings me to the succubus of the work. Who that is I’ll leave aside in this review, but it’s hilariously used. She’s very stereotypical, not having much in the way of personality as well. She’s a means to an end and not a lot more than that. Still, this isn’t meant to be a story with a lot of character development or meaning, it’s supposed to be a laugh and it is.
It’s a cute and funny story, but overall it really isn’t a story about succubi in any great way. Still the story was well told and it was a lot of fun to read. There’s a clear path towards another story set in this universe, but whether or not that happens, this was an interesting fun story. I just wish there’s be more succubi within the story than there is.
Two and a half out of five pitchforks.
If you like comedy in a Monty Python way, this work might interest you. From the aspect of being a story about succubi, it’s only barely so.
For the collection as a whole, two and a half out of five pitchforks as well.
Overall it’s quirky and a bit odd, though the stories do have their moments here and there.
