'' | ''The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on [http://www.succubus.net/blog/2016/04/05/a-review-of-the-the-summoning-series-by-kad-aver/ April 5, 2016]'' | ||
Adriana finds a book, sees it as a joke and finds that she has summoned an incubus and then things go downhill from there. | |||
I will draw attention to the summary of this work and the warning the author gives. This work is, quite simply filled with over the top violence, cardboard characters and a plot that only serves to drive the horror aspects of the story onwards. There’s nothing, at least for me, attractive in the work at all and it is, quite possibly, the most violent 11 pages that I have read in some time. | |||
The incubus isn’t named, only referred to as “Incubus” and in that being the case, there’s really a barrier built up that allows for the wide range of quite awful things that occur to Adriana in the work. The plot is quite direct in its intentions, there’s no room for character development, or anything else really, save getting to the horror aspects of the plot and mixing them with some tepid erotica to try to bring some heat into things. | |||
I expect, for some that enjoy horror that is violent and has some questionable erotica along for the ride, this might be something they will enjoy. However, I can’t say that. I need story, there isn’t much of one, I need characters to care about, I didn’t, and when it comes to heat, it’s nice to have, but mixing violence into that, and to the extreme at times, doesn’t work for me. | |||
I’ll give this work zero pitchforks out of five. | |||
