Plot Summary
With no job prospects in sight, recent college grad Cade is stuck at home at his parents’ house for the summer. They’ve gone off on a three-month-long cruise, but they’ve left behind a list of strict rules and the ghost of their disappointment. Cade, who has taken his failure to secure a position hard, plans to spend all summer answering job listings.
The incubus stalking the neighborhood, however, has other plans. When he sets his sights on Cade, it’s a mental and physical tug-of-war that they’re both in for, with Cade’s human brain and body no match for the pushy demon. Cade thinks his best bet is to persuade the incubus to leave him alive once he’s done with him, but does the demon whispering sweet nothings into his ear want more than a meal?
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on August 14, 2018
Cade just doesn’t know what to do with himself, but Querulus, being an incubus might have some plans for him that Cade can’t resist.
The work is a very short, what I call a pamphlet, male/male erotic hot flash with a strong domination and submission theme wrapped around an incubus encounter. The characters and story have their moments and are interesting, if overall having a bit of an odd tone as things develop.
There’s something of a missing part in the story for the main character, they are lost, which is central to the story, but at the same time it feels like there’s something needing to be said that isn’t and I don’t know why that edge wasn’t explored.
The erotica has light heat, though the domination aspects felt a bit over the top at times and that bothered me. There’s also a lot of emotional shifts across the spectrum that should have been explored, but were not.
Querulus, the incubus of the work, is just on the edge of being stereotypical and that’s mainly in his being so very domineering. He is interesting at times, but then does something so very odd or very out of place and much of what was built to that point about him gets taken away, That’s a shame because there’s something interesting here, and given more time to explore both characters, this could have been a much better read.
Two and a half out of five pitchforks.
It’s an interesting story, the characters have their moments much as the story does. But there is a dark edge to how things developed that felt somehow odd. The work could use another editing pass on the dialogue and perhaps a better closing than this has if for no other reason that hope alone here feels like that’s not enough.
