Plot Summary
Being the Devil’s most trusted guard, Donovan Weaver had two tasks: 1) Guard Olivia, future Queen of the Underworld, and 2) Never touch her. He failed on both accounts.
Donovan: I fell in love with the right girl at the wrong time. After the Devil found out what I’d done, he cursed me to a life of being an incubus and stealing women’s souls through their dreams. He knew touching another woman would be torture for me and was kind enough to bestow the curse of it for eternity. But then, I see her in a dream. The woman I lost all those centuries ago when the Devil cast her out. She doesn’t know who I am, but that won’t stop me. I want my girl back and will stop at nothing to get her. Even if it means killing her.
Olivia: Life has never been easy for me. Constantly bullied by my peers and labeled an outcast, my dreams are my only escape. They’re the place he is. Donovan, the beautiful man who comes to me in my sleep. Who holds me and loves me without question. Who seems so familiar to me for reasons I cannot fathom. But he’s just a dream. And I can’t sleep my life away. When memories of a time long past begin to resurface, it takes everything I have not to do the unthinkable. Because I love him. And I’m willing to do what it takes to get him back. Even fight the Devil.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on October 25, 2020
The Devil plays with souls and for Donovan and Olivia, that game has been going on… forever. But the truth will come out, the choices will be ,made and not even the Devil can stop two souls finding their love once more.
The work is a fantasy adventure set in a modern age with quite a lot of romance along the way. Well written, the story has depth and tells of the fates of the main characters well, if being so dearly complicated and lost much of the time. The heat carries throughout between the main characters in a romantic way that was a delight by far.
Donovan, the incubus of the story is very much a tragic soul forced into being an incubus. He is an incubus, there’s no question of that, but at the same time it is in a way that crushes him and makes him seek out what is missing within him. once the main characters are joined in the story, he becomes something more than he was, the personality within is more clear, focused, and it’s a change that added a lot to him.
Three out of five pitchforks.
The story ends on a cliffhanger, which obviously was to lead into the next work of the series, but that never happened. As such the ending is sad, forlorn and sort of at a pause. Not quite the fairytale ending desired. but at the same time, it offers things to think about. Some of them are quite… interesting. Especially for Olivia herself.
