Plot Summary
An enticing succubus with a ravenous and unsated hunger catches wind of the most alluring aroma she’s caught in decades–the scent of viciously repressed desire.
Eve Mavka follows her newly intended prey, playing an indecent game of cat and mouse with an unsuspecting Catholic priest. Father Dean isn’t prepared for the battle of restraint and carnal hunger as Eve haunts his dreams night after night, bleeding into days where visions of her consume him. She desecrates the sacred and embodies the profane, yet with each tantalizing encounter, Eve unravels the rigorous self-discipline keeping the priest from succumbing to her sensual charm in a game he’s destined to lose.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on September 14, 2025
Not everything is what it seems at first. Eve is beautiful, her power and presence without question, her true nature as a succubus held in the shadows. Dean’s truth is caught in promises of the past, and the regrets he carries with him. Two broken souls seeking something, but neither expecting the truth.
The work is an erotic romance mixed with some BDSM and domination themes that are all centred around the main character being a succubus. It’s a very richly told story, the passions are both raw and demanding in the characters. Very much a character development story, it’s that slow burn realization of what each needs that carries the story along towards the very telling close.
The heat in the erotica is quite well told, the passions between Dean and Eve smoulder, burst into flame, and then transform towards the next encounter and revelations. It’s never sex for the sake of it, there’s a purpose to the entanglements that happen. The BDSM and female dominance aspects are not over the top or feel wrong either. Everything has meaning and how that all comes together matters a great deal.
The two succubi of the work, Davina and Eve, are sensual and erotic in their nature, their human forms being reflections of their succubus ones. Their powers seep through the story, walking in dreams, having wings, horns and tail, but at the same time they are not evil. It’s the aspect of them being somewhere between angel and devil that attracted me the most and I wish that had been explored more than it was.
With everything that happened to Dean and Eve as well as Davina, the ending was something of a disappointment. A single sentence to put into words the climax of the work felt so much like it shouldn’t have been. An epilogue of some kind, to show what happened after, their love and lives together would have, I feel, been more telling overall.
Four out of five pitchforks.
An emotionally draining work, so very much a page turner and honestly one of the more unique stories about succubi that I have read in some time. I would have liked more to be told about succubi, there’s a very interesting note that Eve makes about them. It would be nice to see a follow on work, to focus on Davina and tell her story as deeply as Eve’s though.
