Plot Summary
A month away from their wedding, Shawn and Kayla find the perfect place to live. The house must wait to be christened until later, however — the engaged couple are saving themselves for marriage. Or so they thought. An unknown and malevolent entity soon invades the couple's home, tricking them, seducing their souls, and fulfilling its wicked desires through their eager flesh. Are they doomed to remain playthings for the devil, or will they break free from the dark spell they're under?
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on March 14, 2021
A new home, a new life together, the promise of their future just ahead. But there’s a devil in the details and two souls may never find their way out of that grasp.
The work is a very short erotic horror story which has a succubus-like being controlling, or manipulating, the main characters through shapeshifting and dream walking to get between the two and turn them both into her playthings for a darker purpose.
For the most part, the story leans on the erotic aspects with an undercurrent of impending evil that slowly grows until the climax of the story arrives. It’s a bit rote in how that happens, there’s a rush to get to that happening at a few points. While there is some explanation given by a third character, it’s a bit thin overall and perhaps more time spent in the two main characters getting to understand what was happening might have added some depth to things.
The succubus of the work, who is never named, is very evil and manipulative of both main characters. She’s something of a puppeteer for the most part until she finally appears and is every bit the evil creature she’s expected to be. It’s a bit of a shame that she’s somewhat stereotypical in that, more that there’s so very little told by her or fleshed out about her character than being the evil she is.
Three pitchforks out of five.
The work is somewhere between a horror story and an erotic one, the two get mixed up and tangled into one anther. The ending of the story bothered me, it felt out of place and, honestly, jump scares just feel wrong as a way to close out a story.
