Plot Summary
Reina is a highly introverted young woman with body issue images. She has a skin condition that causes acne like bumps on her arms and she believes that her slowly growing breasts are too big for her small slender body. She covers herself in baggy clothing to hide her "flaws." An accident involves her blood to be infected with that of a succubus and she immediately realizes how little she has to be ashamed of. As her confidence grows and minor flaws disappear, she has a new outlook on life. However, she quickly realizes this comes at a price and the demon inside her wants to be fed.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on June 29, 2018
Life for Reina generally sucks, and it does not look like it’s gong to get any better. An accident starts her transformation into being a succubus, and with that comes a new Reina with a new outlook and new desires.
The work is a well told story of succubus transformation, but it is also very much a character development story as well. It’s thoughtful, well considered, and overall there’s a lot for the main character to deal with as things change for her. There are some lovely erotic moments with some really well told heat as well. It’s just a lot of fun to see the characters interact, especially between Reina and the succubus that put her into this situation, Tadra.
The snark between the two is just fun, the issues they have to sort out are not easy ones and it adds a lot to their relationship and what comes as a result of it. It’s very much a coming of age story with twist in the tail that works really well overall.
Tadra, the succubus of the story, isn’t evil, but she has opinions, can be so very snarky and I thought she was a lot of fun. A bit over the top at some points, she does come to understand Reina’s issues and in time the two of them come to a resolution and as a pair of succubi, the climax of that relationship just really works out well.
Three and a half out of five pitchforks.
The work closes in an interesting place and it would be interesting to see where that would develop to. Reina’s transformation, in personality and character, was a delight and her succubus nature coming into the fore worked really well. It’s a very unique story, perhaps a little over the top here and there, but overall it is a fun and delightful read.
