Plot Summary

My name is Luka Hawthorne, and I am an Incubus: otherwise known as the ultimate sexual predator. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t realize this until the night I accidentally killed someone, thereby changing my life forever.

Stricken with grief, and terrified that I will go to jail, I pack my bags with the intent to leave town when a mysterious stranger knocks on my door. Claiming to know not only who I am, but what I am, he offers me a choice: to seek asylum within an elite paranormal facility known as the Agency, or to go free and live my life on the run.

He claims that I can’t control my instincts—that I will only leave more bodies in my wake--and that the Agency can help me learn to control my powers.

My only concern is that this whole thing may be a trap.

Book Review

The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on March 9, 2018

Life takes a turn when Luka kills someone he was intimate with and all hell breaks loose. Taken away and told he is an incubus, Luka must come to terms with what he has done, what he is, and what, exactly, will be his future.

The work is a very complicated story of self-discovery, both in the main characters self, but also in being an incubus. As that unfolds, there’s side plots that fall around him which reveal a larger threat to all, and decisions need to be made. There is a good deal of mystery, adventure, action and a bit of kindling towards romance as well which keep things moving at a rapid pace.

There are a few m/m erotic scenes which aren’t over the top of feel out of place, save for one with a Minotaur that bothered me a bit, mostly in that it didn’t feel true to the main character.

Luka, the incubus of the story, reminds me a bit of the arc that Bo from Lost Girl took in trying to figure out their powers. He’s not stereotypical, or evil. For that matter, the description of him being an incubus, his powers and so on, is taken at a clinical level with a bit of lore around the edges. In doing so, there’s quite a lot of mythos created and hinted at, but that’s not really explored too deeply as the story itself wasn’t mean to do so.

A very dearly sad and emotionally draining story, Luka’s path is so very lost and it takes so many odd turns and twists along the way. That’s all part of the drama, it does make some sense, but there’s a disconnect that happens which still bothers me. I wish there had been more told about succubi and incubi than there was, the facts are so very shrouded and left me wishing there had been just a bit more time taken to discover what that was.

Three and a half out of five pitchforks.

The work ends in a place that is as dark as the beginning, but that is part and parcel of the story and there was no getting away from that. How things end left a path towards another story, but if that was supposed to happen, it never did. More’s the shame it didn’t.
