Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on February 26, 2021
Lexi’s relationship has been abusive for far too long. A chance look in the mirror reveals a way to escape, but with a price. What Sera offers might seem a gift, but what is the price of making a deal and where will that take you?
The story focuses mainly on Lexi trying to come to terms with Sera, the succubus of the work, as she escapes into Lexi’s world. There are some difficult themes encountered, shifting from very bad relationships to questions about the lives that flow around the main characters. Lexi is not so much lost as finding a way out from where she was to something more, Sera being the path which at first spirals upwards before turning rather dark and foreboding,
Sera isn’t a stereotypical succubus, but she is something unique and her actions, mostly positive at first, soon give way to a darker need which overall works well. It does leave a bit to be desired in her character as the story is told from Lexi’s viewpoint. This leaves a lot of questions behind that aren’t really answered.
A bit lost in the story telling and perhaps it’s too quick in how things unfold. The story is interesting, but it just feels like the dialogue and events are short and a bit unpolished. The idea of the story I think could use more exposure than it gets.
I think there’s a story to follow this one, the ending is a bit vague and does make me wonder what comes next. I think I have an idea, but it would be interesting to see if I’m right or not. The hints are there, but the ending just leaves the story with too many loose ends.
Three out of five pitchforks.
There’s something missing in the storytelling which leaves things too rushed and a bit unfinished. As a story about a different sort of succubus, it does have it’s moments to tell and that makes it more than what it seems to be.
