Plot Summary
The 17th century was a time just before the enlightenment, where superstition, and fear of dark magic and fear of witchcraft ran rampant. A time that seemed just right for the witch or succubus Jinx Blankley and her powers. The dread of dark magic usually reached its peak on All Hallows Eve. Her unorthodox lifestyle, has brought attention to her by the Coven High Council, and the entity, Ulrich, that controls the time and space in which Jinx is living. He has been sent to recruit her for a near impossible task. Ulrich is aware Jinx never turns down a challenge even if it means going head to head with Tiordan the executioner. Jinx is recruited to rescue Kaitlyn and Sarah, both lesbians, from the dangers that envelope them. Kaitlyn being pressured into suicide by the Corpusytes and Sarah being killed by her parents, at the behest of the Corpusytes. Jinx, spends a lot of time inside the dreams of the two girls, and through the power of suggestion enables the girls to experience lesbian sexuality, without any fear of reprisal. 17th century sensibilities would never accept two females having sex together. Jinx has her work cut out, first with Kaitlyn's mother Elspeth, the source of the pressure on Kaitlyn, by way of Tiordan. Jinx believes she needs to really stick it to Elspeth, to make her point and make her ease up on the pressure on the girl. Sarah's plight is much different, as she lives within a psychopathic family, where every member of the family would slice the other's throat for a new pair of shoes. Extraditing Sarah could be more of a problem. The question soon becomes, will Jinx repel the forces of Tiordan and make him retreat with his virtual tale between his legs, and provide a safe haven for Kaitlyn and Sarah.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on November 22, 2019
The work is a mixture of historical drama, passion and exploration with a bit of erotica tacked onto the side of the story here and there. It’s not really erotica overall, that is less important to the story and the characters coming to terms with themselves and all that happens in the story.
Jinx, who is described as being a succubus, at least in part, is a rather unique character in that respect. Here and there are aspects of her nature as a succubus, but it’s shaded behind a lot of other mythos and possibilities which make it an aspect in passing really. With that said, she is interesting, though as a succubus it feels like she leaves something to be desired.
Three out of five pitchforks.
The work is interesting and quite unique, the concepts and ideas which mix into Jinx’s nature seem to work well and make the story work overall. With tjat said, this is story with a succubus theme on the edges, really not a succubus story at the heart.
