Book Review

The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on September 18, 2016

Dox is Fae, her life wild and unrestrained. But a God finds and claims her, leaving her life changed and she not quite the same as she was. Still, she is who and what she is, which means she cannot help but do as she is asked in spite of what’s changed in her. Some needs are never fulfilled and some aches go on forever.

The main thing about this work that bothers me is that it’s unclear if Dox is a succubus or not. She loves sex, she tends to use sex magik and her need for sex is just about insatiable. Her thoughts mostly revolve around sex and as a whole she might well be a succubus, but that’s never stated. The closest the story comes to that is the telling of the beginning scenes which are called “Succubus Training.”

Throughout the story, Dox’s thoughts and actions are mainly on her need for sex, much else is tangential to that point. While that does, as a whole, help to define her character, drive her into some situations, one of which is with a certain Forest God that has his way with her, it tends to limit the storytelling for the sex scenes.

Outside of the sex, when there are moments told about the world she lives in, the Fae around her, there’s a strong hint of Lost Girl that nibbled at my thoughts much of the time. Beyond Dox herself it seems like every character in the story is looking to have sex with her, in as many ways as possible. This creates a sexually charged universe which seems to like BDSM themes overall. That telling works, overall, even if some events are pushing the boundaries of suspension of disbelief.

A stumbling point is how the story goes from scene to scene, almost snapping from one sex encounter to a bridge story, then snapping into another sex scene. The story doesn’t flow so much as rush headlong towards the next bit of sex as quickly as possible. Again, this is mainly because Dox needs sex, needs it dearly and so it makes sense for her. But as a narrative I think a bit more “rest” between the erotica, to tell more story, would have made this a better read.

There are a scattering of editing flaws in the work. such as using “You’re” when “Your” is correct. There is story beneath the erotica, which does come out from time to time, but as a whole the sex takes precedence. Dox herself is interesting, but whether she is a succubus or not is unclear, for one, and for another, if she is a succubus, then it would have been good to know what her powers, and effects when she feeds, exactly are.

There’s a lot of questions unanswered in the story, it ends on a cliffhanger as well. There’s really no clear note from the author if there will be another work, if this is a series or not. If so, then I’d hope for more story about Dox and her past. There’s a good deal of mystery around her to explore, beyond the sex she has.

Two pitchforks out of five.

Show me a succubus in this story, a clear one, and I’ll be a lot more interested than I was. Tell more story than sex would also be good. Most of all, the mysteries of this story’s universe need to be explored and drawn out. We’ll see if a series comes from this, or if this was just mainly about Dox cumming.
