Plot Summary
Iris is a very special type of witch--one with demon blood in her veins. As a succubus, her spells sometimes require a very special, sexy ingredient--and she intends to get it from the tall, dark, and handsome vampire she meets at the club.
Cameron barely needs his vampire "glamour" to subdue his prey, but he'll be turning it on full force tonight--he's determined to be the one who's going to seduce her, not the other way around. Seducing a succubus is the type of challenge he hasn't had in centuries.
Whichever one of them succeeds at earning the sexy submission of the other, it's going to be one steamy encounter.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on November 29, 2016
Iris is a witch and she’s also partly a succubus. Being of two natures, it’s been hard on her. But a promise from her coven leads to Iris being on the prowl for a lover. Cameron seems a good catch, but when a vampire and a succubus collide in a battle of dominance, who wins and who loses. Are they both the same?
The work seems to offer a lot of promise in the beginning in that Iris is interesting, her relationship with her coven brings some conflict. While Iris is partly a succubus, the only aspects that appear are her physical beauty and a talent to bring out lust in others. Beyond that, her succubus aspect is only a means to push the story towards the erotica, not really delving into things more than need be to draw the two main characters together.
Iris seems a bit overcome by being a succubus in that she’s a bit hard to like, mainly from her overall attitude of ‘better’ than most. Still, she is young and has a lot to learn. Against Iris is Cameron, a vampire of some age, one that has a great deal of power. He’s a bit aloof, almost as much as Iris is overall, seems to know everything about everything.
There is a connection between the two characters, but that’s quickly pushed aside for the contest that comes between them, to see who falls to whom. It’s fairly clear who will win early on and the suspense really doesn’t develop well I thought. There’s not much in the way of character development, there’s not all that much personality in the characters themselves. The erotica is a bit pornish as a whole as a result.
I just didn’t really find myself caring about either Iris or Cameron overall. The emotional aspects of both seem to be missing somehow. There’s something missing in how they speak, think and act. The story offered at the beginning doesn’t really develop, the erotica doesn’t have a lot of heat, and the buildup to the climax is rushed. One that moment comes, the mad rush to the ending follows and it just left me frustrated.
Heat is good, passion is fine. The problem is heat without fire and passion without meaning. I would have liked more time spent in developing Iris and Cameron as characters, to flesh them out more and to make them fuller than they are. There’s something missing, as I have said. I can only explain it as being simply not that interested in either Iris or Cameron and I should have been.
Two and a half out of five pitchforks.
The work just reads as being rather superficial. The story behind Iris is interesting, her coven more so. But then there’s a rush to get Iris into bed with Cameron. I just didn’t find that as hot as it could have been. There is a story here, which the author seems to suggest will lead to something more, sometime. Perhaps when that happens there will be more story, more development of the characters and the time taken to do so.
Coming in a rush leads to a story that’s more porn than erotica, more pamphlet than tale. There is a story here, it needs time to come out and play.
