Plot Summary
A bitter divorce coupled with a gambling habit leaves Solomon in a financial hole. Desperate to pay off his debt, he takes a second job at Dishy, a private ladies’ venue where sexually hypnotic hostess, Olive, submerges him in a world of easy money and unorthodox sexual encounters. Olive’s only demands in return are Solomon’s mind, body and soul.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on February 15, 2022
Solomon is in all kinds of trouble and he needs to make some money. A misstep brings him into the presence of Olive who offers a deal he cannot refuse. But soon he discovers that there’s more to the deal and it might cost his soul.
The work tells an interesting story with an odd fetish, a mysterious woman, and a main character that becomes trapped in ways he cannot fully understand. The exploration of the feitsh is something quite special in itself, but the appearance of the succubus in the work brings the story deeper into the erotic heat and more so the temptations and seductions that the main character cannot avoid.
Olive, the succubus of the work, is very much a seductress at the start, but as things progress her true nature, and needs, become far more obvious. She isn’t a stereotypical succubus, though there are some aspects that fall into that category. It’s how she’s created her trap, how she draws and controls the souls around her that I think was told very well. Her deviousness and manipulations are told well and how they affect Solomon adds the measure of darkness her character suggests to the story.
The story being told from Solomon’s viewpoint works well, there’s a certain accent to his thoughts and the story’s dialogue that were unexpected, but fit well. At one point there’s a bit of a story disconnect that didn’t work and perhaps there’s a paragraph or two missing in that moment. Still, a very good story with complex main characters and good heat in the erotica that works well.
Four out of five pitchforks.
A really well told story of seduction, entrapment and need which leads into some really unique fetishes. I’d have liked more about Olive, about the club as well. There’s some world building that needs to be explored. The ending was a bit too expected, which was a shame all things considered. Perhaps a following work in which Solomon has to face Olive and her kind would be a thought to explore.
