			Elisheba’s world changes overnight and with that comes a new realist she must find a way to understand. She’s not human anymore, now being called succubae and she has no idea what that means. But then neither does the world around her and what that may mean is a mystery which will change everything.

			The story is an interesting combination of science fiction and fantasy with a strong stirring in of some well known mythos. Some of the interspersed science fiction moments are a little rushed and confusing, being on the edge of unreadable until you realize what the short forms really mean. Those are a little bit clunky and unusual, but in time they make sense.

			While there are moments of erotica in this work, they have really very little in the way of heat, being somewhat abrupt and rushed through in comparison with the overall story. The mythos being built as the story is told is really very interesting, but feels a little abstract and thin overall. Much of that comes from Elisheba’s perspective, and as she really has no idea of what is happening until very late in the story, it leaves a bit to be desired.

			Elisheba, the succubus of the work, is transformed physically from her human form into something close to being succubus, but more a shift into something irresistible to the other main characters of the story. She’s caught over, there’s a bit of a mind control aspect to her powers as well as the hunger for feeding on those called demon in this world, and why that is remains a bit shaded for quite some time until the truth comes out. She is called succubae, and is a succubus in many respects, but is not, in a classical or other sense, fully a succubus. Perhaps it’s best to call her a temptation at best, a distraction at worst, and the mystery behind her leads to something quite unexpected as well.

			Three pitchforks out of five.

			A mix of science fiction with a bit of fantasy mythos tossed in, the overall concept is actually quite interesting. However, there’s really not that much focus on Elisheba being a succubus, it’s more on her path through this new world and all that happens around her. There is a character transformed into being an incubus as well, but that is less focused on in the work, which might have been more explored to bring more of an opposing view to things.

			It is a fascinating read by far, it’s the missing parts of the story that bother me, especially with regards to Elisheba being a succubus and her purpose that feel unexplored as a whole.

== Plot Summary ==
The world is awed when a glowing city drops from the sky, blocking out the sun. Dubbed the Heavenly Citadel, it’s thought to be a good omen. A blessing upon humanity.

For Elisheba, though, it brings a transformation — and a hunger — that she can’t explain.

Branded a witch, hunted by her husband, and abandoned by everyone she knows, she flees to the Black Woods. It’s not a host of angels she finds in the Heavenly Citadel’s shadow, though. It’s a camp of devils.

The devil’s commander knows Elisheba has been transformed into an immortal… something. Something irresistible, and when he claims her for himself, she’s dragged into a reality she never could have imagined.

Elisheba used to be human, but she’s not anymore.
It’s not clear what she is now, but one thing she knows for certain:
She’s hungry, and the commander smells a lot like dinner.
