Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on January 13, 2023
Ella’s life has been nothing but hell from the beginning. An unending list of being used by the evils that humanity darkest side brings. Something good turns dark and Ella falls into a new hell that brings with it Charlotte to lead the way to the revenge she seeks.
Overall, this is a dark and moody work that mainly focuses on Ella, her life, and how things come apart, eventually leading to her falling into the clutches of Charlotte, the succubus of the work. There isn’t a lot of erotica in the telling nor is there really any sense of things becoming better for Ella in any way to speak of. It’s a telling of a soul being damned by circumstances and where that takes them.
What erotica there is doesn’t bring a lot of heat, which again, with the sense of the storytelling, works to show that even that which should be a delight is bitter. This is a story in which sex is a weapon and every character does so in their own way. There’s a feeling of dread in the erotic moments and that deepens the feelings of loss and need which run throughout.
Charlotte, the succubus of the work, is tangentially one. She doesn’t act openly as one, it’s more of a whisper of her real self that latches onto Ella and draws her onwards. Charlotte is very much a being of revenge and evil, the reveal of her past brings that very strongly to the fore. There’s little in the way of seduction in her personality as her own seething hate and need for revenge overcomes all else, she might have been. She is not, however, stereotypical in her actions. She schemes, she plots and persuades Ella to follow in her wake. What makes her, as does the rest of the characters, difficult to care about is the hurt she and they have been through.
