Plot Summary

When Vivian finds out that Dave is cheating on her, she is livid. What a disaster, right before the Halloween party. But the strange girl working in the Halloween store offers her a peculiar gift to borrow and assures her that she will not be disappointed. It was a hand-crafted succubus mask. When Vivian puts on the mask she gets a lot more than she bargained for. She discovers what it is like to be a true-life succubus, powerful, lustful, and able to get revenge. She knows that Dave is with Jenna. She finds them and the rest of the night is a journey of vengeance, lust and self-indulgence brought on by the fires of hell. Vivian shows Jenna how great it is to belong to a succubus, and she makes sure that Dave knows that she is not one to be taken advantage of.

Book Review

The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on May 15, 2022

Vivian isn’t at all pleased with her so-called boyfriend. A rash decision to appear at the same Halloween party leads her to a very strange store to find an even stranger costume. Transformed into a succubus, her seething need for revenge fuels her powers and none that she encounters can resist her newfound nature.

The work is a mix of succubus transformation, female dominance and a bit of medium heat erotica that works well to tell a story of revenge and need. The work mainly sets up the series and there’s quite a lot of character and universe setting up that works well.

Vivan, the succubus of the story, isn’t exactly evil. She’s angry, frustrated and wants revenge most of all. They are somewhat dark emotions and there’s a sense that the mask takes those emotions to transform her and give her a more dominant and powerful personality. The transformation isn’t explored as much as I would have wanted to, it mainly happens off the page and we see the aftermath as Vivan tries to make sense of things.

The erotica mainly focuses on Vivan taking control of those around her and making them do her bidding. There’s a simmering heat in those scenes, but her anger mutes the heat a bit. Perhaps that’s the underlying current of the story, her anger overwhelms all else and it feels like some character development and world building gets sidetracked as a result.

The work is very short, and I wish there’d been some time spent on the transformation. Yes, Vivian is a delightful succubus when she’s transformed, but there’s something missing that could have been explored. Similarly, the story feels rushed at a few points, notably the first reveal of the mask and Vivina’s first encounter with her mother that could have teased out something more of what the mask is capable of doing.

Three and a half out of five pitchforks.

It’s an interesting start to the series overall and there’s a lot of ways this story could go. Vivian might be a little over the top sometimes in her anger, she might be a little blind to what’s going on. But there’s a lot of room for her character to develop and the story to become something more than revenge alone. I think that will be fun to see unfold and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
