Plot Summary
Darla Lugosi, fallen movie star, dreams of a supernatural lover, while stuck in the mortal coil.
In the mundane, human world Darla has done it all, singer/actress/political activist, she has an extremely powerful and magnetic personality that has gotten everything she wanted in life. But now entering her forties, she has been married and divorced and has had her share of carnal fun, but now she’s looking for more. At six feet tall and internationally famous, most human men are barely a blip in Darla’s life, unable to hold her interest.
Meanwhile, in a dark underworld Silvanus the incubus is tired of the nubile prey that he usually feasts on. He dreams of finding the succubus to his incubus, and he thinks he may have found her when he first lays eyes on Darla Lugosi.
Have they finally met their match?
Or are they a match made in hell?
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on November 20, 2022
Darla has worked to have everything she desires. A call and her needs are met, crowds wait for her every word. But something is missing. Silvanus commands his domain, but the pleasures of the flesh are not nearly enough to fill his need. The draw cannot be escaped between them and what cones from desire isn’t something to be ignored.
The work tells of needs and wants, where that takes both main characters, and the questions that give pause along the way. There are erotic moments, but there’s not a lot of heat in them. There is character development, but it lacks the emotional impact to explain why it matters.
