Plot Summary
Destiny. Power. Four mates. One girl who never belonged… until now.
Born with hair like moonlight and no powers to call her own, Clarissa was the forgotten daughter of a weak lycan and a disgraced witch. Bullied and cast aside, she never imagined she was anything more than ordinary—until a scholarship to a mysterious academy in New York City changes her fate forever.
There, she discovers she is the prophesied Moon’s Chosen—bound by destiny to four impossibly powerful and dangerously beautiful supernatural males: a brooding vampire prince, a fierce werewolf alpha, a noble lycan warrior, and a seductive, enigmatic succubus. All heirs of rival houses… all sworn enemies.
As love tangles with rivalry and dark forces awaken, Clarissa must uncover the truth about her origins, survive the coming war, and unlock a power that could unite or destroy the realms.
One girl. Four fates. And a destiny written in the stars.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on Janaury 6, 2026
Clarissa is an ordinary human in a world of extraordinary beings. But the truth turns out to be so much more complicated than she was led to believe. Her destiny awaits, one with a price. But she might not have to do what destiny demands of her.
The work is a fantasy adventure with a reverse harem theme buried in the story through the main character and her four companions. It reads a bit like an anime story with short chapters that tell of an encounter or event before coming to a close and then moving onto the next crisis to be overcome. While there are some intimate moments, overall it’s really more about the conflicts between the supernatural beings, their past, and the future that they are being driven towards by outside forces.
Overall, the story begins with an interesting premise and then it turns into a very repetitive series of chapters where the main character is confronted over and over again by similar darker threats, makes a choice, and then the chapter closes with the next chapter stating all over again with the same themes. There’s a point when as a result the story becomes so very uninteresting and repetitive, the plot being a bit lost as this happens.
One of the mates to Clarissa, Lucian, is described as a succubus, but it really very much an incubus. The story does actually so very little with him, part of the problem being that there are so many characters that appear and as Clarisa is the main focus, he drifts in and out of the story at points and I wondered what his purpose really was.
Two and a half out of five pitchforks.
It’s a story with an incubus character, not a story about an incubus, and event that is so very fleeting.
