Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on March 18, 2014
Mark summons a demon, specifically an Incubus, and makes a deal with them in order to be “irresistible.” While that does become true, there is a little matter of the meaning of words and the plans of demons that involve Mark into something he didn’t expect to have.
Overall, this are more of a hot flash in that the plot of the work seemed to revolve around Mark getting into more and more sexual situations that spiralled out of his control. He gets everything he wanted, and a few things he didn’t expect to as well.
All of Mark’s fantasies come true, in more ways than one, and as things continue the meaning of the word “irresistible” starts to take a turn. There is quite a lot of mind control in this work, which isn’t a surprise as the author is well known for that focus. How that mind control effects Mark himself is quite subtle and as such creeps into and changes things for him as the story progresses. While it was hidden well over the story, the effects upon Mark’s partners in the work is a bit more obvious. At some points I wondered whether it was really necessary to be so obvious when it might not have needed to be quite so much so.
All of the erotica is well written and Mark manages to, for lack of a better description, sample a lot of different kinds of sexual encounters before he finds himself facing the Incubus again and the real story behind was has been going on is revealed.
The one part of the story that I think was best done was the confusion in Mark’s thoughts about the things he sees, feels, needs, and desires. Those moments tie the vignettes of erotica together and I wish they were quite a lot more than they were. It would have been nice to see more of Mark trying to piece together what happens to him as the story continues than there was. Part of that I know is needed to drive the plot forwards, but… while I liked those pauses, they seemed to be missing that one little thing to make them better as a whole.
Three out of five pitchforks.
While the concept was interesting, it was a bit too much sex scene and not really enough character development for me. The mind control aspects were hot and the erotica was well done, but I just needed more story personally.
