Plot Summary
My name is Nefarius Judge. I’m not human, though I was born in the same manner. I did have an infancy, but it certainly was not traditional. I spent my childhood learning how to inflict pain, learning a set of rules I didn’t have to follow, and learning who I am.
I am not nice, nor am I good. I am evil. Pure, unadulterated evil. I have a purpose, and for those of you who have asked, “what is the purpose of evil”, the answer you seek lies in my life. What I do improves your world in ways you fail to see because you have chosen to close your eyes to the benefit evil has on this world.
Why kill a child, you ask? Have you seen a stronger mother than the one who has lost a child and lived through that grief? Why destroy a house? Have you seen the greatness of compassion humanity is capable of when presented with a homeless family? Why destroy a future? Because, dear reader, a better one can be made. I am Nefarius Judge, and I make your world a better place.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on July 30, 2017
Nefarius is a force upon himself with little concern about the consequences of his actions. He simply is and what happens is what it will be from his view. Falling into his hands, souls darken as does his own and none are the same again.
The work has a particularly dark main character who, as a whole, has quite a number of aspects within him which suggests some incubus-like nature. It’s not overtly so, save for a few points, but that said, the character is extremely dark, having little else that makes up their form. That’s not to say there isn’t a kind of unstated honour to him however. He’s the spark that changes the others he pulls into his orbit, and in doing so the darkness that consumes him takes others as well.
There are some moments of erotica in the work, dark ones which have little to redeem themselves within. I found the erotica wasn’t so much heat as it was outright need and domination and at times that domination pushes the story into places which can be difficult to read. The work is clear, from the summary alone, that it has a certain focus and style and isn’t ashamed to state that point. It’s well that it does beforehand as it should be taken into account before beginning this work and reading the events within.

The telling of what happens to each character encountered is unreserved and brutal at times, but then that again reflects the main character and what drives him. From the perspective of the author’s writing ability and being able to set out the characters so strongly, the work is really well done.
