Plot Summary
When your biggest problem goes from predicting insurance claims to preventing the apocalypse, you know you're having a really weird week.
Sage Murphy was perfectly content selling life insurance and predicting the occasional death, until her half-banshee, half-angel heritage decided to wake up during a routine client meeting. Now she's the world's first Bridge Walker in over a thousand years, which sounds impressive until you realize it means everyone wants to either recruit her, kill her, or use her to reshape reality according to their personal preferences.
Between escaping government supernatural detention, outsmarting demons in business suits, and preventing her evil duplicate from lobotomizing the universe, Sage barely has time to figure out her feelings for Marco, the ridiculously attractive detective who thinks her reality-breaking abilities are charming rather than terrifying.
With a reformed succubus who runs a coffee shop, a goddess of wisdom in the consulting business, and an angel learning about human bureaucracy, Sage's chosen family is definitely unconventional. But when primordial chaos entities threaten to unmake organized existence, she'll need all the help she can get.
Because apparently, saving the world is a team sport. Who knew?
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on February 8, 2026
Sage never could quite get the hang of Tuesdays, or Thursdays for that matter and as for Mondays, the less said the better. Becoming the focus of quite a number of beings and creatures in the universe is a problem and it’s only going to get worse when she finds out she has to save the world too.
The work is a very complicated story of discovery, mystery, adventure and some really interesting discussions of the meaning of reality and the universe at large that I thought was fascinating. At the same time there’s a very strong undercurrent of dry humour that ties the characters and story together quite well. The mixture of science, fantasy and some rather unique subject matter does make the story carry on quite well overall.
Amongst the characters is Linda, also known as Lilith, who is descried as a reformed succubus. There’s really very little shown of her succubus nature throughout the story, and honestly it’s not that important overall. She’s something of a comfort to the other characters and in telling why she gave up being a succubus, that endeared her that much more to me. Anything but stereotypical or evil, she’s just a lot of fun being the owner of a coffee shop and everything that connects to that aspect of her place in the story.
Four out of five pitchforks.
While this isn’t a story about a succubus, it is a story with a succubus as one of the characters and honestly Linda was just a delight by far. Add to that the levels of snark that come through and this is just a lot of fun. With that said however, there is a point where the story gets a bit repetitive honestly and that’s a bit of a shame. At some point a story needs to get to the close and in this case the story just had it seems little bits of ideas to get on the page and perhaps that just shouldn’t have happened. Still, it’s a fun read overall and I did enjoy the story for that.
