Plot Summary
Lina wasn't supposed to become a Succubus.
But when an incubus murders her sister on her 18th birthday, she not only gains her sister's powers, but becomes THE ANTI, a hunter of incubi, as well. Lina quickly realizes that her relationship with her handsome new trainer, Marion, is going to be a complicated one. And that the only way to get revenge for her sister... is literally by sleeping with the enemy.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on May 15, 2026
Lina’s life has always been odd, from her family to just everything in general. The truth comes out in a way that will forever leave its mark upon her, her future to be a succubus cannot be escaped. But perhaps with some guidance, and something more, she can find herself and all she was meant to be.
The work is something of a modern day fantasy adventure with a bit of a quasi-supernatural edge and a quite a lot of erotica tossed on top. At times very serious, generally told with a snarky tone by the main character, there’s a rater familiar feeling about the overall setting and story that reminds me of a certain television series. That amused me when i realized that aspect, and for the main character, it’s actually so very much a theme that works for them and the story.
It is a dark story overall, there’s very little in the way of anything else, save for the interjected bits of darker humour along that way which gave that little bit of levity which kept this from being just a melancholy story. The erotic aspects are a bit over the top, the incubus one is especially so. Even so, the main character just gets turned on by her succubus nature and that simmers throughout the story and never leaves.
The main character Lena, and her barely present sister before that story comes to a close, are the succubi of this work. Lena becomes very much a creature of sex and temptation, but at the same time beyond her succubus power of control and those more fatalistic aspects of her, her snarky naivety turned into being an even more snarky succubus femme fatale is done well and intrigued me.
The work closes in a place that sort of leaves things dangling for the main characters, plot and all else. It does make me wonder what will be next overall. With that said, this feels so much much like sort of a Buffy the Incubus Killer sort of work, and that amuses me. I wonder where that will take things, if the level of snark will remain or if the story will need to just turn upon itself to get somewhere interesting.
Three out of five pitchforks.
The real shame is that the series only carried onto the next work and then both disappeared. The series seemed to promise a lot and I think for the most part that it delivered on that. I’m not sure how the author could keep up with how they told the story or would keep the characters from becoming stereotypical. I think they could have and it would have been something to watch unfold.
