The scenes were smoother, more refined, more complete and I liked that a lot. There’s a lot of threads that run through the story, and the transformation scenes I think are some of the best that John has written. Heat, passion and story combined is always a good read. That at its core is what makes this story wonderful. Given the chance to do so, she reveals to Mike a hidden need within him and in doing so there’s a good sense of, if not closure for Mike, there is that for Ashley at least. He does change, he knows remorse and he wants to explain this to Ashley. Mike’s change in personality doesn’t happen at the point when Ashley reappears. I have to admit that Mike’s story was fitting in some ways, he was a bit of a twit at the beginning of the story, but as well, by the time that Ashley takes control the feelings of remorse within him where very strong and I think that made a stronger connection between him, what happens, and the reader. She changes in a way that takes her from a slender personality into a very strong, clear one that is sure of what she desires and is not afraid to demand it. It isn’t just a physical change, it’s an attitude change in her. The transformation of Ashley into a Succubus isn’t the main point of that change, there’s another reason for that change and that part of the story, when it is told, is very emotional and gives weight to why Ashley has changed so much. The Ashley of before was lost and uncertain, not saying what she wanted, just allowing Mike to use her as he wanted to. I did, I admit, smile at her Succubus name, and in a lot of ways I think that it works well in this story for her. I thought that the things she tells Mike, the revelation of her becoming a Succubus fit exactly right. The change in Ashley’s outward personality, the reveals about what she wanted in the past, what she wants now really work well. I really liked Ashley, her personality, the story of how she became a Succubus, how she sees herself now and what that all means to her is amazingly well told and I liked every little thing that was revealed about her. When Ashley reveals she is now a Succubus, and shows Mike what the truth was, and what it is now, he finds his own world, understanding and desires being challenged. Mike discovers that he never really did know Ashley in the first place and asks for a chance to make amends. She sounds different on the phone and when he meets Ashley, she isn’t the same woman he knew. Ashley doesn’t return his call, but a month later, she calls him. It doesn’t take long before he understands that he made a huge mistake and tries to apologize. Mike finds himself at a loss when he loses his girlfriend Ashley. The following review was originally published on Tera's Blog, A Succubi's Tale on September 30, 2014 Revenge that involves Mike on his knees dressed in lingerie and in a form that is anything but his tough, masculine body. She is now a succubus, and she plans on getting revenge. When they go back to her place, Mike learns the eye-opening truth: Ashley is no longer human. Only the woman on the phone sounds very different from the girl he dated and when he meets Ashley, he notices an air of confidence and sexuality around her. Months after breaking his girlfriend's heart, he finally hears back from her. So much so that he screams the name of the woman he had an affair with, instead of calling out his girlfriend's name, Ashley. He is strong, confident, and very much an alpha.
