17-yr-old twins Allison and
Jade McKready were born with a curse. They are each a succubus, but they
approach the problem in very different ways. Allison shuns attention and Jade
courts it. Jade says that she can stay in control, but they both know that
their mother killed herself because she fell off the wagon she got on after she
killed her husband on their wedding night. Jade doesn’t think it’s wrong to
take a few kisses here and there, but Allison knows it’s only a matter of time
before guys start to put together that they’re sick for a few days after being
with Jade and start coming to bad conclusions. When Jade’s social life implodes
and tragedy strikes, Allison’s life is turned upside down and she’s left with
more questions than answers. Allison turns to her friend Ren Fisher for comfort
and suddenly she understands more about Jade and their curse than she ever did.
Allison has hard choices to make, but will they be the right ones?
This is an interesting take on
the succubus life. The few books I’ve read with a succubus in them have been
about adults. This is told from a YA perspective and how Allison doesn’t want
to end up like the women of her line, but she also yearns for love. How to have
love and not kill your lover? What a dilemma! How Jade and Allison go about dealing
with their curse in very different ways is thought-provoking and the writing is
very good. There is a tendency to have a bit too much mundaneness in the plot
and not as much action, so it tends to drag a bit in spots. Other than that, this is a very well-written
YA coming-to-terms tale seasoned with paranormal and sprinkled with romance.
