Succubus Soccer Mom: A Reverse Harem Tale by Jacquelyn FayeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hilarious and Filthy Fun
I’d probably give this 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This was another hilarious and filthy book from Jacquelyn Faye. This author has a great turn of phrase and is incredibly witty. She can make the most unrealistic of plots seem credible and her characters are brilliant.
In this instance the book is about a succubus, Kara, who is a 60 year old widow with teenaged twins. Kara was a stripper for year when she met her husband. She fell in love and let him talk her into having a kid, turned out to be twins but as he agreed to do all the parenting stuff, she was ok with it. Apparently demons don’t really do child rearing and usually just abandon their kids to the nearest available being to raise.
When Kara got up a year after the death of her husband and decided enough was enough she moved herself and her kids several states away to get away from all the memories and moved into a Boston suburb, enrolled her kids in private school and settled in to the neighbourhood, where she was surprisingly welcomed with open arms.
This scenario is ridiculous. A succubus soccer mom with all the petty rivalries and jealousies that occur when the new hot mom moves in, just makes me laugh at the thought of it. Then when it’s execution is so well done, the giggling definitely gets out of hand.
Kara is a demon, but she’s not evil. She loves her kids, she just doesn’t understand them. She mourns her husband who she loved and she cares about people in her life. She’s a lusty being who is open and honest about her lusts and there are plenty of very hot and steamy scenes in this book, as you would expect with a book about a succubus. However, it’s the humour that I loved the most about this book. I particularly enjoyed Kara’s interactions with her next door neighbour Karen who is a typical PTA mom who welcomes her to the neighbourhood with cake and a smile. She’s overbearing and bossy, but sweet and kind and Kara comes to like her despite herself. Their banter is funny initially because Karen has no clue about Kara, but as they become better friends, the banter becomes more knowing. It’s very well done.
The info in the back of the books says this is a standalone book, but I really wish this was the start of a series because the characters are wonderful and I’m sure there is plenty of material to work with. I’m pretty sure the author will never see this review, but if she does - can we have another Kara book, pretty please
