Succubus Sins

A Reverse Harem Romance (Blood Stone Series, Book 1)

De: J.R. Thorn

Narrado por: Lia Holland

I'm about to make the seven deadly sins my bitch

See this tattoo across my stomach? Yeah, the one with seven crazy runes. Ignore the pink one on the far right, that's Sarah. I love her, but she's not one of my four. That was a hard lesson to learn.

I tried being loyal to her. Even went to a stinky Succubi Den to get a snack or two just to stay alive. Well, that didn't work out, and now I'm stuck trying to charge some dusty old relic my mother left behind. Turns out there's some crazy destiny tied to my tattoo, which is actually a birthmark and all about the end of the world. Sounds fun, sort of, not really.

I've met rune #1, and he wasn't at all what I'd expected. It wasn't love at first sight. Maybe hate at first sight. Pretty sure he hates my guts. But that's okay, maybe rune #2 will bring him around.

This end of the world stuff is just getting started, and I have a feeling one of my very own sins is the one stirring the pot. The Incubus King, what sin might he be? Lust...my favorite one. Bring it on.

Author's Note: This is a fast-burn reverse harem story. It includes explicit language and sexual situations. Intended for audiences 18 years and older. As this is a series, there will be a cliffhanger.

Definitely stands out of most

This one started a bit confusing and its fast paced so I did feel a bit lost especially with the constant POV change, but these characters are fun and intriguing enough to string me along the story thou i will say i did feel i needed more character development, to be honest I have the hope the next books give what's missing if anyone decides to take the dive it's a good story.

I enjoyed the narration, but with the change of POV maybe a Male narrator would've made it easier to follow.

Great book

I love how the author portrays the succubus and the different aspects of the species. Author also has great flow forward with backstory played in to the mix. Narrator does well reading with a good flow and expression. #AudioBookObsession

Really Good

J.R Thorn got me hooked with the Elemental Fae Academy series, it's the first thing I have ever read by her and after that, I was a goner. The next thing I started was the Fae Academy series, and I am currently in the middle of that series (it's currently ongoing) and of course, it's amazing but then I realized that there was a series that predate Fae Academy. Blood Stone series is sort of a prequel to the Fae Academy series, Blood Stone is an origin story to one of the characters from Fae Academy so of course, I had to jump in.

Succubus Sins is the first book in the Blood Stone series, it's a paranormal reverse harem that is told from multiple povs. The story follows Sonya, a conflicted succubus as she comes to terms with who she is and follows her destiny.

Sonya is a great character, she is funny, sassy, strong, and stubborn. She is very complex, Sonya grew-up knowing she was a succubus but she doesn't want to be. Sonya doesn't want to be a killer and that is exactly what happens if she sleeps with a human male however if she doesn't sleep with a male then she doesn't get what she needs to survive. So I can see how she is struggling and it kinda pulls at my heart plus with her feisty attitude I couldn't help but like her.

Sarah is Sonya's girlfriend and to say it's complicated isn't even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to describing their relationship. Sarah is supernatural but doesn't even want to comprehend what it truly means to be a succubus but Sonya tries to be who Sarah wants and it's killing her, quite literally. Sarah may seem sweet on the surface but she is very selfish and I will admit that I didn't like her at all. It took to much for her to finally own up to her part in their relationship and even then I still don't think she quite understands what Sonya went through.

As for Sonya's destiny, she is connected to the seven deadly sins and I am still not sure what is going on with that prophecy but I do know that of the seven four will be her mates. Sonya has met two of the four and let's say it wasn't love at first sight, things are once again complicated and I just wish for Sonya to get the care and love that she is looking for. The two that make an appearance in this book aren't great but I can see the good in them and am excited to see where this relationship is going.

The story is great, the mfc is trying to come to terms with who she is while figuring out what she is supposed to do all the while trying to defeat a known and unknown enemy. Lots of pieces are on the board, but I don't see the big picture yet. I do know everything is leading Sonya to her destiny but I don't know how she's going to accomplish her tasks. I listened to the audio version of this book and the narrator, Lia Holland, did an excellent job of narrating the story.

Succubus Sins is just the start of Sonya's story, filled with crazy supernaturals, a defective detective, and a destiny that Sonya couldn't stop even if she wanted too. With complicated relationships, a powerful piece of jewelry, and some pretty hot backup maybe Sonya can pull it off, I can't wait to start the next book, up next is Siren Sins.

Interesting

A very intriguing story. Personally it's a little slow at times but still very good. Narrator did a wonderful job.

Holy Crap!

When I first saw this book, I just knew I was going to like it. But I didn't expect that I would LOVE this so much. I am so excited about this series. I stayed up all night listening to it. It was such a great story. One that I have never heard before, and I read a lot of paranormal/fantasy type stuff. And the narrator was AMAZING. The differences in the voices were perfect. I was so impressed. I love this and I hope there are a TON more books to come!
