Publisher's Summary

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.

My ADHD brain cannot even

Can we focus on one character please? Sonia and Silvia did what? Luke is good then he is bad? Idk guys some Angels did some stuff… I feel like I’m in a maze. Frankly, the story pisses me off.

Excellent start to a great series

Succubus Sins, the first book in the Blood Stone Series, is an entertaining reverse haram Urban Fantasy. This book is well-plotted and has all the ingredients to grab the reader's'/listener's attention. The main character, Sonya, is a succubus and quite intriguing. She refused to feed on man, and only gets her nourishment from her girlfriends. Eventually, her nature takes over and starts seducing men. The characters are fabulous and are well-developed. The writing is descriptive, well-paced, and precise.

Lia Holland's narration is excellent; she did a fantastic job with the characters, bringing them to life. I really enjoyed this story and can't wait wait to find out what's next. I was given this audiobook as a gift, and my unbiased review is voluntarily provided.

A rich fantasy world

This was a rich fantasy world and a fun story that was well narrated. I didn't rate it higher because there was always sooooo much going on that I felt a little lost. When building a new fantasy world I need a little more support as new types of supernatural are introduced and a little more backstory. Overall, the characters where likeable and the story was fun.

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!

This book was given to me at my request. I am providing a voluntary and honest review. Thank you AudiobookObsession. You guys always have the BEST audiobooks!

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.

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.

Lia Holland Performance is strong, her tone for each character is great you can tell who each character is

Good beginning

This book's really intriguing and kept interested throughout, although it's sometimes confusing and I had to go back and listen again certain things. The book got better after the first half and was more interesting.
There were some things left open, but since this is just book 1, I expect these will be further explain in the next books.
Now I can't wait for the next book so I can continue with the story.

Lia Holland did a great job narrating it, she has a good time, paced and different voices for each character. I really enjoyed her narration.

I love these type of books

There’s so much to keep you hooked. I love the fierceness of the leading lady, she certainly knows how to kick butt and take names. Looking forward to the next book to see what happens next. Excellent performance from Lia.

Great

I received this free and I am leaving this review voluntarily .

Sonya tries to be loyal to her girlfriend Sarah but being a Succubus that’s proving very hard.
Then there’s the runes tattooed on her stomach and the crazy destiny that’s tied to them.
Great first book eagerly awaiting the next book . Lia Holland narrates perfectly.

what a great start to a series

loved this, the story sucks you in, and the narrator is great, and really brings your imagination to life...

Loved the story and the narration.

Oooo I really enjoyed this story and where it was left I now need to get hold of the next one! I really enjoyed watching as she tries to figure out what's going on around her and just what is coming up. I like the way the answers are slowly revealed over the course of the book. There are several characters I feel sorry for, yes I did get that pulled in to it! Lia Holland adds beautifully to the story with her narration. Put it this way I didn't even think about it while I was listening which to me means it was great, no matter how odd it sounds to say that!
