A lady temptress
and the counterpart to an Incubus. She is thought to seek sexual intercourse
with sleeping men. The succubus (as well as Incubus) were thought to be
fallen angels, looking for revenge. Demons, witches and deformed children
were the supposed outcome of intercourse with a succubus (incubus).

One of my favorite demons to play with in my books
has to be a succubus. She is the epitome of all that is erotic and dangerous
about women, but as much of a prisoner of her lust as the men she seduces. Depending
upon who is telling the story she can either be a vengeful spirit bent on
destruction, or a sympathetic figure that is trapped in an endless cycle of
need.
I can’t help but think that stories of the
succubus were yet another way to demonize any woman who sought her own sexual
pleasure. Any woman who wants more than two pumps and a squirt in the dark must
be possessed by an evil sperm sucking demon! We all know only women possessed
by the devil would be interested in sexual satisfaction. ;)
And I have
a feeling that this was also a frequent excuse used by cheating men. No, honey,
I didn’t have the milkmaid in bed with me! It twaz that evil succubus draining
my seed to make more demon children. I was helpless against her infernal
powers.
In ‘Princess of Lust’ we meet the queen of the
succubus and she is far more than meets the eye. A strong, powerful character
in her own right, she has a key role to play in Natalia’s present and future. I
really don’t want to say anymore without giving away too much, but suffice to
say the demoness has much to teach Natalia…and her men.
Princess of Lust is the second book in my ‘For the
Love of Evil’ trilogy. Because it is a continuing story line you really, really
need to read the first book ‘Daughter of Lust’ before losing yourself in the
wicked pleasures of ‘Princess of Lust’. Lucky for you I’m giving away a copy of
‘Daughter of Lust’. Simply comment below and tell me what your favorite type of
demon is. :D

Favorite demon? Male, tall, dark hair and dark eyes - any type so long as he fits those criteria. I like bad boys but I don't like them to be TOO bad so a fallen angel who's now a demon might work.
Love em all if done right. Prefer my characters to have that bad side but with a streak of honor that comes through no matter how evil they are.
Favorite demon is a hawt dude with long hair, LOTS of muscles, rides a motorcycle and besides being a bad boy, he has a heart that is rarely seen!
Demon, tall, dark, ripped muscles, lots of ink, deep growly voice and only cares about his mate. He can be redeemed or trying to be a better demon if there is such a thing, but loves his true mate no matter what.
i want to read this. Looks good. I want the whole series soon..
My favorite demon is Deumos Nybbas. It is rumored that her green eyes make your heart pound and your mind sink into sin.
I'd love to read this book!
