Succubus Hunted

Succubus Hunted is book four in L.L. Frost’s Succubus series and things are getting intense. While Adie has finally hit her stride with her men, a new danger in town threatens all of it. An old demon “friend” of her men is in town and he’s not one to be trifled with. But there’s more…Adie is quick to warn her cousins of the lurking danger from the demon, but few seem to take her seriously. Now, Adie’s problems are being compounded with the addition of Hunters in the area. Somehow they have found her and decided to target her. Adie is in a fight…not just for her life…but for those who are closest to her.

Succubus Hunted contains the serials for Succubus Harem 16-22. Adie is confronted with danger from the Hunters and the Librarian gives her a clue to her salvation. The planning process begins, but the guys really don’t want her anywhere near the action. It’s a tangled web being woven by the characters. Tally’s men are more deeply involved in this book as Adie is trying her best to stay a step ahead of the danger that stalks her.

I like that she actually focuses more on this book on the more important issues. Now, I’m not saying that she doesn’t still have a few childish moments of being overly jealous. I honestly appreciate that there are fewer incidents with this book because it shows that she’s growing as a character. I understand…mildly…one scene of where she has a major dose of jealous outrage, but when the practicality is explained…it seems so obvious. I was a bit torn with that scene, but I honestly did end up feeling that she was once again overreacting to an extent. She’d made her point, but then she continued to push the situation instead of getting a grip.

This book/collection of the serial is darker than the previous books. Adie is faced with some hard decisions that will bring about changes to her. There was one moment where I got teary-eyed when tragedy strikes. The author really brings a lot to the table with this book from the seeds of love growing bigger, to the shock of loss and betrayal. Then Adie putting on her big girl britches and really beginning to understand that…sometimes…certain steps must be taken…for the love and safety of all.

I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. The character development and growth are well done. The characters really shine with this book and the author expertly closes the chapter on this section well. But, while the author wraps it up in a nice neat package it doesn’t stop me from wondering…what will the backlash be for the choices that were made? If you’re like me…you’ll be eager to read the next serial and/or books to find out what happens next. This is one hard to put down series, so if you’ve read this far…I encourage you to continue and pick this book up. Adie is becoming a true force…I’m eager to see where the author takes her next.
