This is one HELL of a ride (literally) as a female heavy metal band unleashes a horrific sex demon upon three unlucky fans after every show.

While this might sound like just another over the top bloodfest of a book, the story is fantastic and dives into themes of sleep paralysis, the occult, and has some twists you won't see coming.

A brother and sister go to a Suck-U-Bus concert together because they've both grew up in the heavy metal scene. When the brother is one of three chosen fans to have an after party on the bus after the concert it seems like a dream come true.

The band has steeped itself in occult imagery and the rumors about what goes on in the bus are seen as a publicity stunt more than anything. But that's not the case as the brother starts acting strangely and soon after disappears.

As his sister tries to get answers she'll be exposed to occult teachings and theories that suggest something other than natural occurrences happened not only to her brother, but others as well.

I love heavy metal and demonic based horror so this one ticked off the boxes for me. It's creepy, disturbing, and has a great well paced narrative that ensures you'll want to keep reading to find out what's going on. I highly recommend it.

Heavy metal and succubi, what more can you ask for?
It's a super fun fast-paced read that I really enjoyed.

The plot of this has kind of a Jennifer's Body vibe with the execution and sleep paralysis connections making it feel closer to Dead Awake. This was a fun and easy quick read. I felt like the mystery aspect played a bigger role in most of it than the horror. I was kind of surprised how little of a role some of the characters I was expecting to be more important were though. It was still interesting, but I think it would have been more interesting from a POV closer to what was going on rather than starting from more of an outside perspective that got pulled in eventually. Not being close to the action at the start did make it more mysterious and suspenseful though so I think it's better to go into the book looking for that rather than a character caught in the middle of the horror from the start. I did like the ending though and that it worked in the open-ended way horror movies end where there could be a sequel or it could work as an ending twist for a stand-alone too.

An interesting read if you are into dark, gothic and heavy metal type stories. There is plenty of mystery to go with mystic and spiritual demons. The story was faced paced and left itself open for a sequel. Overall if dark gothic type stories are your forte, this is the book for you.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I loved reading this book, it felt so cool and sexy coupled with darkness and danger. Definitely recommended.

"On June 6th, 2006, three friends entered a pact with a succubus. Musical fame and fortune would be there's provided the women could fulfill the demon’s need for sexual energy with willing spirit spouses.

Both parties agreed, and Suck-U-Bus was born."

That’s what the website claimed. But it was just a gimmick to sell tickets. Or so Lisa Hummer thought.

After her brother gets a backstage bus-pass, she isn’t so sure. A strange woman warns them the succubus has marked Danny for more than sex, and it isn’t long before Danny goes missing.

Following the clues, Lisa uncovers a trail of chaos wherever the band plays. She can’t be certain if there is a nefarious plot or if it’s simply a bizarre series of coincidences.

Is the succubus real or is it all in her head?

A very fun and goofy read. Don't take it too seriously and you'll have a blast reading this:)
