Description
Sinners and saints must be equally vigilant...
"On June 6th, 2006, three friends entered a pact with a succubus. Musical fame and fortune would be theirs 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 Note From the Publisher
Warning: This is NOT a young adult book. It’s a new adult book series with the characters being mostly eighteen to twenty-five in every story. The term ‘new adult’ seems to have different connotations in some countries as being for adolescents thirteen to seventeen years of age, and we don't want this to cause confusion on what you are about to read.
This is not to discourage anyone from requesting books in the series. Petite Mort our last release is a great introduction to splatterpunk. Well-written, funny, and bizarre as NetGalley users have noted. But it is still splatterpunk and is intended for readers over eighteen.
Advance Praise
"Nikki Noir is a sultry new voice in erotic horror, one you should watch as closely as a black widow in your bedsheets" - Kristopher Triana, Splatterpunk-Award winning author of Toxic Love
"Nikki Noir and S.C. Mendes are a match made in hell!” - NIKOLAS P. ROBINSON, author of Innocence Ends
“Equal parts Elmore Leonard, Chuck Palaniuk, and Gillian Flynn, Nikki Noir definitely lives up to her name.” - John Palisano, Bram Stoker Award-winning author
"Mendes knows how to weave a mystery" - Joseph Sale, author of Dark Hilarity
Marketing Plan
Nikki and I are looking for groupies! Well, maybe just readers who enjoy heavy metal and sex demons.
Suck-U-Bus released on 6/9/2023 and we are looking to increase its visibility and reviews in preparation for a prequel releasing late in 2024.
We hope you will help us by sharing your honest feedback on Amazon, Goodreads and social media.
If you select that you are interested connecting, and you maintain a profile on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, we will most likely reach out when the book is ready with promotional material and a physical ARC for you to share.

A D, Reviewer
I loved reading this book, it felt so cool and sexy coupled with darkness and danger. Definitely recommended.
Alline T, Reviewer
Can we just give a round of applause to this book because it did that. And it did it so well. Sex, drugs, demons, and rockandroll. It was a rollercoaster of a time. Iconic.
Hayley K, Reviewer
As soon as I read the mention of GWAR on the first page, I knew this was my kind of book!
This is an easy, short read that will appeal to fans of metal and horror movies. The two siblings are easy to invest in. I related to Lisa's struggles with sleep paralysis. Those scenes were some of the scariest in the book.
I should mention that the book goes into darker territory than I initially expected. Trigger warnings for sexual assault. I probably should have known that was coming with the book being about a succubus. The victims are supernaturally seduced so this is not violent but it is not consensual. Think of it like vampire movies where the victims are under the vampire's thrall.
I really enjoyed this book and will be checking out more from S. C. Mendes and Nikki Noir. I would love a prequel all about the Mothers! I'll be checking out their other book, Petite Mort soon!
Nichole C, Reviewer
I absolutely loved this story. I really hope they write a second book for this. I physically could not put this book down and finished it in one sitting, which I don't do very often.
Paige A, Reviewer
I devoured this book in one sitting. Heavy metal women, tons of sex, and sleep paralysis, what a trifecta! This was such a rad story, Mendes and Noir always deliver a good time! A background story of siblings bonding (after a family loss) over a wild all-women metal band known for their bus of sexual fantasies? Yes! Thats right! A Bizzaro ride with all the great elements of Extreme Horror!
