Six Sentence Sunday — Soul of the Succubus #2 #SixSunday
Welcome to “Six Sentence Sunday”. Thank you for visiting and especially for any comments you might be inclined to leave.
Soul of the Succubus is a Romance on the Go story from Evernight, short enough at 8500 words to be read in a single sitting, before bed, on a commute, etc. A short story writer at heart, I love that the world of digital publishing makes this length viable for a stand-alone work.
In this six, we meet a secondary character in the story of a succubus who goes to hell to redeem her soul after fulfilling her contract. Raziel is the boss man’s demon muscle charged with holding Yve, our heroine, captive. Yve’s rescuer has just arrived and is the speaker. I can’t tell you who it is though, to avoid spoilers.
“Raziel! Look! A virgin! Out in the hallway!”
Raziel grunts and charges out of the room, tackling a she-demon with blue skin and red eyes to the ground. [Rescuer] slams the door but not before I hear the demon’s cackles and Raziel’s lusty roars.
I got all kinds of not so nice critters in this one. Soul of the Succubus releases July 24th from Evernight Publishing.
If you enjoyed this tantalizing little nibble, check out the host site, Six Sentence Sunday, for links to more snippets from some very talented writers.
After this release, I’ll be off to my very first writer’s convention, and it’s a big one–RWA National. Leave me a comment if you’ll be there too!

It’s dangerous to be a virgin over there, eh? Can’t wait to read about them and your other critters. 🙂
I love your succubus tales. 🙂
Fun snippet!
I agree…digital publishing has opened up so many new opportunities for authors, particularly in the erotic romance and novella markets. My erotic romances range from 11K to 60K. Most are 30-40K — not what the print publisher publish.
Fun 6, especially the opening line–the rescuer knew what to say to distract Raziel, LOL! And yay, you’re going to RWA, it’s my first, too!
Ha! Always fun using a virgin as a ruse/bait to distract a demon. 🙂
I loved the first line from the rescuer. It read like a classic distraction like from the Princess Bride! lol Fun six, Lila. 🙂
Well, the trick worked. Hopefully he can get them out of there before the demon and Raziel come after them. Nice six! 🙂
That’s hilarious! Especially since virgins seems to be rarer than purple unicorns 😉 Looking forward to this one!
I like your erotic humor. Fun six.
darn it all, sometimes six is not enough!! I wanna know what happens next…
fantastic 6
Sounds interesting! Great six!
