Adrian Lopez writes horror and dark erotic horror, often blending folklore, myth, and gothic fantasy into stories that are as brutal as they are sensual. His work includes The Unholy Queens Collection, which features unhinged, powerful women who embrace every dark and carnal desire, and the Lycaon Bloodlines werewolf saga.
His inspiration for writing was reignited after the tragic loss of his daughter during pregnancy, an experience that infused his stories with grief, rage, and love for monsters who refuse to die quietly.
Adrian is an indie author who connects closely with his readers through his Darkly Devoted Street Team, sharing early chapters, exclusive merch, and signed editions. He believes horror should seduce as much as it terrifies, and that monsters deserve both fear and devotion.
Death and Depravity in the best possible ways. What a couple Camilla and Emilio are! True ride or dies - in more ways than one lol. Very very very spicy. Demons, murder, but somehow love at the center of it! This was unique and a good read!
This was my first Erotic Horror Romance & I loved the chemistry between the FMC Camila & the MMC Emiliano! She’s a Succubus demon and he’s a human with a dark side who ends up getting tempted by some other female and let’s just say things don’t really end up well for her. Definitely check your triggers we all know how some of you guys get lol
I will say this book will not be everyone’s cup of tea.
This book!!! If you want something that is Chaotic, unhinged, erotic, evil, spicy, dark, sadistic, ritualistic and twisted to the max level, then, this is the book for you. The intense chemistry shared between the main characters is un-explicable, out of this world. It is a deadly union that takes them out of this world. The book is fast pace, easy to read and a page turner. If you like a spicy book, every chapter is full of it; described very graphic and very detailed so, do take that into consideration. The book cover and artwork is also something I loved about the book. You could tell they spend time creating that artwork to bring the characters to life. I would definitely check the trigger warnings before you decide to pick up this book. I could see that it will not be everyone's cup of tea.
Temptation of a Succubus: A Deadly Union by Adrian Lopez is an electrifying mix of dark romance and supernatural intrigue that grabbed me from the first page. Lopez has created a succubus character who is not just seductive but deeply layered, making her much more than a typical temptress. The chemistry between the characters was undeniable, and the pacing was perfect for a novella—fast, intense, and deeply satisfying.
For fans of dark romance with a supernatural edge, this is a must-read. It’s incredibly spicy and dark, so I highly recommend checking the trigger warnings beforehand. The book delves into the darker side of erotic horror, and it does so exceptionally well.
The story follows Camilla, a powerful succubus, and her partner, Emiliano, as they go on a killing spree. Emiliano, with his unsettling habit of keeping trophies from their victims, adds another layer of depravity. Every detail in this novella is vivid and chilling, making for an intense reading experience.
Camilla is formidable, and the intensity between her and Emiliano kept me captivated. The book moves at a quick pace, filled with spice in almost every chapter. If that’s your kind of story, you won’t be disappointed!
I’m giving this book 5 stars and 5 chili peppers for heat. But again, make sure to check those trigger warnings—this one is not for the faint of heart!
This pitch black, gothic horror is well outside of my wheelhouse but I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. It’s so twisted and dark I found myself waiting for the light in the story.
The writing is good even though I found some of the dialogue a bit cringy, but, I think that this was intentional because it does fit the rest of the narrative.
There are many on page dark, explicit, and sometimes gory scenes, so take the trigger warnings seriously if you intend to read this.
I absolutely loved Temptation of a Succubus! This novella is a perfect blend of dark romance and supernatural allure that had me hooked from the first page. The way Adrian Lopez crafted the succubus character was both seductive and layered, making her far more than just a temptress. The chemistry between the characters was sizzling, and the pacing was just right for a novella—quick, intense, and thoroughly satisfying. If you're into dark romance with a supernatural twist, this is a must-read!
This was a very spicy and dark. I would definitely check trigger warnings before reading this. Dark Erotic horror at its finest.
It follows a succubus and her boy toy Emiliano . They go around unaliving people. Emiliano likes to keep trophies. It was so detailed in every aspect of this novella. Camilla is powerful and not someone you want to ever piss off. It was intense and I loved everything!
I had the pleasure in narrating this book and I swear I did not see this outcome. but the love they had for eachother is beautiful. Even if they are unhinged murderers lol.
This is a dark dark book with a plot twist that comes completely out of left field and I love it. Emiliano is a human with dark thoughts and desires and has found his way to a union with Camila a succubus demon and they wreak havoc across the Spanish countryside.
If you want a dark, twisted, spicy book with horror this is for you
First things first—brace yourself and check those trigger warnings. This is not your grandma’s romance novel! If you're easily shocked, you might want to sit this one out. But if you're into the dark, dangerous, and delectably twisted, Temptation of a Succubus is about to become your new obsession.
Let’s talk about the artwork for a second. No, seriously, the artwork! I’m low-key obsessed. And then there's Camilla. From the moment she steps onto the page, it’s game over. She’s fierce, she’s seductive, and she’s absolutely lethal—pretty much a walking temptation that’ll have you begging for more. Her dangerous allure is impossible to resist, and honestly, why would you want to?
Now, Emiliano... I mean, that name alone deserves its own round of applause. He’s the kind of dangerously dreamy you can't help but fall for. His inner turmoil and deep, burning love for Camilla made me swoon for his character. And then there’s Elena—twisted and terrifying, yet somehow, you can't help but love her too. The complex emotions these characters stir up are chef’s kiss.
Oh, and the plot twist? Buckle up, because it had me clinging to the edge of my seat. Just when you think you know where it's going, it throws you into a whirlwind of surprise.
Here’s the kicker: this book didn’t just reveal my love for dark, twisted plots—it made me enjoy them. Turns out, I might be a little more "morally flexible" than I thought. Triggers? What triggers? Bring them on!
And we cannot forget the spice. Five stars. Five. Full. Stars. If you’re not left panting by the end, check your pulse. Adrian’s writing is steamy, sharp, and absolutely addictive. I’m already stalking the author for their next release.
In short, Temptation of a Succubus is a wild, seductive ride—and trust me, you'll love every minute of it.
Let me just say, I had an inkling of what I was about to read. I have seen a lot of reviews and videos on this book, so I knew it was a dark horror erotica. But in all honesty, I can say I had no clue to the depravity and sheer madness this book was going to be. It certainly is not for anyone who is easily triggered or is easily affected by such primal debauchery.
The story is about Emiliano. He is by all accounts a unhinged psychopathic murderer, and takes great pleasure in the pain, fear and sexual satisfaction he gets from his kills. So much so, he takes souvenirs of his kills with him. With his Lover Camilla, a succubus demon that has taken a hold of not only Emiliano's heart, mind and body. She is in control of his very soul. Together they travel the countryside unaliving all that cross their paths. Taking several lives in a dark, sadistic and ritualistic way that feeds their sexual perversions. Until they find themselves in a secluded villa where he meets Elena. She slowly gets close to Emiliano, luring him away with sweet words, and her willing body. He realizes with her things are different, he feels a softness, a need that transcends his desire to hurt, give pain and force himself on her. She makes him want her in a way he has never felt before. This is where the story takes a twist and the conflict begins...
Please read the triggers on this story. It is beyond a dark romance, it borders insanity with supernatural horror erotica. That begins on page one and the lasts till the very end.
This is one wild twisted ride. You want dark horror erotica, this book is for you. You want sexual depravity ala natural born killers this is for you ;)
This was my first experience with an erotic horror romance, and it completely pulled me in. The connection between Camila and Emiliano is electric—she’s a succubus, he’s a human (Or is he more?) with a darker side, and together they create a relationship that’s both intense and unsettling. When another woman enters the picture and temptation takes hold, things quickly turn grim.
I tore through this book so fast. It’s dark, seductive, and packed with horror elements that don’t hold back. There’s no shortage of graphic, gory moments alongside plenty of heat. This isn’t a soft or subtle read, it’s intense, violent, and deeply provocative. If you enjoy stories that go far beyond morally grey into something darker and more chaotic, this will likely be right up your alley.
While this isn't normally my go to type of book, I enjoyed the writing so much that I will definitely be reading more by this author. Camila and Emiliano’s relationship is complicated, raw, and undeniably intense and that’s what made this book so hard to put down.
Temptation of a Succubus is dark, spicy, and absolutely not for the faint of heart — so first things first, check your trigger warnings. This is not a sweet romance, and it knows exactly what it’s doing.
The artwork alone had me hooked, and then Camilla stepped onto the page and it was game over. She’s fierce, seductive, and dangerous in the best way. Emiliano? That man had me from the start... conflicted, intense, and impossible not to fall for. And Elena… twisted, terrifying, and somehow still lovable. Make it make sense.
The plot twists genuinely caught me off guard, and I loved that I never felt fully settled reading this book. It’s dark, messy, and unapologetic.
And the spice? Five full stars. Steamy, bold, and addictive.
This book fully confirmed that I enjoy my stories a little dark and a little unhinged — and honestly, I’m not mad about it. I’ll absolutely be back for more.
I honestly didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started reading this book. I did have to sit back when I was done and ask myself “WTF did I just read?”. Camilla and Emiliano are a couple who enjoy unaliving people and doing whatever they want to the person when alive and when not. Camilla is a succubus with many unreal abilities and Emiliano likes to keep a certain trophy from his victims. This book was a fast read for me and pretty much every single chapter had spice, if that kind of spice is your thing, I was so there for it! This book is a very unhinged 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ with 5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ to boot. I would definitely check those triggers at the door before reading this book.
When I tell you a devoured this book so fast, it was dark, smutty, horrific and more! Adrian really delivered on what I would think a true succubus is meant to be! Not the ones that are just last lustful creatures but those that really bring soul leeching horror to the forefront of the story. I will say for me at least the first half of the story the plot takes a bit of a back burner to sating Camilla’s insatiable needs. The second half though when her rival shows up though things do get more plot heavy. Plenty of horrifically gore driven details to be had and tons of delectable smut to be consumed.
Maybe slight spoilers. I’ve had this book for a while and decided to go in blind. It was quick and easy to get through. The writing was very imaginative, creative and unique! Different than anything I’ve ever read before. It was dark, erotic and had MANY moments of “wtf did I just read”?! But in a good way! There is a lot of extreme graphic erotic detail so be prepared! It was definitely heavy on the erotic horror side vs plot but I was still drawn to what happens next. Would like to see/read an alternate ending. The end of the Ammit felt a bit rushed and left me wanting a little more. Overall I liked it and would definitely recommend to other erotic horror readers.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I stumbled upon this book because of the narrator on Tiktok, otherwise I don't think I would have read this book. This is not my normal genre, but I like to try new things. I was warned that it is a dark romance which is not new to me, but the succubus thing was. This is an example of don't yuck someone's yum, for me. It was hearing about the bodily fluids and the um, pet names that kind of did not do it for me. There is a lot of spice in this one, but it was my yuck this time. I say give it a chance, otherwise you won't know you do or don't like the story.
I have never read anything like this before! I read this novella in 1 sitting, and that's a first for me! So yea, I loved it! This is a fast read, intense, super dark, smutty, demon romance with a twist. The FMC & MMC are both completely unhinged, they do what they want whenever they want and don't look back. The chemistry between these 2 characters is unmatched from beginning to end, and I'm obsessed! Highly recommend this book to dark romance fans out there.
So this book is dark (way past morally grey), murdery, bloody, and very very erotic. If that’s what you like, this is the book for you. As a first time reader of this author I am impressed. The storyline picked up from the start. It is a little bit all over the place but I can appreciate that because it’s very short scenes that come together for a huge plot twist. I’m not one for paranormal monster horror, but this book is gooooood.
Camillia and Emiliano have a love dynamic that is deep, raunchy, and extremely weird in this book. But I couldn’t put it down.
I can’t wait to dive into another one of Adrian’s books.
WHAT A WILD SPICY RIDE!!!😮💨😮💨 It was DARK-DARK, DIRTY, SPICY & FILTHY!! I LOVED IT!🖤😍

I hope you read it and like it! It’s on KU. It’s on audible.
First of all, this is the first pitch black story I’ve ever read so it was a ride for sure! This book is perfect for horror lovers, scary movie lovers. If you love Jennifer’s body and SPICE this one is for you. The narrator did such an amazing job on the audiobook! She brought the characters to life and sucked me right in. Overall this was an amazing audiobook. It was fun to read a new genre. I even caught myself being a bit frightened at times
This book was good. It was very disconnected in the beginning and the author was able to pull it back together for me.
I did appreciate the book more when I was able to see that there was a complete story line and Ammit was not able to succeed in her evil plan, but when you come across a couple that gives “Touch them and DIE” vibes… your plan was doomed from the start.
This book is a perfect mix of dark romance. Check your trigger warnings before reading!
Emiliano is a human with a dark side that calls to Camilla in every way. The two of them are the perfect couple until Elena shows up in Emilianos life making him question his love for Camilla. Who will he choose? Why does Emilianos human dark side call to a Succubus? Read this book to find out!
A Union that was bathed in Evil!! Adrian Lopez has me hooked and shook.
This was my first horror erotica romance, and it was a good read.
I recommend this for those who enjoy this genre and like the twists of gore and romance into one. Adrian brings to life the intensity and intimacy of the characters. It has all the spice and so much more.
If you’re looking for unhinged this is it! Camilla and Emiliano are the perfect FMC and MMC in this horror romance. It reads like several mini stories in one and all of their depraved acts awake the goddess Elena. In the Spanish countryside you find the twisted desires of a Succubus and her companion Emiliano. Will they meet their end or rise above and live to possess and find more prey?
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ very spicy and very erotic. A true definition of erotic horror. If that is your kind of read, then this book is definitely for you! I did enjoy the plot. 2 lovers who will do anything and everything for each other no matter what. The love story itself is beautiful. Their temptations are unhinged but it’s what makes them flourish
Such a wild ride! Camilla is thoroughly unhinged. Emiliano is a close second. Together they are pure depravity and destruction. Loved the story and twists!
