The Kind is a rare race of immortal species. This species feeds on humans but they don't feed on them without having their fun with them first. Isabelle, a member of The Kind, hasn't been the same since she saw her sister killed by a human. That human, Francis Green, fled into the priesthood after his run-in with Isabelle and her sisters. For decades, he lived in the small Irish town of Cook's Corner as the town priest, trying to forget the past until one night when he sees a music video on a televison in the pub. The woman looks just like Isabelle. His dreams begin to be haunted by Isabelle until he is forced to come to America to find her.

In America, a band that has taken the country by storm is touring. They are called Black Widow. The band makes music that even sirens were jealous of. They are led by a myserious woman named...Isabelle.

Will Francis' dreams and torment ever stop? I can tell you it won't without a few innocent bystanders getting hurt. This book takes hold of you, the reader, from the gripping details of Isabelle's eyes and the fire of her soul to the innocent holy mind of Father Francis Green having unholy thoughts about this dark angel.

As cliched as it sounds, i could not put this book down once i started reading it. Isabelle's action were just as unpredictable to me as to were to the other characters in the book. William has a great writing style. It was amazing how so many different people were connected because of her. I also liked how he went back in time through out the story to describe certain events. At times it was a difficult to keep track of what time period i was in but it certainly made the book different and exciting. This book is full of suspense, sexuality and mystery making a really good story. And of course the ending was totally rad.

William Pusey's "Song of the succubus" is pure fun. It is exciting, funny, scary, futuristic and contemporary - all at the same time.

"Black Widow" is the biggest and hottest group in the world. Their music is great but the best thing about them is their mysterious singer, Isabelle. No one knows anything about Isabelle, except for Isabelle herself - And Francis Green, an elderly Irish priest. Francis was trying hard to forget Isabelle, until one day he sees Isabelle in one of Black Widow's videos.

Everything is coming back to him now, all those things from the past that he can no longer ignore.

This is where to book opens, and it flows beautifully to the exciting, breathtaking ending.

I enjoyed every second of reading it!

"Song of the Succubus" is a book I really didn't want to put down. The story is gripping and well written. As has been stated in a previous review, the thing that tends to detract from the quality is the apparent lack of good editing. (Do publishers not have proofers or something?) The story of Isabelle and her flashbacks of time with the Kind (incubi and succubi) add a great deal, as well. As well as the obvious story, the book seems to have an underlying theme of the importance of accepting differences in people, and trying to live in peace. All in all, it is a great book, and has potential to be a favourite to many for years to come. (Particularly with a better proofed re-issue.)

This book is THE BEST!!! William Pusey's first book is a masterpiece!!! It kept me hooked from the first page until the unbelievable ending. I couldn't believe how great this book was, its definatly one of my favorites! Just one thing to some younger readers, look up the word "Succubus" before reading this book. I think I was a little too young when I read it....

Still, this book has an actual plot. its not all about succubus' and what they do. it has an amazing storyline thats keeps you so interested. I read it for hours!

I cant wait until his next book comes out!

Beside the obvious errors made by the printers, I thought "Song of the Succubus" was a great and exciting book. For a new writer, I think William Pusey did a excellent job on keeping the readers interest at all times. The main character "Isabelle" kept my attention, always keeping me coming back for more. So despite what others say about the errors, its a very good book. The fact that William Pusey has the intellegence to write a book is wonderful, and I give him credit for doing so. I recommend "Song of the Succubus" to anyone who enjoys horror stories. Thanks for sharing the book William. Good luck on your next adventure.

I regret not checking the reviews before buying this book. The story is interesting but I can't get past the horrible spelling and grammar. Champagne is spelled champaigne, for example. I don't usually check the publisher, but before I buy another book, I will make sure it isn't published by Writers Club Press. I figure if they can't afford to use spellcheck, I can't afford to be annoyed by another of their efforts.

The concept and basic story line are gripping enough. But the problem that detracts from really relishing this book is a complete absence of editing of any kind. Seriously! If you value the concepts of spelling, grammar, case sensitivity and basic word-processing formatting, beware! That's how this book really scared me! I do note that as of this writing (April 5, 2001) it's now back-ordered. I can only hope it's due to another (corrected) printing.

I lost interest in the plot, I was to busy highlighting all the typos in this "Book". The author obviously didn't have an editor. Not worth the money I paid for it.
