This sci-fi fantasy deals with the human condition, which is quite commendable. It is sad though that the author believes that in 3515 slavery and kidnapping will still exist. Congrats on book of the day.

Definitely appears to be a bit erotic, given that the main character is a succubus. The apocalyptic aspect on top of this certainly sounds interesting. I really can't resist a romance but this seems to be a bit further than I normally venture.House of Pain by Denna Holm is classified as Sci-Fi/Fantasy, but it reads like a dark erotica novel. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at the discovery. The story is about Magdalena (Maggie) Shelbador a succubus, and her quest to find true love. She is a slave who dreams of being free of the life she has in the whorehouse in which she grew up. Her story becomes tangled with that of a widower named Daniel and all the troubles he encounters trying to rescue his kidnapped son. The story is set in the year 3515 and is very apocalyptic by all accounts. The story is filled with demons and magic, and people who are trying to survive in a time that seems almost prehistoric.
