I was excited to read Suck-U-Bus and it was a good time but it also didn’t reach its potential. The writing was choppy and scenes were rushed. Some of the descriptions were immature and not in a funny or cute way. I would read more by this author and give them another chance for sure but this one was not for me.

In the book Suck-U-Bus by S C Mendez and Nicky Noir, we meet Lisa and Danny hummer two siblings who lost their parents in the accident and have been all each others head for the past 10 years they are also diehard rockers and although Lisa since leaving her abusive boyfriend has tamed things down and now goes to school and lives in normal life her brother Danny is still all Lin to the rock scene. When her brother Danny makes an impromptu visit with tickets to the band Suck-U-Bus Lisa doesn’t really feel like going with Danny guilt her into it. At the concert when Danny is picked to go on the bus to meet the mothers which is the name of the three girls in the band he is super excited to do it, but when a redheaded corpse looking woman tries to warn them they both blow her off. When her brother Danny goes missing the next day Lisa tries to contact the tattoo artist that also went on the bus with her brother but when she is found dead by Lisa Lisa thinks her brother may just be in trouble Lisa follows the band to every concert in search of her brother but when she finally finds him he’s not the brothers she remembers. The more concerts they have the more people die and it’s always those who visits the bus that die in while at the show in Colorado Lisa gets picked to go on the bus.. This is one crazy piece of work OMG the ending is even crazier I do love horror stories but I am not big on explicit sex and although they didn’t have a lot of that in the book and most of it was just to get from point a to point B and not for nastiness sake I still don’t think I would’ve requested knowing that but now that I have it is a quirky well told story it is bizarre out the box with lots of OMG moments I want to thank Blood Bound books and Net Galley for my free arc copy please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review

I enjoyed this read a lot: sex demons and Metal Concerts; I mean, c'mon.

My issue, however, is that even though the story is a lot of fun, the plot elements are confusing and feel like an afterthought. I'm not entirely sure what the ending meant--like, I get it, but por que? Also, by the middle of the story it almost felt like the only point was to showcase a sleeping condition and tie it to a sex demon. I still had fun reading it and will rec it to other horror readers because it's a quick, short read and hilarious.

Loved it. SC Mendes and Nikki Noir are becoming a couple of my favorites.
I am all about music mixed in with horror. This gets into the action quick and you won't want to stop reading.

I thought this book was okay! It didn’t quite scratch the itch I was looking for, but still found it enjoyable and finished it quite quickly! Not my most memorable read, but certainly not the worst thing I’ve read by any means.

A book that crawled inside my psyche well enough to give me a vivid nightmare where I was being chased through a house by a demonically possessed Emma Stone in a nun habit.

The idea of a band that uses it's mythos to serve a demon who makes them famous is hard not to get pulled in by - is it real, is it a gimmick, is it a mixture of both? Regardless, it's a horror story of obsession, violation, and destruction.

As someone who has occasionally experienced sleep paralysis, the description of some of the experiences felt very accurate, but the theory on what it was and the astral planes was very amusing to me. It might even make me entertained post-recovery from the next bout of it.

There's some emphasis on virginity that I found both an interesting take but also annoying; the ideas about sexuality and power didn't feel completely rounded out and ended up being insulting when I think they could've been really interesting with a little more page space.

This is graphic and sexual, surprisingly amusing, and it's going to eat your heart.

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.

I really enjoyed reading this, it had the succubus element that I was hoping for. The characters felt like they were supposed to in this type of book. I enjoyed the way the missing people elements worked with what I wanted. S.C. Mendes & Nikki Noir write such a great story and it left me wanting to read more.

I loved this book. Checked all boxes, missing persons, satanic rituals, sex demons and rock’n’roll. I couldn’t stop reading.

Suck-u-bus by S.C mendes and Nikki noir was a fun read for me!
I loved the vibes of this book
Demons, metal concerts, horror, nightmares & hallucinations, astral planes. I really enjoyed the imagery and the writing.
It was well written but maybe a bit too rushed for my liking. Some partS couldve been longer and more detailed in my opinion. But at the same time I did enjoy how short the book was and how much I was still able to connect to the characters at the same time.

Oh this was so much fun. I love the setting, I love the plot, I love the cover. I love it all really.

This book was a fast and engaging read that reminded me of the vibes from Jennifer's Body, one of my favorite horror movies.
It delves into themes of heavy metal, sex, the occult, demons, and hallucinations, making it a fun, creepy, and mysterious read with a surprising twist that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I would like to express my gratitude to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this advance reader copy in exchange for my unbiased review.

This is one HELL of a ride (literally) as a female heavy metal band unleashes a horrific sex demon upon three unlucky fans after every show.

While this might sound like just another over the top bloodfest of a book, the story is fantastic and dives into themes of sleep paralysis, the occult, and has some twists you won't see coming.

A brother and sister go to a Suck-U-Bus concert together because they've both grew up in the heavy metal scene. When the brother is one of three chosen fans to have an after party on the bus after the concert it seems like a dream come true.

The band has steeped itself in occult imagery and the rumors about what goes on in the bus are seen as a publicity stunt more than anything. But that's not the case as the brother starts acting strangely and soon after disappears.

As his sister tries to get answers she'll be exposed to occult teachings and theories that suggest something other than natural occurrences happened not only to her brother, but others as well.

I love heavy metal and demonic based horror so this one ticked off the boxes for me. It's creepy, disturbing, and has a great well paced narrative that ensures you'll want to keep reading to find out what's going on. I highly recommend it.

Heavy metal and succubi, what more can you ask for?
It's a super fun fast-paced read that I really enjoyed.

The plot of this has kind of a Jennifer's Body vibe with the execution and sleep paralysis connections making it feel closer to Dead Awake. This was a fun and easy quick read. I felt like the mystery aspect played a bigger role in most of it than the horror. I was kind of surprised how little of a role some of the characters I was expecting to be more important were though. It was still interesting, but I think it would have been more interesting from a POV closer to what was going on rather than starting from more of an outside perspective that got pulled in eventually. Not being close to the action at the start did make it more mysterious and suspenseful though so I think it's better to go into the book looking for that rather than a character caught in the middle of the horror from the start. I did like the ending though and that it worked in the open-ended way horror movies end where there could be a sequel or it could work as an ending twist for a stand-alone too.

An interesting read if you are into dark, gothic and heavy metal type stories. There is plenty of mystery to go with mystic and spiritual demons. The story was faced paced and left itself open for a sequel. Overall if dark gothic type stories are your forte, this is the book for you.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I loved reading this book, it felt so cool and sexy coupled with darkness and danger. Definitely recommended.

"On June 6th, 2006, three friends entered a pact with a succubus. Musical fame and fortune would be there's 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 very fun and goofy read. Don't take it too seriously and you'll have a blast reading this:)
