Review: Soraya Honei by V.A. Berry

February 9, 2026

Synopsis:

In downtown Los Angeles, Soraya Honei encountered fate… and it was hunting her.

Something was wrong with Soraya.

Her skin was stretched too thin, her body was burning up, and sex was all she could think about. A couple of nights of some casual fun in downtown Los Angeles seemed like the only cure.

She wasn’t looking to fall in love, but something far more permanent found her.

Now, the strange dreams she’s been having are making a terrifying kind of sense. Soraya just got her life in order, and the inevitable was coming for her. Will she be strong enough to face it?

Review:

When I read the synopsis of the book, I was expecting it to come with some spice. Once I read the first few pages it was clear, that I could expect a lot of it. It started out by Soraya and her friends going out for a night of fun and enjoying themselves (including the casual sex if it would happen 🙂 )
And a lot of fun she had. But something felt weird about it. When the next day came around, she felt an urge, went out and met another attractive man. And it got weirder. That cycle repeated a few times and initially I felt a bit overwhelmed but it surprisingly got interesting, and I wanted to find out what was happening to her. It did not just feel like a woman scratching an itch – something weird was going on.

If you are looking for a book that lets you know what is going on quickly, this is not the one for you. If you are looking for one that keeps you guessing (basically) until the final pages, you will be rewarded with an entertaining story, that comes with quite a lot of physical interactions but never gets boring. I can tolerate quite a lot but didn’t expect that much. Interestingly, I did not mind here. Once I understood that this is not something normal, I was hooked.

Looking forward to how this one will continue, now that we set up the stage for things to be focused more on finding out what is actually going on.
