Turning 40 was the last straw for me. It’s practically 60 in gay years and I wasn’t ready for dentures yet, so I came to Youthology — a program that injects clients with blood transfusions from young, fit and healthy donors.
I chose Nick.
Handsome. Masculine. And more importantly, young.
I thought I hit the lottery, until my life started to change for the worst. Not even the top medical experts can explain what happened to me. From the moment Nick’s blood flooded into my veins, I stopped being me, and I became something new; something dangerous and deadly.
I became my donor.
His obsessions are mine now. His darkest desires, his dreams, his needs, and nightmares are all a part of me, and I don’t want to let them go.
I embrace them and the beautiful boy who haunts both of our dreams.
My blood pact was sealed the moment I entered Youthology.
I never thought I’d become a killer.
This book is part of CRIMINAL DELIGHTS. Each novel can be read as a standalone and contains a dark M/M romance.
Warning: These books are for adult readers who enjoy stories where lines between right and wrong get blurry. High heat, twisted and tantalizing, these are not for the fainthearted.

As an almost 40 y.o., I actually cannot relate to Mark. I do not feel the same at 40. Yes, it's older, but it isn't the "end of the world" older. There are things I am doing now that I never would have dreamed of doing on my 20's, so there's a disconnect. Which leaves me actually not a fan of Mark's. I think he's a bit self-centered and selfish which is not a trait i see in myself or my favorite characters, but the author did a great job with it regardless.
As far as the premise goes though, this was a captivating, if not a bit creepy one. I read the blurb and was like HELLS YES! Younger blood to replenish aging blood? Almost vampiric without the fangs! So it's modern, but with a hint of paranormal (but not really PNR?). This might need its own genre! :)
This book is pretty dark and twisty, as are all the others in this Criminal Delights series. Most of the books in this series have a "sweet" edge to it, in this one it is Sean himself. Even though he is writing about the darker side of romance, (ha! how fitting for this book *side eyeing Sean Azinsalt*), I can see how Mark is becoming obsessed with him. (and a certain someone else *cough*)
I felt the ending was a bit repetitive and a lot of things were thrown in, but the overall story and, lets be honest, steamy scenes make up for that. Once you really delve into this story, you won't want to quit!
Sean Azinsalt is the pen name for Shane K Morton.
Shane lives in Studio City, CA with his husband Jody and their fur baby Slayer. His first novel, The Trouble With Off-Campus Housing was published in 2016. When not writing, Shane can be found at a film festival or performing cabaret somewhere in a dark dive bar in LA.
