An Ashlez Review : It’s In My Blood (Criminal Delights:Obsession) by Sean Azinsalt

Rating – 2.5 stars out of 5
Death eventually comes for us all. But what if there’s a way for older people to regain their youth? To stay a step ahead of the grim reaper?


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.
 
Honestly when I first started this book I thought YES another criminal delights book!!!!!!!!!! I started reading and was sorely disappointed – Concept, of course, cool, the MC was lackluster and really annoying with his hangups, I really didn’t need him complaining for 1/4 of the book – and I did not enjoy the initial fun time scene in the book.
 
I’m very conflicted – I adore the criminal delights but this book was just a dud through and through .. again, was an interesting concept the whole eternal youth and blood angle was pretty cool to read and the transition of the main character from who he was to who he became was quite the read, but in the end it was just not the book for me.
 

Perhaps I’m projecting my love for a few of the others in the criminal delights “series” into this one and that’s why I found it lackluster, still worth a read if you like cool science things and some freaky happenings.

Cover art by Natasha Snow: cover seems dark/spooky, related to blood so that’s cool.
