Badly Served - Ripley Hayes

REVIEW: Blood Pact – Courtney Maguire

by
Blood Pact - Courtney Maguire - Youkai Bloodlines

Genre: Paranormal, Romance, Fantasy, Alt History LGBTQ+ Category: Gay, Pan, Non-Binary Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book In Hiro’s world, youkai are a supernatural story used to scare children into obedience, and to keep men out of back alleys and brothels. Until Sakurai Hideyoshi walks through his door with a fantastical tale of a samurai who had killed a thousand men and drank the blood of his enemies, a man that lived in darkness but sought beauty to keep it at bay. A story both terrifying and romantic…and completely ridiculous. Unless it is true. Convinced something softer lurks behind Hideyoshi’s hard mask, Hiro follows him home. And … Read more
