Bloodlines 8. Chronicles Of An Academic Predator (CAP)

This story brings new and old characters together including a visit to Claremont.  Includes the fear of HIV into the story with the right amount of traction for the time and the child abuse in handled well . The change of font had me confused as the change of perspective until I realised that it was 3 am. That is how invested in the world i was. People may think that the sex is overdone,  for me it mirrored my own experiences perfectly, a young man from rural New Zealand visting Hawaii and San Francisco at that time,  almost a memoir!!

I am totally fucking awed by this great story. It has everything:  love, hate, loss, tragedy, suspense, family drama, fear of HIV, coming out, dealing with family members who reject gay sons, and of course steamy, explicit, arousing sex scenes. @Mark Arbour is my role model as a writer of erotic stories, and I recommend this one, and all of the series to everyone, but be warned--you'll find it hard to put it down (and that's not the only thing that'll be hard!). Thank you for yet another knockout of a story, Mark!
