by Courtney Maguire
When Asagi is sold into the house of a young nobleman, Mahiro, after failing to protect a boy from their abuser, life is forever changed. Asagi is different. Both man and woman. Asagi has always been a servant, never knowing kindness or generosity. Mahiro is also different. He is a youkai, a demon feeding on the blood of innocents. When Mahiro and Asagi’s friendship blooms into something more and their new relationship is threatened, Mahiro turns Asagi into a youkai to save his life. But when the boy, now a man, Asagi failed to protect, reappears, Asagi must determine what it means to be human and protect what he loves most.
The Youkai Bloodlines series is a three-part series featuring demons, love, blood, and hard-hitting decisions. “This is one of those stories that doesn’t fit neatly into a category. It has a love story but isn’t a romance. It has scary scenes but isn’t a horror tale. It has vampires, but isn’t a typical paranormal story. What it is, is a fantastic and tragic story that is all-encompassing and heart-wrenching and definitely a book that will stay with you after you finish it. It will be so interesting to see where Maguire takes this series if this is our introduction!” – Paranormal Romance Guild
