I've had this series on my TBR for a while now... Here's DN Bryn's "How To Bite Your Neighbor and Win a Wager." It's the first novel in the Guides to Dating Vampires series.
[""I WANT YOU TO BITE ME."
Vincent Barnes has suffered four years as a vampire, and they’ve been the most miserable years of his pathetic life. Too poor for black market blood, he feeds from sleeping humans to survive. He tries to never intrude on the same prey twice, but after a single delicious taste of a long-lost childhood neighbor, he can’t help returning for seconds.
Wesley Garcia has been waking up with fang marks. Lucky for him, he needs a vampire—to use as bait. He’s certain Vitalis-Barron Pharmaceutical killed his mother, but to gain access to their covert research labs, he has to bring them a bloodsucker for their experiments.
Step one, a dramatic offer: Stay, and you can bite me.
Vincent leaps at the chance to gobble Wesley up.
Wes’s plan is perfect. He’ll befriend the vampire, then trick him into coming to the lab. No fighting, no fuss. But Vincent is more than Wesley has bargained for: sweet and shy, with intoxicating fangs that awaken new desires in Wes. As the two bond, Vincent believes he might have finally found someone worth putting his trust in... and Wes fears neither of them will survive the betrayal he has planned."]
I loved this book..in concept. That doesn't sound highly complimentary. It wasn't a bad book. It was a great book, but there were some character notes that I didn't anticipate. They threw me, and I'm not sure I recovered. I'm not sure if they were a huge twist or if I perceived too much and the reality pushed me out of the universe.
I loved the trust and the lack of communication and the numerous barriers between them. They were both going to through sooo much. But they kept coming to each other, back to each other. It was powerful and beautiful.
Trigger Warnings: coercion, violence, death/murder, discrimination, medical experimentation, non-con blood sucking, non-con drug use, and more.
