The Route of Ice and Salt by José Luis Zárate
first half was very horny but so valid I'd be horny too if I had to live my whole life in secrecy while being surrounded by people I'm attracted to but can't have. maybe a little too horny at times...... but his thirst, his desire, his desperation, his need to hide, the neck kiss..... the vampire/dracula allegory is so good. second half was a masterpiece. the way gay people were treated and killed like vampires, the internalized homophobia, the descent into madness, the eventual acceptance. definitely want to reread this.

"His father preferred to kill his son rather than to accept that his nakedness was not a sin; that caresses offered in the dark, in the glow of the senses, did not indelibly stain him."

really loved this one, the first 3 were kind of slow going and didn't really captivate me but this book was my favorite of the series and I liked the open ending. I'm both happy and sad it's over
