By Way of Pain by J.M. Dabney

5.0

4.5/5

This book is seriously depraved and as the description indicated “not for the faint of heart”. Of all the Criminal Delights books I have read or browsed this one is the most out there. Read the warnings and take them in to consideration. If you decide to read anyway, you will find this a truly well-done tale.
Cowen is believable and gave me flashbacks to Christian Bale in American Psycho. Harrison is adorable and my only critique would have been to smooth his transition from fear to lust a little more. Otherwise this is a strangely disturbing sweet thriller with a side of love.
