By: Nathan Bay

Narrated by: Danny Cespedes

Length: 5 hrs and 14 mins

Publisher's summary

Cold-hearted murder and smoldering hot romance explode in this gay mystery about a youth-obsessed serial killer.

Gay men are mysteriously disappearing from the city of Nashville. There are no bodies, no evidence of a crime, and police are turning a blind eye to the pattern. But this is the South, where juicy gossip and sordid rumors spread like wildfire. Is a murderer at large, stealthily slaughtering innocent victims? And if so, who is he, and how can he be stopped?

Meanwhile, Roger Willis just turned 40. He's newly divorced and struggling to find his place in the gay dating scene. Instant access is available through apps, and a careless stranger can reject him with a single swipe to the left. Cool, callous technology has replaced the warmth of getting to know someone through eye contact, a friendly handshake, and casual conversation. His dream of finding love again is beginning to feel hopeless.

Everything changes when a handsome young man named Ben Hudson comes along, and suddenly Roger's world doesn't seem so lonely. There's relationship potential, but Roger has secrets. He didn't survive four decades and a failed marriage without a few skeletons in his closet. What will happen when Ben flings the door open and the secrets come spilling out?

Lies will be told. Hearts will be broken. Fluids will be spilled. It's going to be a bloodbath.

Really enjoyed except the end

I was really enjoying this story until it ended. It has suspense, danger, paranormal activities, a little blood and gore, murder, secrets, and lies combined with a romance story. I loved the story until the very end. I rated the (audio)book 4 stars instead of 5 because it leaves the fate of one of the MCs hanging at the end. I wanted to know if the MCs lived happily ever after or not. Either way would have been acceptable considering this is a horror story. (I wouldn't necessarily expect an HEA in this genre.) But I wanted a definitive answer.

The narration was great. I would definitely listen to this narrator again.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Excellent

Very good story, I love the cover of the book. It shows the terror inside it's cover.
Someone has a need to kill gay men, will this murderer be caught before bring an end to the beginning of love?

I loved the voice of the narrator and his talent for brining the characters to life.

I was provided a copy of this audible free of cost at my request, this is my honest review.

Another great story by Nathan Bay

Nathan Bay has done it again with another great story that simply pulls you into the story and leaves you in anticipation for the next book. Young Forever brings back familiar characters from previous work, and you really get a sense of the friendship and bonds these characters have formed over the years.
You won’t be disappointed listening or reading any of his books. So check them out!

enjoyed it

Would I listen to it again: probably
Did the story keep me engaged: mostly
Was I invested in the characters: reasonably
What did I like about the story? good pace, interesting characters, good mix of drama and suspense.
Was there anything that didn't work for me? i would have liked a definite ending.

If i look below the surface of this book there are quite a few questions and a couple of events that require some explaining, but on the surface it's an enjoyable listen and I enjoyed the authors style of writing. Divorced forty year old Roger who's looking to find his place in his newly single world, finds Ben instead... so not so single after all. Some hot sex, a bit of sci-fi, throw in a serial killer and you have an entertaining mystery to "kill" a couple of hours.

I enjoyed Danny Cespedes narration and think he's done a good job narrating Young Forever. He brings a variety of character voices to the story to make for an enjoyable listen.

high creep factor

Bizarre and beyond creepy!! Omg!!!! I would have liked to know if surgery turned out alright, but I was happy they were reunited and the villain was dealt with. What an adventure!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
