Sponsored by Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas with Fierce Reads
Determined to prove his true gender to his traditional Latinx family, Yadriel tries to summon the ghost of his dead cousin to help set it free. Instead, Yadriel summons Julian Diaz, the school’s resident bad boy. Julian is not about to go quietly into death. And the longer they’re together, the less Yadriel wants to let him leave. . .
Aiden Thomas’s debut novel is the first trans-centered fiction book by an openly trans author to make the New York Times best seller list and POPSUGAR says it’s “the inclusive supernatural romance the world needs right now.”
