About this listen

Cemetery Boys is an LGBTQIA+ ghost story about magic, acceptance and what it means to be your true self. From the instant New York Times-bestelling author Aiden Thomas.

Yadriel has summoned a ghost, and now he can’t get rid of him.

In an attempt to prove himself a true brujo and gain his family’s acceptance, Yadriel decides to summon his cousin’s ghost and help him cross to the afterlife.

But things get complicated when he accidentally summons the ghost of his high school’s resident bad boy, Julian Diaz – and Julian won't go into death quietly.

The two boys must work together if Yadriel is to move forward with his plan.

But the more time Yadriel and Julian spend together, the harder it is to let each other go . . .

'A celebration of culture and identity that will captivate readers with its richly detailed world, earnest romance, and thrilling supernatural mystery' – Isabel Sterling, author of These Witches Don't Burn

Critic reviews

Cemetery Boys is necessary: for trans kids, for queer kids, for those in the Latinx community who need to see themselves on the page. Don’t miss this book. (Mark Oshiro, author of Anger is a Gift)
This book is magical, tender, loving, and so so so important. I love it with all my heart. (Mason Deaver, author of I Wish You All The Best)
Cemetery Boys is nothing short of an astonishing work of art. Aiden Thomas masterfully weaves a tale of family, friendships, and love in a heartwarming adventure full of affirmation and being your best self. (C.B. Lee, author of Not Your Sidekick)
A story much bigger than the paper that binds it, Cemetery Boys is the tender intricacy we have all been waiting for. (Kayla Ancrum, author of The Wicker King)

This was very cute and I love positive queer rep. I knew who the "bad guy" was as soon as they were introduced though so it wasn't much of a twist. Still an enjoyable read that I would recommend.

Did I enjoy this book?
I did.

Do I recommend it?
Yes!

This is such a fun and colourful story. The trans rep is excellent, and the magic system is very cool. Yadriel and Julien were my favourite part of the story. I have such a soft spot for Yadriel. It was so good to read a romance book with full and lively (ha) characters. I felt like I was a fly on the wall watching their relationship develop. Add to that the beautiful world building, complicated and realistic relationships and it made a great story. The plot was also very well done and kept me guessing right until the end. This will become one of my top romantasy recommendations!

Any criticisms?
It took too long for the story to get going. I found the start drawn out and a little repetitive. However, once we got to the main part of the story I was hooked.

Will I read it again?
Maybe?

Will I read the sequel?
Definitely! I will save it to read during spooky season because it is the perfect read for October/November.

I have been looking for this kind of book. It is amazing and so good written. To read it in autumn, like I did, is just the best timing.
For a book with a main character to be trans and having the struggles that we masctransguys have is so wonderful to read. I could so see myself in that. And to have the setting of the books in the Latinx community in the Uswas such a eye opener for me that is from Europe and have had little contact with that. To see that they get represented.

The narrator was just so wonderful and the voice was perfect for this book.

Such a wonderful book
