Espíritu is the sequel to Cemetery Boys, an LGBTQIA+ ghost story about magic, acceptance and what it means to be your true self. From the bestselling author Aiden Thomas.

Ever since being sacrificed as part of a forbidden ritual, Julian has been able to see and communicate with the spirits of passed brujx. And that would be okay, if it allowed him to be part of his new boyfriend, Yadriel's, community. But Julian’s also seeing other things: shadows in the corner of his eyes, glowing eyes in the dark, and “dark spots” on people – gaping, black gashes that are somehow wrong.

Then, a strange new brujx shows up. Ángel, as a nonbinary brujx, can heal the living and release the dead, but more than that, they can also see the same dark spots as Julian. Despite Yadriel’s reservations, Julian eagerly accepts their help. But, Ángel’s ruthless methods feel wrong . . .

With the shadows growing darker, and the discovery of a gaping dark spot on his friend Luca, Julian has to decide who he wants to put his trust in, and just how far he’s willing to go to save what is his.

'the tone of this sequel is very different from the first-but it truly does the story justice. Cemetery Boys fans will not be disappointed by this addition to the world of the graveyard gays'
'This paranormal mystery centering on Latine characters delves into themes of family, love, grief, and trauma . . . A richly thematic and suspenseful mystery'
'Thomas’s sequel is once again packed with chilling, action-packed scenes as it examines the depths of secrets families will keep in order to protect one another'
'A beautifully haunting story about found family, grief, and loving who you are. Espíritu is a portal to a magical world that will heal your broken heart' (Dustin Thao, #1 New York Times Bestseller of You’ve Reached Sam)
'Espíritu is a love letter to belonging, to family, and to the messy, magical work of figuring out who you are when the world keeps changing around you.
