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)
Aiden Thomas' debut novel can't help but charm and captivate readers of all ages, though teen readers will invariably identify with and appreciate the high jinks and emotional vulnerability that make each character and scenario deliciously enchanting.
Thomas injects the queer paranormal romance genre with a fresh shot of lavishly detailed Latinx culture, blending in Mayan, Mexican, Central American and South American traditions while commenting on cultural appropriation, deportation and class.
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)
The novel perfectly balances the vibrant, energetic Latinx culture while delving into heavy topics like LGBTQ+ acceptance, deportation, colonization, and racism within authoritative establishments
Cemetery Boys is a celebration of culture and identity that will captivate readers with its richly detailed world, earnest romance, and thrilling supernatural mystery. This delightful debut is a must-read for all paranormal romance fans. (Isabel Sterling, author of These Witches Don't Burn)
Thomas marries concept and execution in a romantic mystery as poignant as it is spellbinding, weaved in a mosaic of culture, acceptance, and identity, where intricately crafted characters are the pieces and love?platonic, romantic, familial, and communal?is the glue.
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 gay, transgender brujo with burgeoning powers seeks answers about his cousin’s death... Both the romance and mystery burn slow and hot until the climax... Their romance provides joyful, ground-breaking representation for gay, transgender boys. Heart-pounding.
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)
Speaking from experience, this is the kind of book that you read and then immediately go force all your friends to read so they can share the pleasure.
A wildly memorable novel.
This one is just what your heart needs right now.
Thomas sensitively navigates Yadriel’s struggles as a trans teen . . . In spite of some heavy themes, this is a pleasing ghost-story-turned-romcom.
Packed with eerie adventure, tingly romance, and family drama, the novel lays bare the tension between upholding tradition and reaching full self-acceptance. Cheeky, relatable characters bring humor and lightness into Thomas’s debut, which also takes on themes of death, loss, abandonment, and rejection.

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

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.

Predictable but sweet
