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

When his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his true gender, Yadriel becomes determined to prove himself a real brujo. With the help of his cousin and best friend Maritza, he performs the ritual himself, and then sets out to find the ghost of his murdered cousin and set it free.

However, the ghost he summons is actually Julian Diaz, the school's resident bad boy, and Julian is not about to go quietly into death. He's determined to find out what happened and tie off some loose ends before he leaves. Left with no choice, Yadriel agrees to help Julian, so that they can both get what they want. But the longer Yadriel spends with Julian, the less he wants to let him leave.

Review of 'Cemetery Boys' on 'Goodreads'

5 žvaigždutės

I don’t usually read YA, but when I saw this was an East LA urban fantasy starring a gay, witchy trans boy, I immediately said, “Oh, hell yes.”

And the story did not disappoint. It tackled many complex topics with heart and humor, and had me either tearing up or laughing out loud. It was full of loud, vivid characters (like my favorite Maritza, or handsome Rio). It brings the reader deeply into the sights, smells, and sounds of East LA, with its varying descriptions of food, music, fashion, and style.

It's so nice to find stories that let you spend time with underrepresented characters and see things from their point of view, learn about their traditions etc. I only put 4 stars because there were plot twists near the end that could have been more convincing, but I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
