Saint Juniper's Folly - Hardcover

by Alex Crespo (Author)

Cemetery Boys meets The Haunting of Bly Manor in this spellbinding queer paranormal romance!

"A slow, ominous creep of a book." --New York Times bestselling author Aiden Thomas, Cemetery Boys and The Sunbearer Trials

For Jaime, returning to Saint Juniper means returning to a past he's spent eight years trying to forget. But every gossip in town already knows his business, so he seeks out solitude into the nearby woods--Saint Juniper's Folly--and does not return.

For Theo, Saint Juniper means being stuck. His senior year is going to be like all the rest, dull and claustrophobic. That is until he wanders into the Folly and stumbles on a haunted house with an acerbic yet handsome boy trapped--as in physically trapped--inside.

For Taylor, Saint Juniper is a mystery. She struggles to practice the magic her dad banned from the house after her mom, an accomplished witch, suddenly died. Then a wide-eyed teenager barges into her life, rambling about a haunted house and a trapped boy. He needs a witch.

The Folly and its ghosts will draw these three teenagers together. But can they each face their demons to forge a bond strong enough to escape the Folly's shadows?

Alex Crespo's queer haunted house mystery is equal parts spine-tingling thrills, a celebration of found family, and must-read for paranormal romance fans.
