Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
4.0

I loved the specificity of this Los Angeles brujx world! Yadriel was such a cute, awkward narrator and I was all in on his spoopy ghost romance.

One thing of interest to me is that the brujx magic is so gendered, with one crux of the story revolving around Yadriel getting affirmed as a ghostbusting brujo rather than a bruja who have healing magic...in this world what kind of magic would a nonbinary or genderqueer person be able to access? HMM perhaps a question for a sequel!

Still, a great book for fans of urban fantasy/paranormal romance!
