Espiritu by Aiden Thomas

Espiritu, the much anticipated sequel to Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas is out tomorrow, Sept 8! Little Lion reviews it for us below. as we were lucky enough to get a digital ARC copy for the bookstore.

Espíritu is the perfect kind of sequel— it doesn’t feel forced, it ties up all the loose ends and remaining questions you didn’t realize you had after Cemetery Boys, and it feels like such a natural progression of Yadriel and Julian’s story. This book provides fans with our favorite characters in a fresh and exciting new story, more of Julian’s perspective (which we only got a tempting little hint of in the first book), a consistent voice and theme from Cemetery Boys, and yet also an exploration of totally new and complex ideas. I’ve been a big fan of Aiden Thomas for years; words can’t describe how excited I was to hear Cemetery Boys would have a sequel, and it did not disappoint. Read for more magic, mystery, cute queer love, and a fascinating new character who’s sure to hook you!

PS We have met Aiden Thomas twice, both at YALLWEST, several years apart. He’s brilliant, gracious, and a phenomenal writer. A family favorite.
