Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas tells the intriguing story of Yadriel, who has summoned a ghost, and now he can't get rid of him.

When Yadriel's traditional Latinx family struggles to accept his true gender, he becomes determined to prove himself a real brujo. With the help of his cousin and best friend, Maritza, he performs a ritual 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. Julian is not about to go quietly into death. He's determined to find out what happened to him 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.
