The Hollow and the Haunted: The First of the Hollow and the Haunted Duology -- Camilla Raines, Paperback

In this darkly magical fantasy debut set in Washington State, a closeted teenage psychic foresees the death of his sworn enemy, and is forced to work with him to save his life. Sparks fly, but some ghosts don't want to stay buried...

Perfect for fans of atmospheric queer fantasy romance, including The Raven Cycle, Cemetery Boys and Sixteen Souls.

Miles Warren hails from a long line of psychics. Resigned to a life in the family business, Miles is perfectly happy, thank you very much. Apart from the fact he hasn't told anyone he's gay, and that he's constantly exhausted from long nights spent wrangling angry ghosts in creepy cemeteries. Perfectly happy.

Miles' comfortable routine is interrupted when he starts having visions of an unfamiliar boy. He soon learns the stranger is none other than Gabriel Hawthorne, whose family have a mysterious, decades-long feud with Miles' own--and that the visions are a premonition of his murder. Gabriel is everything Miles expects from a Hawthorne: rude, snobbish, irritatingly good-looking. But that doesn't mean Miles is just going to stand by and let someone kill him.

The two form an uneasy alliance, trying to solve Gabriel's murder before it happens. As they begin to unravel the web of secrets between their families, and with dark magic swirling around them, Miles is horrified to realize that he doesn't hate Gabriel quite as much as he's supposed to. He might even like him.

Too bad Gabriel is almost certainly going to die.
