Hollow and the Haunted

Perfect for fans of atmospheric queer fantasy romance. 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. But Miles's comfortable routine is interrupted when he starts having visions of an unfamiliar boy. He soon learns the stranger is Gabriel Hawthorne, whose family have a mysterious, decades-long feud with Miles's own-and that the visions are a premonition of his murder. Gabriel is everything Miles expects from a Hawthorne: rude, haughty, 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 probably going to die.

In this thrilling sequel to The Hollow and the Haunted, the web of dark magic around two rival families becomes ever more difficult to untangle. Time is running out, and the dead are hungry . . . Gabriel Hawthorne is missing, and Miles Warren-psychic, co-conspirator, and aspiring boyfriend-is terrified. All their efforts so far have failed. The prophecy stands unbroken; if the future remains unchanged, Gabriel will die. Armed with Florence's grimoire, they might stand a chance of breaking the Hawthorne curse and preventing Gabriel's murder-but only if Miles can find him. Meanwhile, Miles's parents are still furious that he's been helping Gabriel at all-and they don't even know the half of it. The mystery of the century-long feud between their two families continues to deepen, but Miles is certain that healing the rift is key to lifting the curse and saving Gabriel's life. Plus, he'd like his parents to give the boy he's maybe, sort-of dating a chance. With new premonitions changing everything and the dark power of the grimoire whispering in their ears, Miles and Gabriel are running out of time. Both their lives are on the line, and danger lives closer to home than they know . . .
