Book description
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. 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.Review"Brimming with mystery, romance, and suspense, The Hollow and the Haunted is a charmingly eerie romp chock-full of deadly hauntings, snarky and heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance, and twisty family secrets that will have readers at the edge of their seats. Raines is certainly one to watch." Kayla Cottingham, New York Times bestselling author of My Dearest Darkest "An exciting, heartfelt paranormal world I adored spending time in. Queer disaster teens, magical mystery, scary spirits and a slow burn enemies to lovers romance that will have you screaming 'just kiss you fools!' I loved every moment!" Rosie Talbot, author of Sixteen Souls "An utterly charming debut from start to finish. The Hollow and the Haunted balances unsavory crushes, familial tension, and mysterious curses with a heavy dose of heart." Tori Bovalino, author of My Throat an Open GraveAbout the AuthorCamilla Raines is the author of The Hollow and the Haunted . She was born and raised in a small town in northern Washington State with lots of evergreen trees, seaside fog, and rainy days. Her writing career began in elementary school, where she spent years scribbling down stories for friends that were usually just knock-offs of whatever book she was devouring at the time. As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and someone who openly struggles with chronic anxiety and depression, the most important things to her as a writer are representation, diversity, identity, and acceptance.
