Status Updates From Cemetery Boys (Cemetery Boy...

... The other missing people, the fact that Julian's portaje was at the old church in the first place, the lore about Bahlam... I saw some reviews complaining about all the action happening in the last 15%. I mean, sure, but between developing the lore and developing the love story and being a coming of age for Yadriel as a trans brujo, the first 84% had to be sweet and quiet and angsty and kind of slice-of-life.

I'm not done for the night, because there's no way I could stop here, but I wanted to note the point at which all hell is going to break loose. Up till this point, our boys had a lovely lovely day together, and even shared a ghost kiss (EEEE!!!) but now all the little clues have led us here: the inability to cut Julian's tether, the weird attacks he's had, the missing blood sacrifice relic, the uncle with no power...

The story is finally moving forward.

Omg not even a chapter in and already I'm loving this

When I first read this, some reviews said they didn't see chemistry between Yads and Jules. How?! Julian validates Yadriel, he's kind, he cares about finding Yadriel's cousin. They complement each other, they bring each other joy. Yeah, I suppose they could just be friends, except Yadriel at least is attracted to Julian. They're a good match. And come on, they're 16! It's not like I'd expect adult chemistry anyway.
