Hazelthorn

Viscerally atmospheric and beautifully eerie-Hazelthorn will take root inside you, drag you into its strange, thorny depths, and make you want to stay there forever. I devoured this book. -- Pascale Lacelle, New York Times bestselling author of Curious Tides

A beautifully written, modern-yet-gothic murder mystery full of wretched boys, tangled secrets, and a horrifying sentient garden. Devour it, lest it devour you. -- Jamie Pacton, bestselling author of The Absinthe Underground

CG Drews unleashes a gorgeous atmospheric narrative that rots through the boundaries of YA horror and gives the reader a visceral and unsettling tale of murder, mania, loyalty and a garden with much more bite than you would expect. I loved every single second of this haunting book, and the twists absolutely had me screaming. This is the botanical queer horror that readers never knew they needed. -- Emily Varga, bestselling author of For She Is Wrath

In Hazelthorn's darkly gothic gardens, CG Drews conjures up a haunting nightmare dense with botanical horror, and in Evander, a rage-filled boy to root for. -- Amy Goldsmith, author of Those We Drown

A lush, gothic tale filled with devastating twists, delicious atmosphere, and toxic family secrets. Drews delivers another obsession-worthy masterpiece in Hazelthorn-one that's as hauntingly beautiful as the eponymous manor. -- Kelsea Yu, author of It’s Only a Game

The eerie creeping atmosphere and Drews' way of mixing horror with romance, especially that obsession that Evander has, just makes this book so consumable. I was struggling to put it down . . . can't wait to be emotionally devastated by whatever CG Drews writes next. -- Julia S, Dymocks Bookseller ― Netgalley
