Being a Latinx gay teen in Texas isn't easy, and to make things worse, Cade's step-dad gets him a job on a ranch for the summer. Toss in a fascination with horror movies, and he becomes convinced something dark and mysterious is going on with the family that owns the ranch. Great characters, first love, and some twists keep you engaged from the first page to the last. *note: the animal death noted in the content warning is a mouse and it is not tortured, or anyone's pet.
Graphic: Bullying, Homophobia, Racial slurs, and Grief
Moderate: Alcoholism and Death of parent
Minor: Suicidal thoughts
