Hazelthorn

When Evander's reclusive guardian dies under suspicious circumstances, he inherits a sprawling gothic estate—and all the dark secrets buried within it. There's just one problem: the mansion's overgrown gardens are actively alive, creeping vines and sinister spores seeping through every corridor, and the only person who might help him uncover the truth is Laurie, the charming heir who tried to kill him seven years ago. As Evander and Laurie navigate the decaying grandeur of Hazelthorn, their dangerous obsession reignites alongside a mounting horror: something in those gardens is hungry, and it's been waiting to feed. This is a gorgeously twisted tale of murder, botanical nightmares, and forbidden desire that will leave you haunted long after the final page.
