HazelthornHazelthorn

Evander knows what it is to be buried alive the quiet fitting around him like a well-tailored grave. From the day he was taken in by his reclusive billionaire guardian, Evander has lived like a ghost in the forgotten corners of the Hazelthorn estate. He can never leave, he can never go into the gardens, and he can never be alone with Laurie, the boy who tried to kill him amongst the roses seven years ago. The boy he is secretly obsessed with. But when his guardian is murdered, and Evander inherits Hazelthorn, Laurie may be the only one who can help him find his guardian's killer before he is next. As dark secrets unravel, moss bleeds through the walls, vines coil around the furniture and poisonous mushrooms flourish beneath the floorboards. Evander must discover what he's really inherited before it demands to be fed once more.
