About this listen
Evander has lived like a ghost in the forgotten corners of the Hazelthorn estate ever since he was taken in by his reclusive billionaire guardian.
He can never leave, he can never go in the gardens and he can never be alone with Laurie, the boy who tried to kill him seven years ago.
But when his guardian is murdered and Evander inherits Hazelthorn, Laurie may be the only one who can help him find the killer.
As dark secrets unravel, moss bleeds though the walls, poisonous mushrooms flourish beneath the floorboards, and Evander must discover what he's really inherited before Hazelthorn's garden demands to be fed.©2025 CG Drews
Critic Reviews
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)
