The Midnight Gardener by R.G. Thomas
3.0
Thaddeus Cane's mother died when he was a baby. He's spent as much of his life as he can remember with his father, moving so frequently from town to town that he's never really made any friends. But when they arrive in Superstition, Thaddeus hopes they might be in a place where they can stay for a while.
One evening, Thaddeus looks out his window and sees a young man tending to the garden next door. There's something intriguing about him, and Thaddeus finds himself paying attention whenever he sees the man out there--though he's curiously only out at night. And when Thaddeus finds himself running from a wild animal a few nights later, he crawls over the fence and into the presence of Teofil. From there, things begin to get really strange and Thaddeus soon learns there is much more to his life and his history than he ever could have imagined.

I love young adult fantasy. Toss in a light m/m element, and I'll read it up as easily as drinking a cup of tea. While this one is a bit slow in the beginning (though it's necessary for readers to connect to Thaddeus), it picks up quickly. And the backstory is definitely very interesting.
I look forward to the next book in this series. I need to know what happens between Thaddeus and Teofil, and I also need to know if Thaddeus and crew are successful in their quest.
