I Can’t Wait For…Between the Walls by Caspian Faye
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about but haven’t yet read. Most of the time they’re books that have yet to be released, but not always. It’s based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme, which was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
You can find the releases I’m most anticipating this year over on my Unmissable list, but I use Can’t-Wait Wednesday to feature books I’m hopeful about but aren’t 100% sure will be five star reads.
This week my Can’t-Wait-For Book is Between the Walls by Caspian Faye!

When James Thorne and his recently divorced dad move into their new house, in a new town, looking for a new start, James can’t help thinking about all he’s left behind.
Missing his best friend, his high-maintenance boyfriend, and troubled by the paranormal occurrences rattling his nerves, James wishes he’d never moved.
But when his presence awakens Nathaniel, the ghost of a seventeen year old trans boy who has haunted the walls of this house since the 1700s, things take a surprising turn.
After a false start or two, Nathaniel and James hit it off, an easy connection that could become something more.
But only if they survive.
Because Nathaniel isn’t the only ghost haunting this house.In the basement hides a dark entity, longing to escape, to claim their souls.
Can James and Nathaniel cross the boundaries of the living and the dead in order to see each other and themselves for who they truly are?
Tiny Ghost Press are an indie publisher I keep a close eye on – their stuff is always queer and outside-the-box! – and Between the Walls caught my eye in their latest newsletter. Its premise reminds me a little of Violet Ghosts – though maybe only because they both tick the boxes for YA, trans, and ghost-romance?
Ghost/living romances have so much potential to be really interesting – what does sex mean if you can’t touch? Can you build anything long-term when one of you will age and one won’t? And that’s without the question of, is the ghost involved stuck in one location? Because if they are, that adds another layer of complication!
What does ‘happily ever after’ look like, when one of you’s already dead?
Plus – scary thing in the basement! Most romances don’t have to worry about something like that!
You can preorder directly from the publisher here!
