Broken Maps by Mato C. Lawrence
When Grayson shows up to his best friend’s birthday party, he’s not braced for Dario: the man who broke his heart. But Grayson’s night takes an even worse turn when the birthday girl unwraps a gift that should’ve stayed buried: a haunted, furious grimoire demanding to be returned to its long-dead owner.
Now Grayson, Dario, and their two best friends are crammed into a van, speeding from California to New York with the world’s angriest spellbook—and not nearly enough snacks. For some reason Dario’s the only one who can keep the grimoire from going nuclear, which means Grayson has no choice but to rely on him. Worse? Dario’s being nice—like, charming, heroic, maddeningly hard-to-hate nice.
As their trip spirals into chaos, it becomes clear they’re being hunted by two powerful covens, each willing to kill for the grimoire’s blood magic. The book might be the death of them all—and if it isn’t, Grayson’s rapidly rekindling feelings for Dario just might.
