Maggie Stiefvater
An all-new series from the masterful, #1 New York Times bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater!Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue never sees them--until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks to her.His name is Gansey, a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul whose emotions range from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher who notices many things but says very little.For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She doesn't believe in true love, and never thought this would be a problem. But as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she's not so sure anymore.

"This book was recommended to me by a friend. I was kind of wanting more to develop with Ronan and the last line of the book makes me think that maybe he's going to have more of a spotlight in the next book? I'm looking forward to book number 2!"

"It seems cliche in the beginning but the writing style of this whole series is incredible, so unique and keeps your attention. The characters are well developed and realistic, one of my favorite books. "

"I really love this book. The main friend group is made up of pretty complex characters who all have their own separate character growth. They all are pretty different from one another, and the conflict between them is a pretty big part of the plot. Yet, you can’t help but understand and fall in love with their group dynamic. There’s romance and found family, and the dialogue is really funny at times. "
