The third installment in the mesmerizing series from the irrepressible, #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater.

Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs.

The trick with found things, though, is how easily they can be lost.

Friends can betray.

Mothers can disappear.

Visions can mislead.

Certainties can unravel.
  

Review
Blur lily, lily blue by Maggie Stiefvater is a wonderful tale of a girl growing up to be a women along with her four boys who are up against something way beyond there maturity rates. There quest to find and wake Glendower becomes more treacherous the closer they get. They must find blue's mother and keep from waking the third sleeper.
It is wonderfully written and easy to follow keep in you interested with a few plot twist along the way. You get to watch each character's role in the quest finally unfold, and I must say I wish I felt this big of a connection with my friends. I am very concerned on what will happen with Noah in the next book. I tried hard to find something bad to tell you about this book but it was the best book yet in this series.
With that being said I recommend this book to anyone who likes a twist on history, something daring, or something mythical. This isn't the book to read if you looking for any real romance, so you've been warned. I give this book five stars

One word, incredible. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater There was an incredible mix of romance, action, and wit.
 The main women character, puck, fights for what is right. She battle with herself between what she wants and what she
needs, and what is right. She fights for women rights. Another incredible thing is the chemistry between Puck and Sean, the other main character. Sean plays the mysteries character that everyone cant help fall slowly in love with. So all in all it was an incredible book with action and romance. Maggie Stiefvater draws you into this parallel universe of ours.
 I give this book four stars. ****

"There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve. Either you're his true love... or you killed him."

 

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, and he's 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 Boy: 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.

Review

The raven boys by Maggie Stiefvater is full of twist and turns that keep you on your toes. The Raven Boys remind me of why I love to read. The thrill of being drawn into the fantasy world where anything can happen. Maggie Stiefvater has created a world to relate to everyday people. The teenagers struggle with juggling there crazy lives and overbearing parents. Blue, the main character, struggles with a love life that shouldn't exist, and come on ladies everyone knows how that feels.


I cant think of a single part in all  408 pages Where there was a part that you could just put the book down and stop. When reading I would suggest just clearing your night and the next the morning cause your going to be really mad if someone was to drag you away from this amazing book. You'll fall in love with each and every character except for the antagonist of course. You'll cry along with the characters but don't worry you'll smile as well. SO to conclude this book I give it five stars.
