"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.
