Description

""There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve," Neeve said. "Either you're his true love . . . or you killed him.""
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them--not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is 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 has it all--family money, good looks, devoted friends--but he's looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, 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 never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she's not so sure anymore.
From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the "Shiver" trilogy and "The Scorpio Races," comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and the nature of love lead us to a place we've never been before.

This book was very dense, but in a good way. It was one of those nice dense novels you can snuggle up to, like a thick, warm blanket. Which may be a bit of a strange metaphor, because at times it was also so strange, and dark and heavy with anticipation and something huge and otherworldly looming that I had to put it down for a while. It took me a while to get into the groove of having so many narrators, but I think it worked, and I appreciated how you got a view of all the characters both through their own POV and others’. It wasn’t until the last five chapters or so that it morphed once and for all from a book that you take your time with, where I loved the characters and the mood and atmosphere, into a book that I couldn’t put down. And then somehow, by the last chapter, maybe even the last few pages, the characters I’d enjoyed had become old friends, characters I’m definitely looking forward to spending more time with in the next two books.This was definitely unlike other things I’ve read.
