Maggie Stiefvater

An all-new series from the masterful, #1 New York Times bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater! "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:

"I listened to the audiobook. It's a pretty good book but I got lost trying to remember who all the characters were. "

"I could not finish this book, I was bored and overall just confused by it. I have no idea if the series gets better or not but 0/5 for me personally."

"This one is more academia adjacent; they attend a private prep school but have intense private academic interests"

"Whoo boy this is a weird one to rate. For starters, this is not my first attempt at reading it. Twice I couldn't get into it, once before I even knew that it's popular (both times after reading the Scorpio Races, one of my all time faves, though). (In this book's defense I used to finish maybe 1/6th of the books I started. Haha remember when I had standards for what I did with my time?) I thought it must not be popular because I thought the cover was ugly. (I still stand by that btw, fricking blue boyband). Anyway, this time I was gonna give it a shot, and this time I had Expectations, and my expectations only grew as I got into the book. The atmosphere is really great and there's sooo many characters I like (sooo many) and I'm like yes this is gonna be fun. But the fun took so long to come and in it's place there was a bunch of predictable, sometimes even tedious/irritating sludge and I'm like this book is gonna be three stars, isn't it? How disappointing. But then, despite myself, the last 20% was exciting and the sides of my mouth are doing a bit of a smiley thing, and my most terrible fears about how certain things were gonna come out did not come to fruition. So basically this is a good book. But it can lose some hype. The hype is what did me in. With all the components that are literally already in this, I should've adored it. But I only like it, and that's your fault. Lol. I don't know who I'm addressing with that. Oh also the audiobook was great and a wonderful decision."

"I’ve just started reading the raven boys so please no heavy spoilers, but I just had a question. Is this book gay? I was told this was gay but I’m questioning it. That’s all. It’s good so far but I think people were leading me on."
