Four boys, one girl, a death sentence (of some sorts) and a quest. Let me tell you what that spells – TROUBLE! (And, of course, an amazing book!)

From the minute Blue could comprehend what she was hearing – she was told that if she kissed her true love, he would die. Sad, right? True love, destiny and everything that comes with it – deep down, we just love to believe all of it!

Living in a house filled to the brim with psychics could easily drive anyone up the wall. Not Blue, though. She has all the warnings she needs from them – and a few of her own. Stay Away from boys – especially The Raven Boys. Of course, fate never really lets us do what we want, right?

The Raven Boys follow a gang of misfits on a quest to find ley lines (read it!) who meet Blue – and who better for the boys to take with them while looking for energy lines that someone who amplifies it?

This book is simply brilliant! Told in a slow pace, there are so many well thought out things about the plot and the characters – just little things that make them so realistic and so dreamy! Each of Gansey's (the leaders) friends has a different personality; an aura that make them so different you could only wish you knew them. There is always that eerie supernatural element hanging over your head – right after the first chapter!

There were so many things I loved about this book – and I fear listing them would only take too long!

All I can say is I'm so looking forward to getting my hands on the next one!
