The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater Review

Image
One book down, twenty-four to go! WOOP! 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 Gansey is different. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more. 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 told by her psychic family that she will kill her true love. She never thought this wo...

Unfinished Series Part 2

Image
Hello! A while ago I did a post about some of my unfinished series. Since I am a terrible reader and the list of unfinished series has only grown, I’ve decided to give you an update on that list! I read Rebel Belle back when it first came out and LOVED it! It really is a quick and fun read that still has some amazing characters. Sadly I haven’t had the chance to read any of the other books in the series yet, but I really want to continue the series in April when book three comes out! When B lue Lily Lily Blue came out and I decided to wait to pick it up. When I finally picked it up in May of last year I was already getting into a reading slump that I just recently got out of. I might wait until The Raven King comes out then binge the whole series over again in order to catch up. I was late to the party with this series considering I didn’t start reading Cinder until last May, but I really enjoyed it! Then I moved onto Scarlet in the fall, but of course the d...
