Filled with mystery, romance, and the supernatural, The Raven Boys introduces readers to Richard “Dick” Campbell Gansey, III and Blue Sargent. Gansey has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on the hunt to find Glendower, a vanished Welsh king. Legend has it that the first person to find him will be granted a wish—either by seeing him open his eyes, or by cutting out his heart.
Blue Sargent, the daughter of the town psychic in Henrietta, Virginia, has been told for as long as she can remember that if she ever kisses her true love, he will die. But she is too practical to believe in things like true love. Her policy is to stay away from the rich boys at the prestigious Aglionby Academy. The boys there—known as Raven Boys—can only mean trouble. When Gansey and his Raven Boy friends come into her life, Blue realizes how true this is. She never thought her fortune would be a problem. But she was wrong.
This one is definitely going to be on my wishlist!
This one definitely sounds interesting, but I haven't always had the best luck with Maggie's books. I might still check this one out, though :0)
ReplyDeleteOooo this sounds marvelous. And I always seem to enjoy Maggie's book. Awesome find. This title is new to me.
ReplyDeleteSide note: Gorgeous cover!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I can't wait to read this one! I didn't like the Shiver books, but I LOVE The Scorpio Races, and this looks like a really fun book. Great pick!

I don't know why, but I just can't get into her books. I'm going to give this a try when it comes out, because I really want to like her!

Awesome choice! I've seen this one a lot lately and I'm with you all: It looks amazing and I can't wait for it either now!
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm waiting on!
Good pick! I am curious about this one. All of her books are so different from each other and she is a talented writer.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! I'm really excited about this one. Maggie writes such eclectic novels but has such a way with prose--love it.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I've never read one of her books? I have a feeling I'll really like them though - especially the writing.
ReplyDeleteI have not been the biggest fan of Maggie Stiefvater's books but this book looks really good!

Definitely sounds fun and interesting. Didn't Chloe King's kiss kill too? What a bummer!
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSSS! I'm so excited she's coming out with a new series (hopefully a series), I only wish it wasn't so far away:(
ReplyDeleteLove the cover! It makes me want to go and read some Edgar Allan Poe...lol.

I'm kind of hit and miss with Stiefvater, but this series sounds intriguing. I might need to check it out!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds REALLY good. I haven't read any of her books before, but I think this one will be read :D
ReplyDeleteGreat pick, Lea!
Great pick. I love the cover. It's dark and very different from her Shiver series cover.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds quite different from the Shiver series. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
