The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
The American South: slow, humid, mysterious, sultry, lazy, romantic, haunting. Welcome to Henrietta, Virginia, home to a family of clairvoyants, including Blue Sargent. Well, sort of. She can’t really do anything but enhance others’ abilities. And she’s destined to meet her true love, and kill him with a kiss.
Henrietta is also home to Aglionby Academy, an elite boys’ prep school, where Gansey is studying. But, he’s also searching for something a lot darker and older than a quality education: the resting place of a Welsh king. Having inherited enough money to keep him extremely comfortable his whole life, he has been able to travel the world searching for this king, and the ley lines that might point the way to him.
The world for Blue, Gansey, Adam, and Ronan will irrevocably change.
I’m loving the mystery and secrecy that the South can always bring to a story, the light magic in the people, the town, the strange and wondrously terrifying events that inevitably occur.
