The Raven Boys/Maggie Stiefvater/408 pgs.
Blue Sargent comes from of family of psychics. While she hasn't "psychic" powers as such, Blue is able to assist psychics by "amplifying" their talent--they can "see" more clearly in her presence. Every year Blue accompanies her mom, Maura (a clairvoyant), on the "soon-to-be dead" walk. Something different happens this time: Blue sees a boy emerge from the walk. His name is Gansey--a student from a private school, Aglionby. The students are referred to as "Raven boys," and Blue soon becomes a part of the Gansey, Ronan, Adam, and Noah group. She learns that Gansey is on the hunt for a ley line, which he hopes will lead to the awakening of the legendary King Glendower. The awakening of Glendower will result in a reward for the person who achieves it. This is a great beginning for a series. Hunger Games fans and Divergent fans should consider this series. Highly recommended!
