Book one of The Raven Cycle series. A mixture of supernatural and mystery.
Blue Sargent isn't like most girls. To her she considers herself different from the others around her. Her mother, Maura is a physic and keeps warning Blue to stay away from the Raven boys. She keeps telling her mom, that it's not a problem. She isn't crazy about them anyways because they are all rich. Every year, her and her mom sit at an abandon church watching the dead which right off she can't see. This night her and Neeve are there first and while just looking around, Blue sees a ghost of a teenage boy. She asks his name and he says, Gansey.
Gansey, Adam, Ronan and Noah are at the church and Gansey is listening to a recording he did and he can hear his voice and a girls voice. He's not sure what to make of this. He's been trying to find the ley lines so he can find Glendower. He's some kind of king. He wants to bring him back so he can get some kind of special power. Gansey, doesn't know much about Blue tell they take a trip to see her mother. He has questions and needs to ask a physic for some answers. Once Blue's mother finds out what his name is and the boys that are with him, she becomes quite rude. Which doesn't give them many answers at all.
Mr. Whelks is one of their teachers and what they don't know is he knows all about the ley lines. Noah was with him and he's a ghost now because of it. Things are said, to him one early even about Gansey talking about ley lines and it intrigues him to want to find out more. Snoopy, snoopy, he becomes.
After meeting Blue, the Rave boys and her begin to start hanging out together. Blue is still remembering something her mother said, about not kissing a boy because she might kill him. Adam likes her and Blue is getting used to Gansey. He can be a little intimidating. Ronan ends up finding a baby raven and starts taking care of it.
Over all, things start to get a little weird, finding certain things they didn't think they would find and Gansey getting more excited about those new things. He can't wait to meet the king. Mr. Whelks may have another opinion of the whole think.
You'll have to pick up the book to see what happens. I loved how this book turned out. Tell the next time, pick up a good book you never know you might like it too.
