Maggie Stiefvater delivers a great read in the "Raven Boys." Blue Sargeant is the daughter of a psychic known throughout town, and every year her mother brings her to the local graveyard to scry, or predict, all who will die within a year. They are all invisible to Blue, all of them, that is, except a strange boy who approaches her and introduces himself as Gansey, a student at Aglionby, the prestigious boys school in town. Upon meeting Gansey, Blue is introduced to his vast, complicated world and his eccentric friends, all of whom are on an age-old quest that requires Blue's help. Blue is faced with many challenges and dangers, and hopefully she can keep herself and her friends safe. This book was a breath of fresh air; I've never read a book quite like this. I fell in love with the characters and could not put the book down until I knew their fates.
