Awesome cast of characters and a really gripping plot. I'm a sucker for paranormal TV shows so this had a hint of that with the way Gansey was obsessively looking for answers, and I just loved it <3 Full review to come!

❝ Aglionby Academy was the number one reason Blue had developed her two rules: One, stay away from boys because they were trouble. And two, stay away from Aglionby boys, because they were bastards.

I loved this so much! It was a perfect read for fall. Had all the spooky vibes I adore. I love all of the characters. The writing was gorgeous. I’m super excited to continue with the next book in the series.

This book has captured my heart with the characters - Blue, Gansey, Noah, Ronan, and Adam. I loved the development of each and seeing them grow as individuals. I had not yet read any books by Maggie S. until the raven boys. I have come to love her writing and the way she changes POV.

I am a reader that particulary doesn't like the changing of POVs;however with the books I have read so far, I have come to quite enjoy the different perspectives.

I can't wait to move onto The Dream Theives ...more

I liked this but not as much as some of Stiefvater's other works. I had a hard time getting into it. Maybe it is all the hype around this book. I did like it, I just didn't love it. Pretentious boys and a girl who says she won't get involved and then does. Hmm...I'll continue with the series because it is so well loved but I don't think it will quite be one a month like I thought.

PB Taco Random - Read the first book in a series you haven't read before.
