The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1)

by Maggie Stiefvater

Ronan said, “I’m always straight.” Adam replied, “Oh, man, that’s the biggest lie you’ve ever told.”

As Adam stared at his lap, penitent, he mused that there was something

musical about Ronan when he swore, a careful and loving precision to the way he fit the words together, a black-painted poetry.

“We have to be back in three hours,” Ronan said. “I just fed Chainsaw but she’ll need it again.” “This,” Gansey replied, “is precisely why I didn’t want to have a baby with you.”

“Where do you live?” Adam’s mouth was very set. “A place made for leaving.” “That’s not really an answer.” “It’s not really a place.”

Ronan’s smile cut his face, but he looked kinder than Blue had ever seen him, like the raven in his hand was his heart, finally laid bare.
