Blue never sees them--until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks to her.His name is Gansey, a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul whose emotions range from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher who notices many things but says very little.For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She doesn't believe in true love, and never thought this would be a problem. But as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she's not so sure anymore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eAudio File\u003c\/span\u003e 10\/01\/2012 pg. 59 (EAN 9780545465939, Compact Disc) - *Starred Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eAudio File Best Young Adult\u003c\/span\u003e 12\/01\/2012 pg. 35 (EAN 9780545465946, Compact Disc)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eStiefvater, Maggie\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaggie Stiefvater is the #1 \n\u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of the novels \n\u003ci\u003eShiver\u003c\/i\u003e, \n\u003ci\u003eLinger\u003c\/i\u003e, \n\u003ci\u003eForever\u003c\/i\u003e, and \n\u003ci\u003eSinner\u003c\/i\u003e.
