The Raven Boys are made up of our main four boys: Gansey, Adam, Noah, and Ronan. They are from the elite all-boys school called, Aglionby Academy, all who are so very different from one another. They are in search of something that makes them cross paths with our main character Blue. A daughter of a psychic within a family of them, she is the only one not gifted with sight per say, but rather the ability to amplify others' gifts. 

What could possibly bring these teens together and what could Gansey be so desperately seeking that he drags this unlikely group into a quest for something long thought lost to time. Not to mention all the secrets that each is keeping to themselves. Join the raven boys and Blue in their quest for a Welsh myth to come to life.

Full review will come, maybe/probably when I’m done the whole series. 
What a start to a series. This was so fun and fast and devastating and GOOD.

It’s been so long since I’ve felt consumed by a YA series (positive)!

I’ve been putting off this series for… well, years. I can’t say I’m disappointed in the slightest. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The paranormal components were done spectacularly, feeling harmonized with the everyday reality of Henrietta. I can’t wait to read the other books. My only main complaint is how the last chapter wrapped things up.

I wish that we had more between what the hell Adam did and the last chapter. Some kind of explanation and a reason as to how they’re all still friends. Because honestly I would want to rid myself of him SO FAST. Like I know he was hurting and he had some shit going on but… nah. I’d cut him off.
