Though she is from a family of clairvoyants, Blue Sargent's only gift seems to be that she makes other people's talents stronger. When she meets Gansey, one of the boys from the expensive Aglionby Academy, she discovers that he has talents of his own--and that together their talents are a dangerous mix. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as "raven boys", they can only mean trouble. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the raven boys, she's not so sure anymore.

Reread 2022

I love the writing, even when it's more poetic it flows very well with the story and ambiance, and the setting in Henrietta with the mix of supernatural is great. Honestly the characters are also great, all in their own ways, Gansey and Blue.. anyway even it's a reread I was still surprised and forgot things, will continue for sure^^
