Blue Sargent had forgotten how many times she'd been told that she would kill her true love.

Summary (from the publisher)

Blue Sargent, the daughter of the town psychic in Henrietta, Virginia, has been told for as long as she can remember that if she ever kisses her true love, he will die. But she is too practical to believe in things like true love. Her policy is to stay away from the rich boys at the prestigious Aglionby Academy. The boys there — known as Raven Boys — can only mean trouble.

My opinion
If you've read any of Maggie's previous books (Shiver trilogy, The Scorpio Races, Ballad, or Lament), you'll love this one too. Blue, Gansey, Adam, Ronan, and Noah get caught up in a search for the magic surrounding their small town. The quest is dangerous, and possibly fatal. For Blue, there's a more personal side. Is Adam her true love? Or Gansey? Is her mother's prophecy really true?

Favorite Lines
The journal weighted his hands. He didn't need it. He knew everything in it.
But it was him. He was giving everything that he'd worked for away.
