Book of the Week: The Raven Boys

This week I thought I would share another one of my favorite books! The Raven Boys is written by Maggie Stiefvater and takes place in Henrietta, Virginia, a small town placed on a ley line making it a hotspot for strange activity. What I love about it is that each of the five main characters has their own story that works together to build one larger plot in a way that is easy to keep track of but complicated enough to keep readers on the edge of their seat. It is a well written blend of paranormal and mystery with just the right amount of romance and Welsh mythology to keep things interesting. It is one of those books that you really have to read though again after finishing the series to really appreciate the details and subtle plot points dropped throughout the course of the story. The entire series has amazing audiobooks to go with them too, probably some of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to! You can find The Raven Boys and the rest of the Raven Cycle series wherever digital books are, along with their audiobook versions.
