The Raven Boys – Maggie Steifvater I’ve only just finished this and immediately had to order the next book in the series, I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I don’t think the blurb does the book justice as it’s described as more of a YA boy/girl story but there is so much more … [Read more…]
