When I at first saw this book, I wasn't interested.
It was kind of like the "judge a book by it's cover" thing.
But the cover wasn't the problem, the problem was...
the title.
"The Raven Boys"
I don't know if it was just me, but for some reason that made me think that the book was about ravens... that are boys.
I found that weird, odd, and not very interesting.
But I kept seeing this book on Goodreads so I decided to see what was such a big deal.
As it turns out, this book is not about ravens that are boys!
It's about ghosts, a dead guy, and the hunt for the mysterious!
(It's honestly very hard to explain what the book is about if you haven't read the book)
The strange thing is, there is NO ROMANCE in this book!
Based on the synopsis you would think there would be romance...
"For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die."
Sure, this might become more important further on in the series but this book seems to be more about what I will call "the hunt for the mysterious".
This book was an interesting read.
But it was also confusing, there seemed to be a lot of parts that made no sense and parts that you might think are pointless but actually end up having a point.
I know this makes no sense but there were a lot of times in the book where I had no idea what the heck was going on but overall, I give this book about 3.6 stars!
