Teaser Tuesday (5)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

The Raven Boys (Raven Cycle #1) by Maggie Stiefvater


Hardcover, 408 pages
Expected publication: September 18th 2012 by Scholastic Press


Blue had two rules: Stay away from boys, because they're trouble, and stay away from raven boys, because they were bastards. ~ page 81


"Thanks for coming, Jane," Gansey said.
Blue shot him a dirty look. "You're welcome, Dick." ~ page 265

There is a seriousness in The Raven Boys due to the dire warnings about Blue causing her true love to die. (That is not a spoiler - it's in the book's synopsis.) But we also get a bit of cheeky humor, inside jokes, and one-liners that keep the story from being too heavy.
