The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
The second book in The Raven Cycle focuses more on Ronan and his ability to pull items out of his dreams. We are also introduced to a new character called the Gray Man. As the story progresses it continues to build with intensity off the first book. I also began to pick up hints about the location of Glendower and how it ties back to Gansey. I love the character developments in this book and can't wait to read Blue Lily, Lily Blue the third book in the series. I give this a 5/5 star rating and highly recommend the series to those who have not read it. Also be on the look out because the final installment of the series The Raven King is coming out on April 26, 2016.

Paper Towns by John Green
I began reading this book at the beginning of 2016 and was really into it. I like the way it started and I like the characters, but I got farther into the book the slower it seemed to drag on. I sat the book down and never really picked it back up again. I give this a 3.5/5 star review.
Ignite by Erica Crouch
I started reading back in January during my winter break. At first I was into it but the farther I got into it the less I began to like. I found the main character Pen to be just too dramatic for my taste. Plus the font size in this was small and it caused me to have headaches when trying to read it as well. All in all I didn't like this book. I would give this a 2.5/5 star review.

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
The Raven Boys is the first book in The Raven Cycle series. It follows the story of four boys and one girl. Gansey is joined by his friends Noah, Adam, Ronan, and Blue on his search for the Welsh King Glendower.
I give the book a 5/5 star review. What I really liked about this book is that it focuses on Welsh mythology, psychics and tarot cards. Along with the journey of these five friends as they come closer to finder Glendower and maybe even death. These are elements that are rarely seen in novels. I also loved the way Maggie Stiefvater introduces and describes the character. Each has their own appearance, style, personalities, and motivation as to why they are on this search for the king. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the setting as well. I highly recommend this book.
