The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater (2012)

Blue Sargent has been told she’ll kill her true love — but that doesn’t stop her from getting tangled up with a group of private-school boys searching for a dead Welsh king. Stiefvater’s writing hums with mystery, humor, and melancholy. It’s an unforgettable blend of ghost story, friendship, and myth.
