The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater 409 pp.
Blue, the daughter of a psychic, has no psychic powers of her own. However, she does have the ability to increase the powers of others just by being near them. She also knows that if ever she kisses her true love, it will cause his death. She is pretty sure this means Gansy, a student at nearby Aglionby, a private school for wealthy boys, whose students are known locally as the "Raven Boys."
Gansy and fellow student, Adam, are searching for a way to access a local ley line which will lead them to Glendower, an ancient Welsh king. In addition to the search there is the discovery of a murder, a student who isn't really alive, an abusive parent, and multiple conflicts between the haves and have nots in the small town of Henrietta, Virginia. This is the first book in a trilogy. It didn't impress me enough to make me want to continue with the other books.
