Maggie Stiefvater's The Dream Thieves
The best books are the ones that can surprise you--where you don't know what's coming but can't wait to find out. And Stiefvater's Raven Cycle (this is the second, after Raven Boys) manages to be just that. I find this extra thrilling--in a world full of predictable YA romances, Stiefvater's characters and storylines are rich, compelling, and unexpected. This one introduces a couple of new characters--a hit man who likes the Kinks and a drug-addicted, drag-racing classmate of the Raven Boys--but keeps the main plot (questing for dead legendary kings and ley lines) going strong. We find out a lot more about the Lynch family (and meet the third Lynch brother), and there are plenty of great moments with Blue, her family of psychics, and of course Gansey and Adam. Really a solid follow-up in what is rapidly becoming one of my favorite series. A/A-.
