Trailer Teasers (11): The Raven Boys

Trailer Teaser is a meme that is inspired by Teaser Tuesdays. However, instead of words i was going for the opposite. Pictures. When i started this meme i saw some really wonderful trailers and i really wanted to share them, so, i ended up making this meme. Hope you enjoy!

About the book:


The Raven Boys (Raven Cycle #1) 
by Maggie Stiefvater
Pages: 408
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Pub date: September 18th 2012

Synopsis:

“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him;Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races, comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before.

The trailer:   


I loooooove this trailer! I love the music! I love the drawing! I just love everything about it! In addition, i think it's even more amazing, because Maggie has taken part in making the trailer; the music, the drawing and more. 

I'm pretty sure, by now, everyone is eagerly waiting to get heir hands on this book. I am, for sure.

What do you think of it?

Review: Linger by Maggie Stiefvater


Linger (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #2)
by Maggie Stiefvater
Pages: 416
Publisher: Scholastic
Pub date: July 20th 2010

Synopsis:
Grace and Sam must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping dangerous secrets. For Sam, it means grappling with his werewolf past ...and figuring out a way to survive the future.

But just when they manage to find happiness, Grace finds herself changing in ways she could never have expected...


Review:

I've read this a while ago but don't really know how to write this review now. Anyway, here it goes.

Sam and Grace are finally together. But when new problems arise they don't know what to do. Beck's gone and never will turn back to a human again and he has left new wolves for Sam to look after. One of the new wolves, Cole, is weird. He picked to be a wolf. He likes to be not human but when he meets Isabelle he doesn't know if he wants to be a wolf anymore. Grace is sick with a high fever and she knows what's coming. Sam is finally free but there are still bits and bobs to sort out. With everything is going bad like this Sam and Grace are caught together in her room. Sam doesn't know what to do. Grace doesn't know what to do. Cole doesn't know what to do. Isabelle doesn't know what to do. But it's there somewhere in the back of their heads that they do know what they need to do.

You know when the book is so slow paced that you're flicking through it every 5 second? Yep. That's what you do when you read Linger. Maggie doesn't leave you disappointment after Shiver. With everything going good there always has to be problems.

The new characters in this book are interesting and i also love the new POVs of Cole and Isabelle. Right now, for some reason, i am favouring Cole and Isabelle over Grace and Sam. I can't wait to see what happens between Cole and Isabelle in Forever.

And the million dollar (I can't say pounds. Dollars sound cooler.) Question is: When will she turn into a wolf? Linger kept on teasing you with every page on Grace becoming a wolf. I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I highly recommend Linger. I can't wait to read Forever. I hope it doesn't disappoint me.

My rating:

About the author:

All of Maggie Stiefvater's life decisions have been based around her inability to be gainfully employed. Talking to yourself, staring into space, and coming to work in your pajamas are frowned upon when you're a waitress, calligraphy instructor, or technical editor (all of which she's tried), but are highly prized traits in novelists and artists. She's made her living as one or the other since she was 22. She now lives an eccentric life in the middle of nowhere, Virginia with her charmingly straight-laced husband, two kids, two neurotic dogs, and a 1973 Camaro named Loki.
