Avaline Hall is no ordinary girl.She’s a student at Blythewood Academy, an elite boarding school that trains young women to defend human society from the shadowy forces that live among us. After the devastating events of her first year at Blythewood, Ava is eager to reunite with her friends—and with Raven, the compelling but elusive winged boy who makes her pulse race. She soon discovers, though, that the sinister Judicus van Drood hasn’t finished wreaking havoc on Blythewood—and wants to use Ava and her classmates to attack a much bigger target.
Ava’s the only one with any hope of stopping van Drood. But to scuttle his plans, she must reveal her deepest secret to everyone at Blythewood. What’s she willing to sacrifice to do what’s right—her school? Her love? Or her life?

4 stars, maybe 3.5. I still dont understand why goodreads doesnt allow half stars ???? I enjoyed this just as much as the first, but in an entirely different way. This one had far more action and togetherness, while the first was more about learning. I really really appreciate what Goodman has done with inserting history into the story. In my opinion, granted I wasnt terribly knowledgeable about said history to begin with, its done incredibly well. I kept getting lost on google images looking upI got the book for free at New York Comic Con, so I went into it completely blind. I didn't even realize it was the second book in a series until a couple pages in. Though there were some parts that confused me because of it (like Nathan somehow being able to attend an all-girls school), I was able to follow along well enough. I really enjoyed Ava's journey and her blossoming romance with Raven, as well as all it entailed.I wish the world was fleshed out a bit more. Even though it was over 400
I enjoyed this one, though it felt quite different from the first. The biggest change for me was that the focus of this story was not the school. So much happened in this one. We find out who Ava's father is, Ava struggles to hide what she is from those closest to her, two of her teachers express their love for each other (didn't see that one coming and squee'd appropriately), carnies, explosions and ice skating.One of the things I liked about this series was the lack of a lurve triangle.
This was me when I saw this book. And this will be me until this book is in my hands.3/3/14: December? Ugh. But at least we now have a cover and a synopsis. Yay!
I have to say I loved Blythewood. I loved the world that was created with all its problems. It was such a great read about Darklings and Fey and the Humans charged to protect the world. I Learned a lot about he world in the first book. I really enjoyed delving into Ava and her past. WE got to find out what happened to her mother and father and what made her who she is. I also liked seeing more of a personality to Raven and learning about him. He no longer is our Mysteries boy that shows up and
The second book was even better than the last. To all of you who loved the first book in this series, you should definitely read the second book.
I loved Blythewood and was anxiously awaiting Ravencliffe, hoping for the same kind of magic. This sequel was such a disappointment. Spoilers ahead: The plot slogged on with bizarre events and everything plus the kitchen sink thrown in the mix (weird dancing hypnosis to dupe girls into marrying creepy old guys? What the hell was that!? And along with the Titanic, which by the way is all Ava's fault for sinking -snort-, why not throw a bomb in the mix, and also: RELEASE THE KRAKEN. Just cuz.),
