The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

Maggie Stiefvater is one of my favorite authors.  She wrote Shiver, Linger and Forever, the werewolf series as well as The Scorpio Races.  This book has A LOT crammed into it:

1. a search for a mystical king

2. unknown father figures

3. ley lines

4. psychics

5. ghosts

6. domestic violence

                                7. families not getting along

                                8. mysterious deaths AND much more!  

I thought this was a "stand alone" book and would have a nice tidy ending like The Scorpio Races, but I was wrong.  This looks like it is going to be a series, so I was disappointed at the ending because I have so many more questions!!  Can't wait to get the next one.
