Los Angeles. It’s been
five years since the events of the Mortal Instruments when Nephilim
stood poised on the brink of oblivion and Shadowhunter Emma Carstairs
lost her parents. After the blood and violence she witnessed as a child,
Emma has dedicated her life to to discovering exactly what it was that
killed her parents and getting her revenge.
Raised in the Los Angeles Institute with the Blackthorn family, Emma is paired as a parabatai with her best friend, Julian Blackthorn. A series of murders in the city catch her attention — they seem to have the same characteristics as the deaths of her parents. Could the murderer be the same person? And her attention isn’t the only one caught: someone has been murdering Downworlders as well. The Fair Folk make a deal with the Institute: if the Blackthorns and Emma will investigate the killings, they’ll return Mark Blackthorn to his home. The catch: they have only two weeks to find the killers. Otherwise it’s open war between faeries and Nephilim.
The Shadowhunters of the Institute must race against time to catch the killers, even as they begin to suspect the involvement of those closest to them. At the same time, Emma is falling in love with the one person in the world she’s absolutely forbidden by Shadowhunter Law to love. Set against the glittering backdrop of present-day Los Angeles, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches from the warlock-run nightclubs of the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica.

Hi
everyone!
Today I’m
waiting like crazy for Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare.
Why?
Because this author is the reason why I started reading. I love the TMI series
to pieces and I’m dying to know what happened to my favorite characters in
those five years.
Also, I
love the Shadowhunters world. I think I’ll read everything Cassandra writes
only because her books took a piece of my bookish heart those early days.
What
about you? What are you waiting on?
I want to read this! I want to read this! I want to read this! Okay so I may have jumped up and down in my agreement of this one.
