What a welcome back to The Mortal Instrument Series! I was very excited to be an owner of City of Fallen Angels. These are my thoughts.

  This book began a tab slow for my liking. But, after some brief flashbacks to better connect the book to City of Glass, the storyline soon picked up some speed into the highly anticipated and long awaited fourth book that I have been eagerly awaiting.

Hot and sexy encounters, a sneaky love triangle (my lips are zipped!), and clever twist after another, spins an intriguing book that so many have been waiting for.

  Jace and Clary have an electric relationship. Clary is still the spitfire that make her Clary. I did find myself a tad frustrated with Jace in this book. He was down on himself as always, but his quick witted remarks did not come as quickly as they did in the book before. But on the plus side, he is still the Jace that we all fell in love with, and well, fantasize about from time to time. 

  Simon grew in leaps and bounds as a character. He is still the nerdy, good ole Simon that we want to be our best friends, but his character had so much more dimension when he was given his own voice.

  Isabelle was just to die for. She show a softer, more vulnerable side that is intriguing to see. 

I was also happy to see that Maia gained somewhat of a status among our beloved characters. I love her warm yet bad-ass attitude!

   City of Fallen Angels takes the world of Shadowhunters to an all new territory. A new (somewhat...) villain befalls on our cast in a way that might leave you angry. I know that I was saying "OMG" after the very last line. But, the ending is such a huge cliff hanger that you can not resist the aching need to have the next book in your hand, under your greedy eyes.

   I felt so many emotions throughout this book that I can not even begin to explain! I am Addicted!

I could not put this down!

Friday Five (1)

Friday Five is a weekly event hosted by Eve's Fan Garden, but the original idea came from Cheryl Renee Herbsman's Blog.

This week, EFG posted this topic.....

These days it seems like every book I pick up turns out to be a series or trilogy. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!)

This week, we want to know what are your FIVE favorite book series or trilogies.

First off, I have to say that I am addicted to book series. To me, one of the big differences in a good book and a great book is the personality and depth of a character and how engrossed in the book's feel and depth that I am. A book with a whole world being shown from a direction and then another, through the eyes of character after character, and the tingly feeling you get when the writing about the environment begins to pick up, is everything. 
I love to delve into a world that totally encompasses me and envelopes me inside of the pages.
Anyways, this if a FAV! top Five!

Teaser Tuesday! (1)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read

  My teaser this week comes from City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

"She had never seen him dressed like this before, and it made him look older and a little remote. The wind off the river lifted his fair hair, and she saw the little scar across the side of his throat where Simon had bitten him once, and she remembered that Jace had let himself be bitten, had risked his life, for her."
