One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees to Los Angeles, seeking to discover the source of the blight that is destroying the race of warlocks.

Meanwhile, Julian and Emma take desperate measures to put their forbidden love aside and undertake a perilous mission to Faerie to retrieve the Black Volume of the Dead. What they find in the Courts is a secret that may tear the Shadow World asunder and open a dark path into a future they could never have imagined. Caught in a race against time, Emma and Julian must save the world of Shadowhunters before the deadly power of the parabatai curse destroys them and everyone they love.

Torn between her desire for her parabatai Julian and her desire to protect him from the brutal consequences of parabatai relationships, she has begun dating his brother, Mark. But Mark has spent the past five years trapped in Faerie; can he ever truly be a Shadowhunter again?

And the faerie courts are not silent. The Unseelie King is tired of the Cold Peace, and will no longer concede to the Shadowhunters’ demands. Caught between the demands of faerie and the laws of the Clave, Emma, Julian, and Mark must find a way to come together to defend everything they hold dear—before it’s too late.

November Wrap-up and December TBR

Hey guys!! How has your month been?

This month was awesome! I read so many amazing books! I’ve read 12 books again and found some favorites among them. This was overall a pretty good month for me in terms of reading and school, and now I’m only excited for Christmas to come! ^^

Check out what I’ve read this month:

In a kingdom by the sea…

In a secret world where half-angel warriors are sworn to fight demons, parabatai is a sacred word.

A parabatai is your partner in battle. A parabatai is your best friend. Parabatai can be everything to each other—but they can never fall in love.

Emma Carstairs is a warrior, a Shadowhunter, and the best in her generation. She lives for battle. Shoulder to shoulder with her parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, she patrols the streets of Los Angeles, where vampires party on the Sunset Strip, and faeries—the most powerful of supernatural creatures—teeter on the edge of open war with Shadowhunters. When the bodies of humans and faeries turn up murdered in the same way Emma’s parents were when she was a child, an uneasy alliance is formed. This is Emma’s chance for revenge—and Julian’s chance to get back his brother Mark, who is being held prisoner by the faerie Courts. All Emma, Mark, and Julian have to do is solve the murders within two weeks…and before the murderer targets them.

Their search takes Emma from sea caves full of sorcery to a dark lottery where death is dispensed. And each clue she unravels uncovers more secrets. What has Julian been hiding from her all these years? Why does Shadowhunter Law forbid parabatai to fall in love? Who really killed her parents—and can she bear to know the truth?

The darkly magical world of Shadowhunters has captured the imaginations of millions of readers across the globe. Join the adventure in Lady Midnight, the long-awaited first volume of a new trilogy from Cassandra Clare.

If you wanna check out what this box included, just keep reading! I will show photos of the items, information on them and some of my thoughts!

September Wrap-up and October TBR

Hey guys!! How has your month been?

This month was pretty good for me! I managed to read pretty much all I wanted and a lot more than last month. Also, I’m almost ending the Harry Potter series for the first time, which makes me excited although slightly sad. I believe I will for sure re-read it many times!

I’ve read 12 books and started one more that I intend to end next month!

Check out what I’ve read this month:

August Wrap-up and September TBR

Hey guys!!

How has your month been?

I’ve read only 5 books this month, although I must say… I did find some amazing ones!!

Check out what I’ve read this month:

City of Fallen Angels/Lost Souls/Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

Hi guys! So, as you probably know already, I’m not a big fan of TMI, but I wanted to read them anyway since I already owned them… So I ended up participating in a read-along done by Emmabooks for them to make it happen.

I read:

• City of Fallen Angels: Apr 15 – May 5
• City of Lost Souls: Jun 3 – Jun 30
• City of Heavenly Fire: July 29 – Aug 25

Since I started by not enjoying this books that much, I decided to do mini-reviews for each, kinda like a likes/dislikes type of thing for each. But that kinda changed in the last two books because I really liked them… So yeah, it’s just a collective review of the end of the series…

I’m incredibly happy I finally read this series because the last two books were awesome! they really surprised me and actually made me incredibly interested in everything that was happening! I can’t say it’s my favorite series but it is worth the read.

*Hope you enjoy my reviews!*

July Wrap-up and August TBR

Hey guys!!

How has your month been? July was pretty much my holiday month so I managed to read books I’ve been meaning to read for quite a while!

I’ve read 11 books, some that I’ve been meaning for ages like Speak and others that I ended up reading sooner than I thought I would, like ending TMI and TID! Overall I really enjoyed the books I read and I’m excited to continue some of the series I’ve been reading, especially HP!!

Check out what I’ve read this month:

May Wrap-up and June TBR

Hey guys!!

How has your month been? May, for me, was actually pretty good!

First of all, because we finally have sun and warmth! I missed this weather! It always makes me so much happier! Anyone else?

But I also had my last exams at the beginning of the month, so after that, I dedicated myself a bit more to reading, which I couldn’t be happier about! Plus I also kind of bought quite many books this month, so we have a haul coming up next month (I will join it with my birthday haul)!

I’ve read 12 books, 2 of them being manga and 1 graphic novel. I also started 3 other books, which I was aiming to have finished but oh well! I just hope next month is as good for me, as this one was.
