Some Families: Herondale, Carstairs, Lightwood, Fairchild, Blackthorn
There is so much to say, and I better give it to you straight and without delay, this is mostly my thoughts while reading, immediately after, or right in the middle of things, so pardon my scattered ramblings, but it had to be like this.

Authors: Cassie Clare
Genre: Pain, YA, more sorrow
Some of these reviews are way quicker than others, not only because they are short stories but also because I was not entirely stopping on all of them to jot down my thoughts, so things slip a bit out of my grasp when I actually write the review but be advised there might be some spoilers here, for those who don’t know much about the Shadow World. There are way too many books on it (which is great), and I’m grateful that I have read most of them. The Eldest Curses is the only big one that I’m missing right now.

When Alec arrives, he is not welcomed by the Shadowhunters there. He believes it is because of his companion Lily, the head of the New York vampire clan, until a Shadowhunter orphan confides a dark secret to him under cover of the Shadow Market.
Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market
Series: Shadowhunters. Shadow World
Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan
Is going to be short, but I wanted to relay just how amazingly good it was, that even after reading all the Shadow World books there is still room for the little stories, and we will still love them all as if they were part of a series.
Continue reading “Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Land I Lost”Well, I never thought I would do one about Simon, that’s for sure.
World: Shadowhunters
Solo books: Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy
Sorry about this but there will be Spoilers about Simon’s life if you only know his story from The Mortal Instruments.

Since we are all at home or at least should be, and probably the boredom will soon turn into a need to buy compulsively (it has happened in the past), I thought you might want to check some of the Smashwords books that are less than a Dollar or completely Free, I hope you don’t know some of these and if you do then apologies for any repeating titles.
Author: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson
From: Ghosts of the Shadow Market
Type: Short Story
Genre: Fantasy, Supernatural, Drama
I’ll be quick with this one, though I have a few pointed comments. Spoilers might be included if you have not read any of the Shadowhunter books or the TID trilogy.

“Human beings can’t see anything without wanting to destroy it. That’s original sin. And I’m going to destroy it. Death is going to die.”
Books: Northern Lights. The Subtle Knife. The Amber Spyglass
Author: Philip Pullman
Genre: Fantasy, High Fantasy, Science Fantasy
So Fantasy, yes.
I read these books a long time ago so bear with me.
The main thing I always remember about His Dark Materials books is that I found them utterly fascinating and I could not stop reading after finishing the first one, the second and third had to be read and they were far more exciting than the Northern Lights. I’m not going to go into it book by book but probably jump around between the three, I hope you are ready.

Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Genre: Holy Alien Babies. Fiction. Drama. Supernatural.
Alright so, I tried to stop and give you a briefing as I was reading this one like I did with The Darkest Star, but I started in Ch 19. You’ll just have to believe that before that moment, everything was good and I couldn’t stop reading; afterward, I forced myself to stop and put down the book (The Burning Shadow obviously) to write random (not so random) notes.

Well this was a good and bad idea for me. Not the contents of the book, that I loved, but actually starting to read it and finishing it. Let me explain better while telling you what I thought.

Genre: YA, Comedy
This one was a gift, it came in one of those wonderful boxes that bring bookish goodies, sorry I cannot remember which box but when it first arrived, I said: who’s this chick? What is this book? And decided to leave it for later.
I think it has been a year since that or nearly, and finally I picked up Emma and begun to read. She’s a bit nutty I will admit. Now, read this whole post with a British accent and you are good to go with the book. This is what happened.
Caution, some things might be considered spoiler, you have been warned.
