    Chain of Gold

    Author: Cassandra Clare

    Series: The Last Hours

    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.

  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Lost World

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Lost World

    Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    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.

  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Land I Lost

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Land I Lost

    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.

    Simon Lewis

    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.

    7 EBooks for Under a Dollar or Free

    Hello, everyone!

    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.

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: Every Exquisite Thing

    Author: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson

    From: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

  • His Dark Materials Trilogy

    His Dark Materials Trilogy

    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.

  • The Burning Shadow

    The Burning Shadow

    Series: Origin

    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.

  • Shadows

    Shadows

    Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout

    Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Science-Fiction

    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.

  • Dating Disasters of Emma Nash

    Dating Disasters of Emma Nash

    Author: Chloe Seager

    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.
