    Shadowhunter Chronicles News: Late to the party?

    I’m totally fangirling right now, and I don’t care if I’m late to the party, or don’t know when this was first announced, it is still not out, and I have a lot of reading to re-do and to catch-on.

    I saw a new novel in the Shadowhunter world is coming in 2026, and is the one that I was hoping for… 🎊 even if it is the last trilogy of the Shadowhunter books, and I’m sad about that, I still cannot wait!

    Update 2026 is at the end.

    Friday Flashback: Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices)

    Wow, that took me back, just thinking about it for a second.

    Hello, dearies! 🩷

    Did you know I am Shadowhunter fan? No? Really? You must know, surely.

    Anywho… Clockwork Angel, another one from the Shadow World that I started reading, put down, picked it up again, thought about about what it was about, tried hard to get into what was happening in those first pages, and then when I got it a bit, I started reading full-steam ahead. It was like the world opened up and dropped me in London.

    Too much?

    Marked by an Assassin [Eternal Mates #8] Book Review

    Well, that was anticlimactic.

    Welcome, dearies! πŸ“–

    I have finished reading another Eternal Mates book, number 8 this time. Marked by an Assassin. At first I was not going to read this one, but I wanted to know something so I went back to it, I should, maybe, perhaps, followed my first instinct.

    Too many emotions.

    Hello, dearies! Welcome to this full review of Namaikizakari.

    It was the best ending for this romance/sports manga. Yuki and Shō are really my favourite.

    I can’t remember when I first started reading it but I do remember that after that first chapter I had to continue.

  • Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

    Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

    Series: Eternal Mates

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Genres: Dragons, Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Urban

    That title sounds a bit stronger than the book actually is…

    It took me a while to finish to be honest.

    But the last 10% it came rolling back to life.

    Also, one chapter was dedicated entirely to introducing a new character and get your attention to another book. It was too obvious but it did the job because I added that book to my TBR πŸ˜…πŸ˜†. I’m a sucker for fantasy, angels, and romances. As I have previously stated on these reviews about the Eternal Mates Series.

    Hello, dearies! I might end up reading all 19 books one day. For now, I’m mixing and jumping among them, even when I usually like to read books in order, this particular series can be read like this almost without problem.

    Well, it hadn’t been such a problem so far until this one where there were some characters that I knew who they were but didn’t know they ended up together, so spoilers for me. πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯² But it’s alright, I brought that on myself for skipping books.

    TBT: Kissed by a Dark Prince

    Hello, dearies! πŸ’œ

    This one acts as a TBT because I had read this one before, but I re-read it again recently and it almost felt like the first time πŸ˜„.

    I could barely remember what happened on this one, but one thing was clear, I didn’t misremember the fact that I freaking loved this book. I knew there was a reason for me to like Tempted by a Rogue Prince so much (book #3 in this series). It’s all because of the incredibly honest princes here. Wow.

    Spoiler Time Sunday: Outrageous questions about City of Bones

    Hello, dearies! ➰

    It’s me Sela, I don’t normally introduce myself like that. 😳But sometimes, there’s someone new on the blog, so hello! πŸ‘‹

    Today’s special spoiler time Sunday, will be for City of Bones, which is book #1 in The Mortal Instruments series, I basically answered one of the outrageous questions I saw online. Is there a number 2 of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones? Yes, duh. It’s called City of Ashes. Would Cassie Clare had gone out of her way to write such great characters just to leave it at one book?

    Hello, dearies! πŸͺ„

    We have arrived at this one at last, it was a long road while I talked about each book. All reviews here.

    Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, I remember being so excited because the final book would come soon, and I had re-read The Half-Blood Prince a couple of times already because it was so good, not the end but that just made you want to read the next book more.
