City Of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments #6)

TITLE: CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE
AUTHOR: CASSANDRA CLARE
RATING: 5 OUT OF 5 STARS


WHAT IS THE BOOK ABOUT?
In this dazzling and long-awaited conclusion to the acclaimed Mortal Instruments series, Clary and her friends fight the greatest evil they have ever faced: Clary's own brother.
Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Bearing the Infernal Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures out of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his Endarkened army swell.
The embattled Shadowhunters withdraw to Idris - but not even the famed demon towers of Alicante can keep Sebastian at bay. And with the Nephilim trapped in Idris, who will guard the world against demons?
When one of the greatest betrayals the Nephilim have ever known is revealed, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec must flee - even if their journey takes them deep into the demon realms, where no Shadowhunter has set foot before, and from which no human being has ever returned...
Love will be sacrificed and lives lost in the terrible battle for the fate of the word in the thrilling final installment of the classic urban fantasy series The Mortal Instruments
MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK:
There could have not been a better ending to the series, it left me wanting more and not wanting the series to end. In this book so many secrets are revealed, friends are lost. this book made me laugh, cry and pissed me off at times, does anyone else think that Cassandra always had it out for Simon? it seems to me that in all six books the poor guy never caught a break. Jace and Clary can finally let loose and love each other without out holding back and i loved it I was waiting for them to just give into there love all the series. One thing that bugged me about the book was Sebastian I wish he would have been able to change and stayed with his family, it seems like when all his evil was taken away he was a good guy, but we cant all get what we want. Overall the book was very very good it met all my expectations. This series was AMAZING so sad to see it end. If you have not picked up this series I recommend you do. You wont regret it.

City of Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments #5)



WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?
In this book Clary is horrified when she finds out that demon Lilith's magic has tied Jace and her brother Sebastian together and now Jace has become a servant of evil. The clave is out to destroy Sebastian but there is no way of hurting Sebastian without hurting Jace. While Alec, Magnus, Simon and Isabelle try to make bargain with the Seelie, Demons and the Iron sisters,  Clary takes it up on herself to find a solution to bring her Jace back and kill her Brother.



MY TOUGHTS ON THE BOOK:
I really enjoyed this book, I loved the way Jace seemed to be so much more comfortable with his and Clary's relationship. I also liked how I learn more about Sebastian, his past and how he feels about his family, at a certain point in the book I really was starting to like Sebastian, yes I know CRAZY! this book is just great I think is the best one in the series. City of Fallen Angels had really put me off from the series because it seemed to just drag on, but as soon is I got into reading City of Lost Souls it sucked me back in I loved it!

City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments #2)

Title: City Of Ashes 
Author: Cassandra Clare
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars


WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?
In the "City of Ashes" the second book in the series "The Mortal Instruments" Clary gets sucked in more into the magic world of demons , shadowhunters, and downworlders, but what Clary wants the most is to live a normal life with now more than just a friend Simon. But how can she really go back to normal after finding out she is a demon fighting shadowhunter, her mom is a magically induced coma, and the only way to help her get better is to go looking for her crazy power hungry father Valentine. To make things worse someone has been killing young downworlders and the second mortal instrument gets stolen. The Inquisitor arrives to investigate all the weird things going on in New York and she sets her eyes right on Jace after all he is Valentines son. 

WHAT DID I THINK ABOUT THE BOOK:
This book was just AMAZING, Cassandra Clare really took you deeper into the new world Clary was introduced to, with more downworlders and more shadowhunters. She also tell us more about the childhood Jace had with Valentine. Its full of action and surprises I didn't expect. If you gave up on this book because of the ending city of bones had, don't believe continuing this series is well worth it the books just keep getting better and better.

City Of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1)


Title: City of Bones
Author: Cassandra Clare
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars



WHAT IS THE BOOK ABOUT?
In the first book on the series The Mortal Instruments "City of Bones" By: Cassandra Clare, a young girl named Clary is out with her friends for her birthday in a very known club in New York, when she finally gets in she notices a group of very good looking teenagers about to kill what she believes to be an ordinary boy. When her friend Simon gets back with the security guard she realized that she is the only one that can see the two boys Jace, Alec and the girl that lured the boy that was murdered in Isabelle. Since that night Clarys ordinary life was changed forever she is introduces to a new world full of magic and mythical creatures that she has been kept from since she was a little girl.


WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE BOOK:
I just finished reading City of Bones  and thought I should talk about it while it was still fresh on my mind. I have mixed feelings about this book I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it either. Lets start with the things I liked first I loved the world that Cassandra created who wouldn’t want to live in a world full of shadowhunters (half angel half human), werewolves, vampires, fairies, warlocks and well a world with magic,  also I loved that you couldn’t go one chapter without getting action it kept you interested and wanting more. what I didn’t like, all the character seemed to have the same personalities they all seemed to be cocky and full of themselves, also I wasn’t very fond of the ending can we just say we should have taken it another direction it kind of pissed me off to be honest. I also felt like Cassandra was trying to explain too many things at the same time, you were just starting to understand one thing when she jumped in explaining something else.  This book is a fun read if you are into dark fantasy, angels, warlocks, werewolves, and crazy love triangles I definitely recommend you to read this book. I’m going to continue with the series  because I'm  very interested where the story is going to go.
