Hard Bitten

Quick Plot Run Through.......

Merit has her hands full....humans have been camping outside of Cadogan House but it's no longer paparazzi it's protesters.  Inside Codogan things between Merit an hottie Ethan Sullivan are still complicated. The mayor of Chicago calls Merit and Ethan to a meeting and tells them there are vamp attacks going on. So it's clean it up or Ethan in Shackles.

My Thoughts.......

I was enjoying myself reading this.  Merit is Merit....Ethan is Ethan and they have a kick ass dynamic.  I dig that they are a couple that doesn't fall in love and it's roses from there on out. There is real story here, it has twist and turns you don't figure it out in the beginning and wait for Merit to catch up to you.  That being said I am speechless when it comes to the ending chapters of this book.  Ouch!  Still I categorize it as a must read!

City of Fallen Angels

Quick Plot Run Through.......

The Mortal War is over, and sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is back home, training to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. She has Jace as her boyfriend not as her brother.  Her mother is getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters have called a truce. All should be right in the world.  But, something strange is going down Jace is avoiding her, Shadow Hunters are being murdered, there was a dead baby found that reminded Clary way to much of her dead demonic brother. Clary's best friend, Simon, can't help her this time either. He is feeling guilty juggling two girlfriends, his mother freaked when she found out he was a vampire.  He found himself homeless. Not to mention the Mark of Cain that is attracting all types of Nasty.

Who's killing the Shadow Hunters and what does Clary, Jace and Simon have to do with it?


My Thoughts.....

Let's just start by saying I was a big fan of the Immortal Instruments Series.  When it ended I was sad but content.  Then I hear that there is a forth book coming ahhhh excitement must preorder.  Time passes I open my front door and pick up that smiley face box.  I crack the cover like a kid on Christmas.  I read and read some more but then my thoughts start to wander....never a good thing.  "Now concentrate Adrian"  So read read some more.  Then I realized the problem I'm bored, Jace lost his wit, Clary's just whiny and can we be going through the same story line again? As for Simon well his story was the only thing that kept me reading.  When I closed the back cover I was actually a bit pissed off.  My advice skip this book!  Pretend that there was never a book 4.
