Title: Clockwork Prince
Series:The Infernal Devices
Author: Cassandra Clare
Goodreads Summary:
In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street—and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa’s powers for his own dark ends.

The special Collector’s First Edition will include a never-before-seen letter from Will to his family!

With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move—and that one of their own has betrayed them.

Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will—the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?

As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.

In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world.

City of Glass Book Thoughts

I have to say I wasn't sure if I would like The Mortal Instruments series or not, but to my surprise, I loved it. I thought I would like it to the point where I could pick up the book here and there when I had a chance. Nope, I wanted to keep reading it.

City of Glass picks up where the last one left off. I do realize I forgot to post about the other two books but life got in the way. I promise to try and be good from now on.

Clary has found a way to save her mother's life. All she has to do is go find a wizard to wake up her mother. That shouldn't be too hard right? Well despite Jace's warning about going to find the wizard and keeping Clary away from the ancient city. She'll find a way there ending with a couple consequences.

After her encounter with Jace when he discovers she came to the city, she'll meet Sebastian who seems like a nice guy but is he really? What's behind the mask of Sebastian?

Finding a cure for her mother isn't the only thing she'll have to deal with. There is also Valentine, who wants to take over the world of the shadowhunters. He might get his way if people listen to him and decide to follow. Clary won't accept that. She wants to help. She wants to stop Valentine. Who cares who he is? Well, she better since, unfortunately Valentine is apart of her rather she likes it or not.

While Clary is dealing with her own problems, everyone has their own to deal with.

Jace has a connection with Clary that is driving him crazy. He also wants to stop Valentine. He'll also discover there is more to himself than he thought. That might make him think he's not that great of a person.

I could go on about all the different characters but if you haven't read the books yet, I'll let you discover the great characters in this series. This is the third book and will wrap up some of the plot. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

If you like Star Wars, you might like this one. There were a couple times, I thought of the movies series.

I think one thing I'm looking forward to is discovering more about Clary and Jace. Not only do they have a connection, each one seems to have a special power. It could be one they can use and one that could be dangerous. I can't wait to find out.

This week's question:
Many of us primarily read one genre of books, with others sprinkled in. If authors stopped writing that genre, what genre would you start reading? Or would you give up reading completely if you couldn't read that genre anymore?

My Answer:
Hmm, that's a hard one. I love my urban fantasy, paranormal romance books. But if I had to choose, I would look at different genres to see where I might fit in best. Maybe the chick lit, I have a secret love for, could be a main genre. I'm always a fan for the classics. Maybe I would give that one a go. Either way, I could never give up reading.

This week's question:
What are you most looking forward to this fall/autumn season - A particular book release? Halloween? The leaves changing color? Cooler Temperatures? A vacation?

My Answer:
Fall is my favorite season out of the four. I don't know why, but it always has been. Maybe it's because we're getting rid of the heat and relaxing before the cold winter hits. And of course, I guess fall is my favorite season because my favorite holiday is put in there. Halloween. I go crazy for Halloween. I love to decorate and dress up. I love going back and reading old favorites. I definitely get in the spirit of the holiday.
Plus it's that time of year when you have bonfire parties and everyone just gathers around under a blanket and hangs out. You get to catch up with your friends.
