City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare Review

City Of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

Series : The Mortal Instruments Series
Pages:462
Publisher: Simon & Shuster
Realse Date: March 25, 2008

Summary :

Sixteen year old Clary continues trying to make sense of the swiftly changing events and relationships in her life as she becomes further involved with the shadowhunters and their pursuit of demons and discovers some terrifying truth about her parents, her brother Jace, and her boyfriend Simon.

Review:

If you thought the first one was action packed wait till you read this one.With this book full of Demons,Warlocks,Faeries, Shadowhunters,Vampires,andwerewolfs you can't go wrong.This is the ultimate
ya series I have come across so far.With such an amazing plot twister that had me on the edge of my seat wanting more.

When I was reading every page had me turning to the
next to find out what the heck was going on wiether it was Family issues, The Clave issues, or just a
regular conversation I knew something was bound to happen as soon as I put the book down or went to the
next page I just couldn't stop reading.

I found myself doing the worst thing a student can do
not paying attention in class because the suspense was killing me.

Than, you had again what I'm going to call " Family Issues" with Jace, Clary and their dad.There was some confusion of feelings after finding out that that's her brother.I don't want to spoil it for other bloggers\ Readers who haven't read so that's the most i'm going to say about that issue\ event in the story. This book had such an amazing thrilling, action packed twisting plot I mean how much better than this can it get.

Well, I sure hope the third book lives up to its expectations of being better and more plot twisting than this one.AGAIN,! if you haven't read this series you totally should. If you like a good paranormal suspense killer action packed Ya Book than read this series!

Review: The City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Title: The City Of Bones
Author: Cassandra Clare
Series: The Mortal Instruments
Pages: 485
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
Date Published : March 27, 2007

Summary:

When 15-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother?And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...

Review:

I am not going to come up with an intro this time I am simply going to dive into this book review! This book was amazing. I know I use the word amazing a lot to describe books, but there was no other word for this book.

This book was action packed and I loved those parts. I found myself sneaking to the next couple of pages just reading dialogues and then stopping myself because I had to read the page in front of me.

Honestly, I’ve heard so much about this book and put of reading it and I have no reason why because this book is currently and will be for a while my favorite book now. There is no words to describe this book it had me glued to my seat. I was amazed to see that it only took me 2 days to read this big 485 page books, but it went by so fast because I was enjoying it so much.

Clary, Oh gosh what can I say about her, but she is someone I can relate to so much because we are somewhat alike. Jace, the hot boy that I fantasize about being with someone like that. The budding relationship between them was too cute and then the shocker at the end. Then, there was Alec , with his sarcasticness was funny at times, but actually rude, but I still liked him.

This book had everything! I mean straight down to the werewolf and vampires. This book to me is the ultimate Ya book you can read. If you haven’t read it you totally should.

If I Stay by Gayle Forman : Review

Title: If I stay
Author: Gayle Forman
Publisher: Speak
Pages: 259
Series: If I stay #1
Published:April 6,2010

Summary:

In the blink of an eye everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall what happened afterwards, watching her own damaged body being taken from the wreck. Little by little she struggles to put together the pieces - to figure out what she has lost, what she has left, and the very difficult choice she must make

Review:
I just finished reading this book a couple of hours ago and I am still trying to contemplate what happened in this book. I am still not sure how I feel about this book.While lots of people said it was very sad , to keep Kleenex by ,I did get teary eyed when it came to the crash, but other than that I just felt a little sad. I felt somewhat disconnected from this book, but my connection with this book was strong when it came to the music. Seeing, I am a big music person; I play a couple of instruments myself and I found it was rather interesting to read about her playing music and to talk about music in general.

Now to the characters, I loved Kim what was not to like about her. Even though she wasn’t there most of the story just in little flashbacks and when she came to the hospital I loved her personality. Kim and Mia were like 2 peas and a pod. Mia was a great main character. I really got her and her family with the music. I loved how she was really talented with an also talented boyfriend who also plays music. It seemed like the perfect match her and Adam. Teddy, what can I say Teddy he was the sweet, but fun and funny at times little brother. I loved him can’t say anything else about him. Adam, like I said perfect match for Mia, he stood by her when she needed him and he wanted what was best for her.

I was very shocked by the ending of her choice after all she talked about in the story it kind of lead in the opposite direction of her choice, but I’m glad she made the decision she did and can’t wait to go to the store and get Where She Went.
