Los Angeles. It’s been five years since the events of the Mortal Instruments when Nephilim stood poised on the brink of oblivion and Shadowhunter Emma Carstairs lost her parents. After the blood and violence she witnessed as a child, Emma has dedicated her life to to discovering exactly what it was that killed her parents and getting her revenge.
Raised in the Los Angeles Institute with the Blackthorn family, Emma is paired as a parabatai with her best friend, Julian Blackthorn. A series of murders in the city catch her attention — they seem to have the same characteristics as the deaths of her parents. Could the murderer be the same person? And her attention isn’t the only one caught: someone has been murdering Downworlders as well. The Fair Folk make a deal with the Institute: if the Blackthorns and Emma will investigate the killings, they’ll return Mark Blackthorn to his home. The catch: they have only two weeks to find the killers. Otherwise it’s open war between faeries and Nephilim.
The Shadowhunters of the Institute must race against time to catch the killers, even as they begin to suspect the involvement of those closest to them. At the same time, Emma is falling in love with the one person in the world she’s absolutely forbidden by Shadowhunter Law to love. Set against the glittering backdrop of present-day Los Angeles, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches from the warlock-run nightclubs of the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica.

THE COVER IS SO PRETTY!!!!!!! I'm actually not a fan of Cassie's books, but the cover of Lady Midnight is enough to make me want to pick it up!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is pure gorgeous! I has this mystical element to it, and I can't wait to pick it up!
DeleteI wasn't sure I'm going to read this book, because I really loved TID and had a love-hate relationship with TMI. And I also feel like I've read too much shadowhunter books. But after seeing the cover and the blurb I knew I have to read it! I think it's officially my most anticipated release of 2016!

Agreed! I think I liked TID more than TMI. I was a bit unsure of what the cover would look like since they recently all got new covers, but I'm loving this one!
DeleteSO EXCITED ABOUT THIS OH MY GOSH!!! *-*

IT'S SO PRETTY! You're right, it's been much too long since I've been in the world of Shadowhunters! I can only think of all the things that will happen, especially with that in love with your parabatai part ;)
