City of Fallen Angels

It's been a while since I posted on here. I still check back once in a while but I've been trying to get my writing career off the ground by perfecting my art. So to any of you who care. Hi!

Anyway.....this is about the latest book I read called City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare.

I think I've mentioned her before and well this is the latest installment that takes place in this epic reality.

The first three books she wrote in this world were called the Mortal Instruments. And well this book has the number four on it but it is actually the first in another trilogy.

Recap-

Clary Fray falls in love with Jace, a Shadowhunter. Finds out she is also a Shadowhunter/ one who is descendant of a man who was given special powers by the Angel Raziel. Tragedy strikes and their love is threatened. Her best friend gets turned to a vampire, the man she's known all her life and loved as a father is found to be a werewolf and her mother has taken her to a warlock to get her Sight taken away every few years all of her life!

The warlock, Magnus Bane is awesome!! He is also gay and falls for Alec who is like a brother to Jace. Who is also found to be gay and in the end....yes they kiss!

Well now that the recap is done.

Let's move on to CoFA

Now as Ms. Clare said there is more Simon in this book. Which is the vampire (Clary's best friend.) Juggling two girl friends we can finally see the geeky clumsy guy from the first three books begin to understand the scope of what his vampire life will be. Of course his life is made more complicated because Clary had put a mark on him in the third book of MI series. The mark of Cain.

When everyone starts to come at him wanting him on their side he has to decide who to trust. Will it be Jordan Kyle, the man who hurt one of people he cares for? Or will it be Camille, a vampire who is more devious than she appears?

Of course if you enjoy a good action story filled with magic and intense love this is an awesome read.

Of course I haven't even mentioned the prequel to this series that she started last year with Clockwork Prince.

Maybe I'll post a review of that one. Remember everyone. Anime is great and so is art! But read a book once in a while because it takes more imagination when you don't have picture. Trust me you won't regret it.

Ms. Clare is a fantastic author who has not disappointed me so far.

Well I was watching Twiglight to prepare my senses for New moon which I had already seen in theatres but of course must buy the DVD. And well I got in the mood to draw. Now this isn't my normal Genre. Sketching life is harder. But I think it came out alright. So here it is. And for all those who do't think this is the right thing for the Readersroom. -_- I don't care. My world...lol...

Clockwork Angel

Cassandra Claire...yes the same author as I've mentioned before that wrote the Mortal Instruments series has a new book coming out in September.

It's called Clockwork Angel. It takes place in the same world as Mortal Instruments but it's more like a prequal. This is the first installment of Infernal Devices. I'm absolutely ecstatic about this. Though I have to admit the thing I'm most excited about is the reappearance of a character that was in the first three books. His name is Magnus Bane, a warlock...who is by the way gay. But he is also funny and dark in places. Beside his sparkly attire and interest in a shadow hunter named Alec Lightwood, he is well awesome! You have to read it.... to enjoy it.

Here is a link to an exerpt from chapter 8.

Just a taste

Here is an exerpt from my up and coming book.....just the first of many..

“I’m not sure what I should be looking for anyway.” Jared said throwing another brochure at her hitting the back of the one she was reading.

She put it down and looked at the one he discarded. They all looked the same to her. The smiling faces and good looking teens all wearing perfect cloths and even one had pictures of the beaches near the college where there were girls in bikinis. “You sure you don’t like the surfing college?” She asked throwing it back at him. He was lying on his bed his head propped up on pillows. He rolled his eyes putting the brochure aside.

“Oh yeah I can just imagine me surfing and getting attacked by a shark. My leg getting bitten off…” He paused then began in a softer tone. “At least my mom might notice me.” He sat up leaning on his knees. “Maybe I should just take a year off like you. It’ll give me time to decide.”

Giving him a skeptical glare she said. “You just want to go with me.”

He shrugged his shoulders. “Is it so wrong to want to go to college with your best friend? Maybe I’d miss you.”
