“Waiting
On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that
spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. Basically books that are not yet out that we
are dying to get our hands on. This
week’s pick is:
Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
Out: 3/8
From Goodreads:
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 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.
Why I’m Waiting:
I
have just adored all things Shadowhunter thus far and getting to meet Emma in
City of Heavenly Fire just made me want to know more about her all the
more. I am so excited to continue in the
world!
I haven't read any other Cassandra Claire book after City of Bones because that book wasn't for me, but I hope you get to read this soon.

Waiting on Wednesdays || GIVEAWAY: Hardcover of Faking Normal by Courtney Stevens
Haha yeah I know some people didn't care for it but I went into the series having several friends who loved it so I was destined to give it a chance and did like the series but I admit to loving The Infernal Devices so much more. I do really enjoy the world overall and I think Magnus is still my favorite character :) and so far he's been in all of them I hope it continues.
