The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in this #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling novel in Cassandra Clare’s newest series, The Dark Artifices, a sequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. Lady Midnight is a Shadowhunters novel.

It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering who killed her parents and avenging her losses. Together with her battle partner Julian Blackthorn, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica. If only her heart didn’t lead her in treacherous directions…

Making things even more complicated, Julian’s brother Mark—who was captured by the faeries five years ago—has been returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kind—and they need the Shadowhunters’ help to do it. But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn’t recognize his family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it?

Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters abound in this heartrending opening to Cassandra Clare’s Dark Artifices series.

I actually have a lot less reviews than I thought I did... I need to write reviews more often I guess.

ECCC Comic-Con Photo Dump

I met WALL-E I’m cooler than you 😎

ECCC was a DREAM you guys! I had the most amazing time nerding out with my bestie, meeting authors I adore (Cassie Clare?! Heather Fawcett?! Demi Winters?! (Also not pictured: Gretchen Schreiber & Elle Tesch because I forgot to get pics lol), and exploring the Empire. Also there was a FANTASY BALL. Amazing.

This post is a little late because I went straight from comic con to finals week (RIP 😭) but I’m basically done (my paper is due tomorrow and I am not even halfway done but it’s fine).

Every year ECCC is better than the last, but I feel like they REALLY stepped up their game this year! I can’t wait to go back next year 🫶🏻

This was also my first year doing cosplay (I went as Vanja from Little Thieves & Emma from The Dark Artifices) and it made the experience so much better—I’m never going back to regular clothes.
