I still and always will remain fiercely loyal to The Mortal Instruments, but gosh darn it, Lady Midnight was amazing. “He knew in the way that she was a part of him, the way her breathing was his breathing, and her dreams were his dreams, and her blood was his blood, and when her heart stopped he knew that his would too, and he would be glad, because he wouldn’t want to live one second in a world that didn’t have her in it.” –Possible Spoilers! Read at your own risk!– Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it? But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn’t recognize his family.

The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kind-and they need the Shadowhunters’ help to do it. 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. If only her heart didn’t lead her in treacherous directions… Together with her parabatai 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. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her parents and avenging her losses. It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Lady Midnight (The Dark Artifices #1) by Cassandra Clare
