"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers."

City of Glass by: Cassandra Clare

Not living up to my high standards of the first two, the third Mortal Instruments begins at the beginning of a war. The plot is slower, but the twists are still there. Although it is a slow read, it deserves a 4 out of 5 stars.

Misery by: Stephen King

Very creepy, yet very good! From the very beginning, when author Paul Sheldon is injured in a car wreck and finds out he is being help captive by the insane, scary Annie Wilkes, to the end where it ends with a theme from the beginning.
A great read that deserves a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

City of Ashes by: Cassandra Clare

In this amazing second book in the Mortal Instruments series, this book is, if not equal to, better than the first book. Once again, this is one of my favorite books of all time. It has a great thrill-ride of plot, and is very captivating. It deserves a 5 out of 5 stars.

City of Bones by: Cassandra Clare

This is book 1 in the Mortal Instruments series, and I absolutely loved this book! A great plot with twists and turns, that follow an extraordinary journey through a hidden world of angels and demons. With very real characters, like the warlock Magnus Bane, I fell in love with this book. I suggest that anybody (no matter what their preferable genre) reads this book.

Definitely 5 out of 5!

Demonata 3: Slawter by: Darren Shan

These tales of demons are amazing! Once again, I blurred through this novel, returning the character of Grubbs from Lord Loss. I couldn't wait to find out what the truth behind the set was.... to understand, you'll just have to read it!

I give this book, once again, a 4.5 out of 5 stars!!!
