The fans were ecstatic today when Cassandra Clare announced , during her live chat with Simon&Schuster, that her phenomenal Mortal Instruments will be a six book series. City of Fallen Angels is coming out 03/05/2011, and the two other titles will be: City of Lost Souls (Spring 2012) and City of Heavenly Fire (Fall 2013). The new books will have Jace, Clary, Simon and most of the same characters known in the series, plus a few other minor ones. We’re eagerly waiting for the official cover of City of Fallen Angels (you see the teaser one in this post). We’ll be posting it as soon as it comes out. |

WHITE CAT (CURSE WORKERS, BOOK 1)
SUMMARY MY REVIEW
I really liked this book. It may have taken me awhile to get through, but I was definitely swept up by this story. It was so creative and fascinating. Holly Black has created a wonderful and fascinating world in this book with all these very cool abilities that the people have. I found this book to be a psychological and creative astounding story. The clever “crook” thought process that was involved in elaborate detail for some of the events and things that occured in this story was absolutely mind blowing. It was quite a thriller. I liked the adventure, and the irony of the book. where, it takes a crook to stop crooks and save the day kinda deal. This was a exceptional and classy story.
Characters: I really liked the main character Cassel, he was a very sincere and caring guy. He was the youngest and he came across as a tad bit of a weakling but his devotion to care and concern for Lila was quite beautiful. Lila was such a great female character, and I love her strength and personality. I really really loved Lila’s and Cassel’s relationship. I’m a gushy romance person, so I totally wanted Holly to develop that but that’s not what the story was about anyways. Holly Black really brought out a very frustrating hatred toward the crooked and evilness of Cassel’s brother’s and Anton, which makes for a amazing author to rise such emotions and reactions that she could in this book.
Writing: This is the first story of Holly Black’s that I’ve had the pleasure of reading, although she’s come highly recommended for a long time now. I can only describe her writing as brilliant in this book, Ms. Black definitely knows how to develop a story and capture the audience. I found it fascinating of her to write in the perspective of a male. The writing style was just right and perfect for this story. She is a highly talented and skilled writing master to have managed to pull off such an ingenious and inventive tale in this book, and I’m totally excited about her Curse Workers book 2, titled Red Glove.
Rating 41/2 Out Of 5 Stars
  Red Glove (Curse Workers Book 2) due out April 5, 2010. (PreOrder)
