Cassandra Clare

If you’re looking for a good book to read, look no further. I can provide you with six books that will blow your mind. “Six?” You may ask, “How is that even possible?” Well, it’s very possible due to an amazing woman by the name of Cassandra Clare. This woman has captured my heart through the two series she authors. The Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices are the books that have so readily changed my mind on certain fiction genres. You may say, “That’s a little extreme, Darci.” No, not really. If you’ve read them, you’ll understand why.

Both book series are woven together to form one big series. Does that make any sense? I honestly have a difficult time describing their relationship myself. Their connection is just so convoluted that explaining them to anyone would be too time consuming to attempt. I guess that means, everyone will just have to read them for themselves, which is what this article is trying to persuade you to do anyway…You feel it, don’t you? You’re feeling a magnetic force pulling you to the library.

I ran into these books last year; I took one look at them and tossed them into my “not in a million years” pile. After a couple of months, I finally took the time to read the synopsis. The books appeared to be about Angels and Demons and pretty much anything in between. Intriguing, but not necessarily the sort of thing I would normally read. Obviously I did. The basic concept, without giving the plots away, is that there are a group of highly trained warriors called Shadowhunters (also referred to as Nephilim). These warriors were created by an angel, and they were meant to rid the world of demons. So, the series revolves around Shadowhunters and their adventures, plus some other awesome stuff that you are just going to have to discover by yourself by READING THEM! NOW!

Anyway, I’m sure you’ve realized just how much I love these books. I sincerely hope my excitement has piqued your interest enough to pick them up!
