Target edition: Books bought at Target additionally include a map of Shadowhunter Los Angeles by Drew Willis. In other news, I cried twice during this book, and both times it was about - you guessed it - Mark and Kieran’s backstory! Once I got a taste of a world full of Nephilim, runes, parabatai, and seraph blades, I quickly (and proudly) ate those words up without hesitation. Soooooo, Ty and Kit had two separate meet cutes in this and both of them were the best thing I’ve ever read. i have a tumblr post to share about this involving the phrase “token straight family member” but unfortunately, spoilers.

It's one thing to hate AFTER the release and after you've given it a try, and it's another to hate it before =_= And SO FRIGGIN' WHAT?who told cassie it was fine to a) make her chapters ten hours long and b) add the most unnecessary details? I actually loved his entire reintegration arc so so so much and I adore that he’s trapped between two worlds but still doing his best to get back within his home.

I loved the friendship between Emma and Julian ever since they were introduced in City of Heavenly Fire. Her books have more than 36 million copies in print worldwide and have been translated into more than thirty-five languages. Also, full disclosure, I’ve had a thing for the “dark haired, broody, tortured artist” type since high school and Adrian from Vampire Academy and Julian really is the epitome of that, too.
