Deidre kept me turning the pages and I got to the point where I could not put the book down because I had to know what happened next. There is adventure, passion and mystery in the book and that is just the type of books I love to read. The best part is that this is the first book in the series A God of Midnight Novel.

City of Ashes (Mortal Instruments)
By Cassandra Clare
Book two ~ The Mortal Instruments
Clary Fray’s life is anything but normal. Now that she is a shadowhunter and her mom is in a coma due to a magical spell that was placed on her, and she can see downworlders such as faeries, and vampires, Clary just wishes that she could go back the her normal life before all this happened. Now that Simon and Clary are become more then just friends she wants the normal life more then ever. But the shadowhunters are not wanting to let her go. Clary has only one hope to save her mother, to hunter down her rogue, insane, evil, shadowhunter father Valentine. And to make things worse someone or something is killing downworlders in New York, and Valetine might be behind it all.
When the Soul-Sword is stolen the Inquisitor is sure that Jace is teaming up with thier father Valentine. And then Clary thinks things could not get worse then the worst of the worst happens to Simon. Can Clary hand off of this and figure out how to get to Valentine if her brother Jace is helping him.
Clary has a wonderful spark about her that just draws you in and helps bring you into her world. She is a character that feels out of place, like many teenagers do. She is someone I remember being when I was a teenager.
I really like this book. It was one of those books that you pick up and have a hard time setting it down. And when you do set it down all ou can think about is getting back to it to see what happens next. There is something new and exciting happening around every corner.

Book Two ~ City of Ashes
Twilight ~ By Stephenie Meyer

When I first thought about reading the Twilight series I was not too sure if I was going to like it. Both my children had read Twilight and could not put it down. Before my kids had read Twilight I had not even heard of the Novel much less had any interest in reading the book. Now I have to admit once I picked up Twilight by Stephenie Meyers I could not put it down. The book keep me interest from the start until the finish and once I was finished Twilight I was ready to pick up the next book in the series. Below you will find a short review of the book and thoughts at the end.
Bella decides it is time to go and live with her Dad for a while in the small town of Fork where the sun never shines and they says always seem gray. After the first day of school Bella has made a new friends, a boy hate her and a boy hot on her heels.
But after a few weeks of school she is sure of two things. One she can not stay away from Edward who is sure positive is a vampire and two she want to find out as much as she can about vampires, Edward and Edwards family. Plus she starts to notice that Edward is always there when she gets herself into trouble.
It all comes down to will Edward be able to get her out of the last mess she has gotten herself into or will he have to leave town to get away from her?
Stephenie Meyer is an amazing author who keeps you on your toes and wondering what is going to happen next and who is hiding around the next corner. She finds a way to make Vampires and love seem normal. Not even halfway into the first chapter of this book I could not put it down. I had to now what kind of trouble Bella was going to get into next and how she was going to get out of it.
New Moon is the next book in the Twilight Series.
