City of Glass - Cassandra Clare (The Mortal Instruments #3)

Published Date: March 24, 2009
Genre: Fantasy/Young Adult/Sci-Fi
Synopsis: To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters - never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.

As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City - whatever the cost?

Love is a mortal sin and the secrets of the past prove deadly as Clary and Jace face down Valentine in the third installment of the New York Timesbestselling series The Mortal Instruments.

The only thing racing through my mind is, 'What the hell is Clary doing?!'. She is one of the most stubborn people that I have ever read about. I do like her spunk however. 

The mid-ending was the sweetest thing ever and considering that Simon and Clary are a no-more thing, I do want to cheer on either Maia and Simon or Simon and Isabelle. 

Aline is just... ARGH. You know the feeling... Um... Sebastian is just something. He's definitely a character.

That plot twist at the end however, it had me by the neck.

I finished this book during my trip to go see Mt. Rushmore, which I hiked around so yay me, I am finally getting back into shape and it feels awesome. So when I finished this book, I was just thinking, 'Must review, must review, MUST REVIEW!'

Clare has done it again and it doesn't surprise me that I can finish her books in so little time. I cannot wait until I have City of Fallen Angels into my hands. Anyways... Read this book and I think that you will fall in love with the characters even more. 

Thanks for reading awesome book nerds and I'll blog you later with Vacation (Movie) and Mister Monday - Garth Nix and of course, my attempt at Rebels: City of Indra - Kendall/Kylie Jenner and Maya Sloan.

Mafia Girl - Deborah Blumenthal

Published Date: March 1, 2014
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: What's in a name? Everything if you have my name." At her exclusive Manhattan high school, seventeen-year-old Gia is the most hated/loved girl in school. Why? Her father doesn't have a boss. He is the boss--the capo di tutti cappi, boss of all bosses. Not that Gia cares. But life gets complicated when she meets a cop she calls "Officer Hottie" and feels a suprising chemistry. Then Vogue magazine wants to feature Gia in a fashion spread about real-life bad girls. On top of this, she's running for class president. Can Gia step out from under her dad's shadow and show everyone there's more to her than "Mafia Girl?

So I am reading, well read this book with a friend of mine as we were giggling in the library.

My thoughts are is that although, this book has its funny moments but I don't know if I liked it or disliked it so we will go with indifferent. 
Gia has a funny life. Everyone is either swooning after her or turning their backs of fear.
Michael, Officer Mchottie is a correct term for whom I am picturing. 
Don daughter meets hot cop = Disastrous Love

This book was another version of Mean Girls. Nobody wants to be friends with a girl that can snap her fingers and have her daddy's men come after them within a quick second. Although she acts like she is a tough girl, there is a side to her that is completely innocent.


Funny thing is, when I imagined her, I immediately thought of a girl in tight clothing and oozing sex appeal but when she meets Officer McHottie, her knees buckles and she is wrapped around his fingers. 


I am going to rate this book a solid 3 out of 5. Funny and interesting book to read to get insight into a Don's daughter's life with her family but it is not a book that I would read again.


Read this book and let me know how you feel about it! Soon to come is City of Glass - Cassandra Clare, Vacation (Movie), and Mister Monday - Garth Nix.


Blog you later awesome book nerds!
