Lady Midnight (The Dark Artifices #1)

The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in the first novel in Cassandra Clare’s newest series, The Dark Artifices, a sequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. Lady Midnight is a Shadowhunters novel.

It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her parents and avenging her losses.

Together with her parabatai Julian Blackthorn, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica. If only her heart didn’t lead her in treacherous directions…

Making things even more complicated, Julian’s brother Mark—who was captured by the faeries five years ago—has been returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kind—and they need the Shadowhunters’ help to do it. But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn’t recognize his family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it?

Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters abound in this heartrending opening to Cassandra Clare’s Dark Artifices series.

Passenger (Passenger #1) by 

Published January 5th 2016 by Disney-Hyperion

When you jump into Alexandra Bracken's world, violin prodigy Etta time-travels from a concert in New York City to a ship at sea, where she is a prisoner in 1776. She's a legacy from a group of families who can travel through time, and who do so in a power struggle among each other. She soon learns that her mother has hidden a secret object somewhere in the world, and in time, and she must retrieve it. This pits her either against or alongside the captain of the ship, Nicholas, a former slave, who also has this power. The book (clearly!) has adventure and plenty of romance, and luckily for we captivated readers, it's only the first in a new series.

My Review : Passenger, another Time Travel book was beautifully written and I felt like I was in the story with the characters. Bracken has created a beautiful story filled with secrets, romance, and of course, betrayals. As you read, you are able to see Etta grow as a character in the book. I loved Nicholas’ character and how he thought he had it all figured out but then he didn’t when it came to Etta. What I’ve noticed, not just in Passenger, but in so many YA novels recently, is that the stories are becoming more than just about romance and adventure and finding yourself, but also learning something about the rest of the world around you.  If you love books filled with adventure and romance, you will not be disappointed with this one. This was my first story by Bracken and it definitely will not be my last–I can’t wait for future installments in this series!
