April 2016 Book of the Month

From the creator of the Mortal Instruments series and Infernal Devices trilogy comes this epic first instalment of the author’s highly anticipated The Dark Artifices series.

Lady Midnight is populated with pretty much every kind of mythological and supernatural being you could wish for (witches, warlocks, werewolves, vampires, faeries to name a few), but none more intriguing than the Nephilim Shadowhunters, part-angel, part-human beings who adorn themselves with protective runes. Emma Carstairs is a Shadowhunter and, as such, she’s bound to her parabatai platonic soul mate Julian for life. Emma is also set on avenging her parents’ death. Then, when bodies bearing the same marks as those on her parents’ are found in her home city of Los Angeles, Emma’s search for their murderer leads her down all kinds of treacherously demonic paths.

Clare has a real talent for creating richly-realised fantasy worlds and plummeting her gutsy, larger-than-life protagonists into seriously high-stakes situations. This is a hugely entertaining and expansive start to her new series, with more glamour that you can shake a stele stick at, and more than enough intrigue to keep forum threads spinning furiously as fans await book two.

Brilliant, exiting, dangerous the adventure in this book is really captivating.

This book is amazing, the whole series is. At first it's hard to get into because I didn't read the earlier books but when you get passed that it is so exiting.
I love the characters Emma and Ty are my favourites. Emma because she is so brave and Ty because he is different.... Read Full Review

In my opinion, it was one of the greatest things I have ever read and would 105% read it again or five times more.

Lady Midnight was a great joy to read and also served as an awesome escape from reality. Every time I opened the pages of the book, I'd get sucked in and minutes would turn into hours until I was completely lost exploring around another world whether that was in the boot of the car with Julian bleeding out and Emma by his side or in the Institute with the whole Blackthorn family. This book is a good way to de-stress and enjoy your evening.... Read Full Review

Lady Midnight is a thrilling and enjoyable book, it is exceptional and lives up to the original Mortal Instruments series. There's everything in this book and I enjoyed it tremendously.

Lady Midnight is a thrilling and enjoyable book, it is exceptional and lives up to the original Mortal Instruments series. I loved the mix of new and old characters. all of them are lovable. There is nothing in this book I don't love. Being set 5 years after the events that took place in "City of Heavenly Fire" it's plot thickens and thickens. There's everything in this book....
