Summary from Goodreads:
Los Angeles. It’s been five years since the events of the Mortal Instruments when Nephilim stood poised on the brink of oblivion and Shadowhunter Emma Carstairs lost her parents. After the blood and violence she witnessed as a child, Emma has dedicated her life to to discovering exactly what it was that killed her parents and getting her revenge.
Raised in the Los Angeles Institute with the Blackthorn family, Emma is paired as a parabatai with her best friend, Julian Blackthorn. A series of murders in the city catch her attention — they seem to have the same characteristics as the deaths of her parents. Could the murderer be the same person? And her attention isn’t the only one caught: someone has been murdering Downworlders as well. The Fair Folk make a deal with the Institute: if the Blackthorns and Emma will investigate the killings, they’ll return Mark Blackthorn to his home. The catch: they have only two weeks to find the killers. Otherwise it’s open war between faeries and Nephilim.
The Shadowhunters of the Institute must race against time to catch the killers, even as they begin to suspect the involvement of those closest to them. At the same time, Emma is falling in love with the one person in the world she’s absolutely forbidden by Shadowhunter Law to love. Set against the glittering backdrop of present-day Los Angeles, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches from the warlock-run nightclubs of the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica.
OH MY GOODNESS! Okay, I know this book isn’t coming out for a looonng time, but I chose this one for two reasons. One, they just revealed the cover this past weekend at NY Comic Con ( Isn’t it pretty?). Two, I love Cassandra Clare. I love, love, love, love, love her. Get it yet? I cannot wait for this book to come out!! Not only is it the next part of the Shadowhunters universe, but it takes place in my home state/city! Well, I’m from Orange County which is smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles and San Diego, but I know where everything is and I have been to most of them. So.. I’m excited. Actually, I think excited might be a little bit of an understatement.
*Creepy Gollum voice* My precious…….
Reed's Reads & Reviews 
I have’t finished all The Mortal Instruments books yet. I feel like Jace turned evil for at least the second time and I sort of lost interest. I have been meaning to carry on reading them forever though. I haven’t even started to spin offs yet! Maybe by the time this one comes out I’ll be almost up to date. I do really like the sound of the plot.

It’s worth it to finish them ❤ trust me. Jace isn't exactly evil and the whole situation gets really interesting. Have you read the Infernal Devices yet? They're amazing and the perfect way to get back into them ❤

IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL I AM GOING TO CRY. And then flail. XD Because I’m so excited!! I finished the last Infernal Devices books a few months ago and now I’m in like a Cassandra Clare DROUGHT. I NEED MORE. I can’t wait for this! *dances wildly* (I also really like the colours in the cover!)
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!

I loved the Infernal Devices so much!! I also really liked how in the last TMI book Cassie introduces the characters of this one : ) only now this book takes place ten or so years later. Cassandra is queen in my opinion, she has this power to make me want absolutely everything that comes from her hands, lol.
I really like the cover, too! I think the blue is so beautiful : ) I also like how this cover is a mixture between the old and the new ones.
