Major Bookgasm

Ahh! *Scream*
Picture from
Angelic Nephilim's Tumblr
     So, I was on Tumblr just ten minutes ago when I saw the most beautiful thing ever.  A cover for City of Heavenly Fire. I'm not really sure if this is THE actual cover, but it's still very beautiful and I can't stop looking at it. I actually screamed when I saw it. Guys, I'm so excited for this book. So, out of curiosity I went onto Goodreads to find out when the book would be released. The release date is May 27, 2014...... That's too far away!!!!!  And to think that things couldn't get any worse, I looked up the release dates for the Dark Artifices.....It's in 2015. What am I going to do with my life. My whole book world revolves around Cassandra Clare's world and her writing.

     Here's the Goodreads Description:  
     Los Angeles, 2012. 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 the eradication of demons and being the best, fastest and deadliest Shadowhunter since Jace Lightwood. Raised in the Los Angeles Institute, Emma is paired as a parabatai with her best friend, Julian. As Emma hunts those who caused the death of her parents, the trail they’re following leads back to those they’ve always been taught to trust. At the same time, Emma is falling in love with Julian — her closest friend and, because he is her parabatai, 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.

     Emma???? Emma Freaking Carstairs???? Did I read that right??? Yes, I did. I just about lost it when I read that name. I kind of regret looking this trilogy up because now I've put myself through the extreme torture of waiting for it, but I'm also glad to have looked it up, because now I have something to look forward to because at least Clary isn't a main character. Obviously, she's going to appear in the series, but at least it won't revolve around her and we won't have to hear her annoying voice. But, while I was reading the description, I was thinking, "You know what, sometimes the Shadowhunter's laws suck." And they do. I don't know about you, but it seems to me that their laws are placed just to make some Shadowhunter's miserable on purpose. Am I right or am I right??? Just kidding. My theory is probably wayyyyy off. But that's okay. We all have our own crackpot theories now don't we?
