If You're a Fan of the Original Series You'll Like

A great first book in the sequel series! Lady Midnight does a great job keeping with the lore established in Mortal Instruments and picks up with headstrong Emma Carstairs and her artistic but tough parabatai Julien Blackthorn and his family 5 years after the events of the 6th novel. Unconvinced her parents were murdered by Sebatian in the Dark War, Emma has continued to investigate their deaths the last 5 years landing on a string of fairy murders bearing similarities to their deaths. The Blackthorns are tasked by the Fae to find the murderer in exchange for Julien's brother Mark who was previously kidnapped by them during the events of The Dark War. The cast of characters introduced are unique and interesting and the mystery kept me engaged up until the end. There were also some great cameos from some of the original characters!

Fantastic!

C. Clare seamlessly adds a new set of stories in the world of Shadowhunters and Downworlders, and it's written beautifully. Enjoyable read, and I spend right through it. I'd advise getting the whole trilogy at once, and make sure to read the earlier Shadowhunters series sets before this one. If in doubt, search a reading order for Clare's books.

Missing Dust Jacket

I love the Mortal Instruments series and the prequels and sequels. I’m starting to own my own collection of them and bought Lady Midnight in Hardback only to not have the dust jacket come with. Very sad with having a naked book especially when I bought this under Very Good and there was no warning it would come without the dust cover.

Missing dust jacket

The book was really good but it missed the dust jacket. I am really disappointed about it, they should write about missing items.

Not like new

This book wasn’t like new at all, there were stains and the cover was partially ripped
