About this listen

The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in the first novel in Cassandra Clare's newest series, The Dark Artifices, a sequel to the internationally best-selling 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.

Riveting

While I have watched the Mortal Instruments movie I did not know much about the books and the Shadowhunter story. This series did not require you to have read the first series as it provided all the detail and back story needed to understand the Shadowhunter world. The characters and places were brought to life and I found myself thoroughly immersed in this world on a daily basis.

Glad I listened.

I love the Shadowhunter world Cassandra Clare has created and I have read all the previous books. I had begun reading this one and found it difficult. But the audiobook is means I got to the action much faster. Once you get into it this is a good book. I really do feel for Jules and Emma now. I really want to know what their next adventure holds now.

I thought I had finished the Shadow Hunters imagine my delight when I found this series. My thirst for all things Cassandra Clare was saited for just a little while.

Another great Shadowhunter story

I hadn’t read one for a while and had forgotten a lot of the Jace and clary story so It was great to have the stories kind of intertwine.

The story draws you in

Thought it was YA but the story was intriguing and made you want to listen on and it was hard to break from it. The narrator was good but did not attempt to put on different voices for different characters so a bit hard to follow at times.
I recommend this book if you like mystery mixed with some magic.
