Mortal Instruments TV Show?!




In-case you weren't aware there has been plenty of buzz lately regarding the idea of transforming Cassandra Clare's successful book series The Mortal Instruments into a television series. Now I know what everyone is thinking.. What about the movies?! However, as we all know due to poor script writing that totally didn't represent the book at all and the movie crashing at the box office, the potential of a squeal is highly unlikely.

Sources have confirmed that the series has the green light to start production and is expected to commence in 2015. Episodes will run for an hour, starting with the very first book City of Bones.

Also don't expect to see any of the past cast members either, a whole new cast is basically guaranteed to be seen in this TV series. This is done for many reasons but mainly for to give the TV series a fresh look compared to the movie and reinforce that the two are completely separate from each other.  

Who's your dream cast? My ideal actor for Jace is Austin Butler, seriously just look at him doesn't he scream Jace Wayland to you?


For more updates about the series check out TMI Source their great about delivering fans with up to date information.

Review: Endlessly

Title: Endlessly
Author: Kiersten White
Series: Paranormalcy #3
Published: July 24th 2012
Rating: 4

Evie's paranormal past keeps coming back to haunt her. A new director at the International Paranormal Containment Agency wants to drag her back to headquarters. The Dark Faerie Queen is torturing humans in her poisonous realm. And supernatural creatures keep insisting that Evie is the only one who can save them from a mysterious, perilous fate.

The clock is ticking on the entire paranormal world. And its fate rests solely in Evie's hands.
So much for normal.


I'm sadden to say that Endlessly is the last novel in the Paranormalcy trilogy. It was one bleeping crazy humorous ride! I'm really going to miss Evie and her fun loving friends and all their antics that come along with.

Evie is no longer the same girl we saw first in Paranormalcy, she's grown and matured into a wonderful selfless person, making huge sacrifices for the ones she loves in order to protect them. Evie hates the idea that she is just some pawn in the faeries games, that she has no choice in the matter, but sooner or later Evie has to make a choice as those she cares about are put in danger and the lives of the paranormal community lies in the decision Evie has to make. As Evie is the only one who can help them. 

The mischievous Jack returns in Endlessly, and after his departure in Supernaturally Evie is not so forgiving. Jack has to prove himself trustworthy and that his intentions this time around are genuine. I was so happy to see Jack again, yes, his made his mistakes but he really proved himself a team player while being the charming guy he is along the way. Lend is the ever Mr Supportive Boyfriend, always letting Evie making her own choices and showing her love and confidence whenever Evie is in need. Oh, lets not forget the dashing Reth! I'll admit that I do hold a small crush on the manipulative faerie! Reth isn't the exact bad guy everyone paints him out to be, we learn some shocking information about the personal sacrifices his made that makes us realizes that Reth isn't that bad after all.

Crazy situations such as Evie being captured by the IPCA, Raquel on trial for treason and the faeries going to extreme lengths to get their empty one, their was never a dull moment in this page turner. Oh and not to mention a jaw dropping revelation about two characters past realationship that should of been really obvious to me but wasn't will certainly leave you questioning why you didn't see it coming. 

Flirty. Crazy. Adventures. Endlessly was a magical delight to read and a very satisfying conclusion. If you haven't picked up this trilogy yet I highly recommend that you do.

Waiting On Wednesday #3

Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.  This week's pre-publication, "can't wait to read" is.....

Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a vow. She’d been naive about a lot of things. 

Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.

When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

Words cannot describe how much I want this! So what's your to die for read? Let me know!

Review: Supernaturally

Title: Supernaturally
Author: Kiersten White
Series: Paranoramlcy #2
Published: July 26th 2011
Rating: 4

Evie finally has the normal life she’s always longed for. But she’s shocked to discover that being ordinary can be...kind of boring. Just when Evie starts to long for her days at the International Paranormal Containment Agency, she’s given a chance to work for them again. Desperate for a break from all the normalcy, she agrees.

But as one disastrous mission leads to another, Evie starts to wonder if she made the right choice. And when Evie’s faerie ex-boyfriend Reth appears with devastating revelations about her past, she discovers that there’s a battle brewing between the faerie courts that could throw the whole supernatural world into chaos. The prize in question? Evie herself.

So much for normal.


When Evie realizes that high school is nothing like her drama filled favorite television show Easton Heights with cat fights everyday, secret relationships and gossip to die for, Evie regretfully finds her new life boring. She misses the excitement the IPCA gave her, and above all the sense of importance that she was contributing something good into the world. Evie finds herself torn and starts going on missions again with the IPCA behind the backs of the ones she cares about. Relationships are put to the test in this suspenseful yet wisecracking sequel, a combination that only Kiersten White could pull off.

In Supernaturally were introduced to a new character named Jack, a very peculiar boy with a very strange ability that lets him pop in at the most uncanny moments. Jack grew up with faeries and shares Evie's dislike for them. Jack was a huge comedic relief and I was happy that he appeared in many chapters, his  charismatic and dare-devil attitude made many moments more lighthearted something that I was thankful for.  The romance between Evie and Lend is not a highlight in this book as Lend if off at college leaving Evie still hanging in high school. Reth our favorite charming faerie also makes a startling reappearance in Evie life, bringing along with him jaw dropping revelations that changes Evie's life forever. 

It was fascinating to see the plot unravel and just when you think you know something everything is changed, with new information coming to light conclusions are drawn and new questions are raised.  With countless misunderstandings you'll be edge of your seat clawing through the pages to find out if Evie's and Lend's relationship will last. Especially if Lends supposedly meant to be immortal just like his mother. Add to the fact that unusual paranormals are popping up everywhere causing all kinds of trouble it only adds to the list of things Evie has to worry about. 

Another sassy and humorous read from Kiersten White! I recommend this series to anyone who's looking for a fun lighthearted book because Evie and her friends have got that down-packed.
