Will stopped glaring at Gabriel, and turned to Tessa. He looked at her and his face softened: the traces of the wild, broken boy he had been vanished, replaced with the expression often worn by the ma...
This time Magnus answered it, his voice booming through the tiny entryway. WHO DARES DISTURB MY REST?Jace looked almost nervous. Jace Wayland. Remember? I'm from the Clave.Oh, yes. Magnus seemed to ha...
The choices we make, make us.
Thank you, Simon said. It’s a joke, Isabelle. He’s the Count. He likes counting. You know. ‘What did the Count eat today, children? One chocolate chip cookie, two chocolate chip cookies, three chocola...
Sometimes, Jem said, our lives can change so fast that the change outpaces our minds and hearts. It's those times, I think, when our lives have altered but we still long for the time before everything...

Magnus, remember what happened the last time you tried to tango. Your shoe flew off and nearly killed someone.It was a metaphor. He's a Shadowhunter, he's a Lightwood, and he's into blonds. He's a dat...
