  • City of Lost Souls (published on May 8, 2012)

Synopsis:

City of Bones
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder — much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Clary knows she should call the police, but it's hard to explain a murder when the body disappears into thin air and the murderers are invisible to everyone but Clary.
Equally startled by her ability to see them, the murderers explain themselves as Shadowhunters: a secret tribe of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty-four hours, Clary's mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a grotesque demon.
But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....

City of Ashes
Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil — and also her father.
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?


City of Glass
To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters — never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and her best friend, Simon, has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.

As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City — whatever the cost?


City of Fallen Angels

Who will fall in love, and who will find their relationship torn apart?
Who will betray everything they ever believed in?
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge.
In the heart-pounding fourth installment of the Mortal Instruments series, the stakes are higher than ever.

City of Lost Souls
Can the lost be reclaimed? What price is too high to pay for love? Who can be trusted when sin and salvation collide? Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series. 

City of Heavenly Fire

Vampire Academy - Coming on Cinema

Vampire Academy (the novels)
The New York Times Bestselling Series by Richell Mead || Vampire Academy Series

Richelle Mead's six-book series of New York Times bestsellers, about girls training to hunt the undead, is something of a mix between "Harry Potter" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," with a little "Twlight"-style romance thrown in. So it's got all of its bases covered, at least. Preger Entertainment is reportedly working to bring a movie version to the big screen. <see more>

first book
Vampire Academy
St. Vladimir's Academy isn't just any boarding school - it's a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to St. Bladimir's - the very place where the're most in danger. Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy's ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals.

Books - Novels by Alexandra Adornetto

Halo Trilogy
Alexandra Adornetto is the real name of Alexandra Grace (born 18 April 1992), an Australian author who writes for children and young adults. Her works include The Strangest Adventures series and the Halo trilogy.

Halo 
Halo takes place in Venus Cove, a fictional town later revealed to be located on the Georgia coastline. The quiet, picturesque town is ultimately revolutionized when three biblical angels—Gabriel, Ivy, and Bethany—arrive on a mission to guard its residents against the dark work of Lucifer's demons. The angels take up residence in a beach-side cottage named Byron (presumably named after Adornetto's childhood home), and Bethany begin attending Bryce Hamilton, the local high school. Here, Beth meets a human boy named Xavier with a troubled past and soon falls in love with him, defying the laws of Heaven and threatening the angels' mission. The story revolves almost exclusively around Bethany and Xavier's forbidden relationship until the arrival of a transfer student, Jake Thorn, who takes a sinister liking to Bethany. Jake is not who he claims to be, and the plot culminates in a confrontation between the angels and the forces of evil. 

Hades
It follows Xavier and Beth, whose relationship has finally been accepted by Beth's siblings, to a Hallowe'en party in an old, abandoned house, where Beth reluctantly takes part in a séance with her friends. The séance ultimately awakens the demon, Jake Thorn, who tricks Bethany into a motorcycle ride on the pretense that Xavier is seriously hurt. The motorcycle takes Beth and Jake through a portal and into Hell. Bethany is kept as a prisoner in Hotel Ambrosia, where she befriends two fellow captives, Hannah and Tuck. It is revealed that Jake is a Prince of the Underworld and intends to lure Beth into marriage, but Bethany refuses to have anything to do with him. And how about the engagement? Get the book and read it.


 Heaven
Bethany, an angel sent to Earth, and her mortal boyfriend, Xavier, have been to Hell and back. But now their love will be put to its highest test yet, as they defy Heavenly law and marry. They don’t tell Beth’s archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, but the angels know soon enough, and punishment comes in a terrifying form: the Sevens, who are rogue angels bent on keeping Beth and Xavier apart, destroying Gabriel and Ivy, and darkening angelic power in the heavens.
The only way Bethany and Xavier can elude the Sevens is to hide in the open, and blend in with other mortals their own age. Gabriel and Ivy set them up at college, where they can’t reveal their relationship, and where there is still danger around each corner. Will Bethany be called back to Heaven – forever – and face leaving the love of her life?

A 2012 Movie You Should Watch

The Hunger Games
http://www.thehungergames.co.uk/

From the novel of Suzanne Collins, "The Hunger Games". Originally published on September 14, 2008, by Scholastic.

"It not only lived up to my high expectations, it surpassed them" - Stephenie Meyer on Catching Fire
"I couldn't stop reading..." - Stephen King




 Sinopsis Buku:
Amerika Utara musnah sudah. Kini di bekasnya berdiri negara Panem, dengan Capitol sebagai pusat kota yang dikeliling dua belas distrik. Katniss gadis 16 tahun tinggal bersama adik perempuan dan ibunya di distrik termiskin di Distrik12.
Karena pemberontakan di masa lalu terhadap Capitol, setiap tahun masing-masing Distrik harus mengirim seorang anak perempuan dan anak lelaki untuk bertarung sampai mati dan ditayangkan secara langsung di acara televisi "The Hunger Games". Hanya ada satu pemenang setiap tahun. Tujuannya adalah: membunuh atau dibunuh.
Ketika adik perempuannya terpilih mengikuti Hunger Games, Katniss mengajukan diri untuk menggantikannya. Dan dimulailah pertarungan yang takkan pernah dilupakan Capitol.

Overview





Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival.
