I LOVED this book.

Nicknamed Bluet due to her blue skin, Cussy Mary has been an outcast her whole life. Deep in Kentucky, Blue skinned people are looked down upon as tainted, unholy, second class citizens. Now 19, her coal mining father wants nothing more for her than to settle down with a husband and have a family like a decent woman should but she has found her place - as a Book Woman, riding the trails delivering books to the Hill folk, who can't or won't get an education otherwise. Through the books and magazines she delivers she is making a difference in the lives of her patrons, and they are making a difference in hers, giving her a sense of pride an income, and a community. But not everyone is accepting of her as a Blue, and she is increasingly more threatened by the local Preacher, who is determined to "save" her.

Shadowhunters is a brilliant series that is based off of Cassandra Clare's: Mortal Instruments.

Despite the series deviation from the books around the time of Jonathan Morganstern's introduction, the series manage to maintain a great story.

The biggest disappointment was when they announced the cancellation of the series after the ending of season 3 where Clary was thought to have died. While I am upset that they are only making an extra 2 episodes to finish off the series, I am glad as well, as it should leave it with a more rounded ending.
