"No one does family sagas like Kristan Higgins. She brings incredible emotion with so much wit and humor that you’re pulled in from the very first lines. I found myself laughing out loud on page one. Always the Last to Know is another winner with characters you know and root for all the way through."

A must read YA series!
A great introduction to a universe you wish was real. The book draws you in from the beginning, making you root for Clary as she discovers she belongs to a regal group of demon hunting warriors called Shadowhunters. I would recommend this book, and series, to anyone.

"“Of shapes transformed to bodies strange” — Ovid’s theme is Shakespeare in a nutshell. As a theater fanatic, I discovered Ovid in my 40s when I wrote my PhD thesis on Renaissance Tragicomedy. For me, the root of drama and language is the invisible made visible in the shape-changing of sex, love, life and death. Not to mention food."
