Not to fear! The mortal instruments are here!


A lot of people have been a little sad about the fact the Mortal Instruments trilogy has ended. Therefore you won't hear about Alec, Isabella, Simon, Clary or even Jace! (It's okay put the tissue away!). But it seems like Ms.Clare is not done with her writing! In an e-mail she revealed that she might like to do a spin off with her characters.

MD: Hello Ms. Clare!
Of course I read the Mortal Instruments series (I very much enjoyed it) and I am of course saddened to know the series has ended but I would like to know, in your imagination what would happen later on in the lives of Clary and Jace? Or Isbella, Simon and Alec and Magnus?
Thanks!

CC: think, since I have not totally ruled out ever writing about any of these characters again in future, that it's better if my speculations about their possible futures stays private for now. Cassie

Fan girl screams can begin now :D

To Swoon or not to Swoon? That is the question!


I finished Swoon a little while ago I am a bit flustered by the whole book. I thought Nina did a fairly good job on the writing but it seemed a bit lacking. Parts of the book were hard to understand and it was hard to get attached to the characters because the story made most of them seem quite shallow. I also couldn't really get attached to the protagonist Dice. There wasn't much we actually got to find out about her, all I knew was that her cousin is Pen, she likes to sing, she has (possibly) black hair and she moved from New York. Relating to the characters was pretty hard I guess.

Personally it also seemed as if the author, Nina Malkin at times, became lazy with her writing and decided to skip some passages. I definitely thought the book's plot had so much potential to be great but I was left unsatisfied at the end. What did you guys think of the book and its ending? My favorite part in the book was when Sin was with Marsh's father, fighting. And he said something like ''Mofo bit me'' something close to that though. I laughed for a little while during that part :)

But that was pretty much it. I also didn't understand how Pen could also be in love with Sin. If she did, wouldn't she hold a grudge or at least fight for Sin? Not everything added up. I need more explanations! To Swoon or not to Swoon? That is the question, but I'm going to have to say Not to Swoon. The ending just...ended...without anything really big happening. And I also think that there should be an epilogue. And I actually started to hate Sin after I found out he ''Fornicated'' with Pen and then in the scene where Pen's little brothers act like sheriffs and he spanks Dice...
But on the upside, I liked the lyrics to the song :D
Roll the dice (clever)

So my fellow bloggers, the answer to this question which is vital to our life, a necessity that we cannot live without a- okay I'll just say Pass. Not to swoon. The plot was very intriguing but didn't do much for me in the end :I

The blog is taking air!

My blog is taking off, after the summer vacation actually finished I actually started updating and working on the layout. Pretty soon, I hope to have a logo to go with that banner up there *points up*
And now I'm actually feeling pretty confident about that and I really think this going to work. Keep reading the moody teenager :D thanks (that's pretty much everything I wanted to say).

Is this book worth your buck: House of night


Ever since the popular Vampire phase hit teens (some could say Twilight is to blame) vampire novels have been grossing in huge amounts of revenue. But a book that is new to some has been gaining a lot of attention from teens. The House of night.

From the publisher: The House of Night series is set in a world very much like our own, except in 16-year-old Zoey Redbird''s world, vampyres have always existed.In this first book in the series, Zoey enters the House of Night, a school where, after having undergone the Change, she will train to become an adult vampire--that is, if she makes it through the Change.Not all of those who are chosen do.It''s tough to begin a new life, away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling.She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx.But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers.When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school''s most elite club, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny--with a little help from her new vampyre friends.

So there is the summary. There are presently a bunch of little red lines indicating Vampire has been spelled wrong, yet that's the thing that's different from the book. But unfortunately, that's the only unique thing about the book. Of course the cover looks pretty cool, but you don't buy a box of chocolates for the wrapper! The plot is very intriguing and has many new things yet the story seems to go on and on and on without anything happening! But eventually, when something does happen it's way to cliché. While reading this book you could possibly feel as if your watching a brain melting teenager drama (I am a teenager, and I am saying this. There must be a problem). Also, the characters are very one dimensional and not very developed. And it pains me to say...that it seems like the authors were trying to hard to make the ending worth while, making the writing very...poor :( I actually bought the books but as I read the latest one, Hunted. I realized that it's not that great of a book. So I decided to go read some Stephen King :D

So my friends, is this book worth your book. No way Jose! But I do recommend checking it out of your local library. Checking if you like the first couple of books, then maybe thinking about making the purchase.
Thanks for reading the moody teenager blog. And stay tuned for the next Is this book worth your buck post!
