The Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in the first novel in Cassandra Clare’s newest series, The Dark Artifices, a sequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. Lady Midnight is a Shadowhunters novel.
It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her parents and avenging her losses.
Together with her parabatai Julian Blackthorn, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica. If only her heart didn’t lead her in treacherous directions…
Making things even more complicated, Julian’s brother Mark—who was captured by the faeries five years ago—has been returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kind—and they need the Shadowhunters’ help to do it. But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn’t recognize his family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it?
Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters abound in this heartrending opening to Cassandra Clare’s Dark Artifices series.

Gr 9 Up—Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn have grown up together, struggling with the deaths of their respective parents and the responsibilities of caring for Julian's younger siblings after the Dark War. Five years after they convince the Clave to allow Emma to stay with the Blackthorns in Los Angeles, Emma and Julian realize that they are drawn to each other in a way prohibited by the rules of their parabatai bond. Julian's older brother Mark returns, conditionally, from the Wild Hunt to help the duo investigate recent murders that Emma believes may be connected to those of her parents. The Clave insists that her parents' deaths were related to the war, so true to Shadowhunter form, the teens take matters into their own hands, enlisting the help of the warlock Malcolm Fade and their tutor, Diana Wrayburn, as they pursue a dangerous truth that will unlock secrets of betrayal, obsession, and revenge. Complications abound, with multiple cliff-hangers that hint at the hard-hitting drama to come as the series continues. Clare delivers spectacular Shadowhunter fare with her trademark street tough yet emotionally fragile adolescent characters taking on adult roles and includes plenty of violent action and passionate romance to satisfy fans of "The Infernal Devices" and "The Mortal Instruments" series, who will be thrilled to see some of their favorite characters from the previous books make appearances. VERDICT A must-have for libraries with devoted Shadowhunter fans, who will undoubtedly be waiting for this emotionally intense beginning to her new series.—Kerry Sutherland, Akron-Summit County Public Library, OH

"Positively a quiver with secret ardor and murderous zeal." (Kirkus)

I pulled an all nighter...
By College Stealth
My intention had been to download the Kindle version, read for about half an hour and go to bed. Here I am hours later, in the early morning, having finished the book. It really is a wonderful read and does not disappoint. There are a limited number of things that I can say because the book reads like a mystery novel and there are certain surprises that are important to keep so as not to ruin it for others.
It has been a bit since I’ve read any of the Shadowhunter books and have not read the mortal instruments. However, I found that the book was easy to follow without this background, although I need to read the Mortal Instruments at some point to have a better introduction to Jem and Tessa. It’s nice though, there are multiple characters that overlap from the other books, but this is not a story about them, there is a recognition of the past history of the world that occurs in the other books and then “Lady Midnight” gives a nod to them and establishes its own story with its own characters.
There was a bit of time in which I thought that the narrative was going to be very similar to that of Jace and Clary and Simon, but I then recognized that the characters of Emma and Julian, Mark, Cristina, and Diego are distinct; it’s almost enjoyable to encounter these characters as the same age as Jace and Clary, who in turn now look at the younger generation from their own adulthood of early twenties. It’s a reminder of how far the series has come and developed the characters.
There is a stronger relationship with the Faire in this book and it is insightful to see how this society/community establishes rules and responsibilities. It further expands the world of characters Clare has introduced the reader to over the years. The concept of parabatai is explored at length in this novel, with Julian and Emma introduced as parabatai who have been bonded since a young age as one another’s sworn friends, both having a mutual respect for on another in their Shadowhunting; it is compared to soul mates, who are then bonded by the Silent Brothers. This is a concept introduced very early, so I’m not really disclosing anything that is secret in the story.
Above all things this is a love story, a love story by so many people; some that are obvious and some that are not. Almost every layer of this book has love at its heart and the sacrifices that people are willing to make for one another. At the same time, it is also a mystery, with twists and turns, as the Los Angeles Institute is seeking to find a murder who is killing both humans and Fairies alike.
Oh, one nice addition to this story, as Clare has seldom shy’d away from new characters, whether it is sexual orientation, or overall likeability, is the introduction of Ty, who appears to be autistic. There is no mention of autism, but Ty’s relationship with his family, and inability to read human emotion to a certain extent, highlights his differences from others that he encounters. I think that it was nice to have a character that Clare incorporates into the story, but is not signaled out as being autistic, but has variations in communication, or as seen through the eyes of family members who love a younger brother.
Overall, a great read that kept me captivated all night!

A Must Read For Any Shadowhunter Fan..
By Mika
I just want to say congratulations to Cassandra Clare on the amazing book, and that this review contains NO spoilers what-so-ever in it, so feel free to read on without worry!
I know many, many, MANY people have been complaining that this book is just a "cash cow" novel to milk Cassandra Clare's "Shadowhunter" world for more money, but I beg to differ.
Not only is this an amazing book, but it's probably the best beginning of a series for any of Cassandra's Shadowhunter series. (At least for me)
You'll love the story, you'll love the characters (more like worship the ground they walk on), and you'll not want to put this book down AT ALL once you begin it.
Now, you might be wondering: "Do I need to read the other books to read this one?"
My answer would be: "Yes and No."
Why..?: "Because, you'll be missing out on all the amazing character's from the previous novels, and not understand some of the emotional attachments that the main characters in these books have for character's in it's predecessors; or even some of the family ties that come into play; or the subtle cameos that are placed in here and there.
BUT, the reason you can read this without having to read the others is because, in itself, this book is the beginning of a new Shadowhunter Era; and Cassandra does an amazing job of explaining the world and what's been happening in it to the reader(s)."
You wont understand some things, and I highly recommend that you do read the books that came before this one before starting Lady Midnight (I know, I know, you're probably looking at the length of all the other books and thinking, "No way," but believe me, it's worth it); but it truth, no, you can start on this book without reading the others.
Just be prepared for many spoilers if you do so, because there will be many if you are planning on reading the other books eventually; seeing as this is, essentially, the 10th book (not counting novella's/short stories) of the overall (world) series.

An amalgamation of everything Clare does best
By Aimal Farooq
Cassandra Clare’s Lady Midnight takes place five years after the war that submerged the Shadowhunter world into darkness. Sebastian Morgenstern came, and he went, leaving behind a twisted legacy that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere any time soon. His actions affected Downworlders (supernatural creatures like fae and vampires) and Shadowhunters (those who protect against aforementioned supernatural creatures) alike. Today, a string of murders has popped up- there are no distinct patterns among the victims except that they are fae, and that Emma’s parents were murdered in eerily similar ways five years previously. With the help of her parabatai Julian, his family and a secret alliance between the Blackthorn Shadowhunters and the faeries, Emma must discover the truth behind her parents’ deaths and catch the murderer, all while dealing with the everyday pains of being a teenager.
Lady Midnight is a triumph. It is Clare’s most intriguing, engrossing, captivating story since it finds the perfect balance between action, mystery and drama. This novel brings together the best elements of The Infernal Devices and The Mortal Instruments- the former’s empathetic characterization and relationships, and the latter’s contemporary snark and humor. It is modern and exciting while maintaining the sentimentality of the characters’ relationships with each other.
The characters each serve a purpose within the larger storyline, and they’re all wonderfully constructed and their development becomes apparent as the story progresses. Clare has gotten out of the ‘damsel in distress’ protagonist trope, and has given us Emma who is courageous, independent and worthy. She has also gotten out of the ‘hot-headed bad boy’ trope for the love interests, and has presented Julian- a soft-spoken young man who likes art and romance. She gave him the burdens of being a father-figure to a group of young children all while being a teenager himself, and this did wonders for his characterization. I enjoyed all the secondary characters too; I hadn’t expected to get invested in this set of people, but I did.
One of my only problems with this novel was the Big Bad, as you may call it. In her previous series, the main problem is one that has extremely high stakes, where the mortal world teeters on the edge of sanity and peril; in this one, I did not feel that the stakes were high enough. Which is not to say that it doesn’t have potential, because it does. I do feel that things are going to get much darker, much more sinister in the upcoming installments. And one final note, I also thought some of the cross-overs were forced. I would have much rather that Clare left her old characters behind instead of trying to force them to make an appearance in the book; it was pleasant to see them show up, but they did very little in the advancement of the plot. Perhaps in the next books we’ll see a more seamless crossing over than we did in this one.
Over all, Clare has upped her game. She has developed as a writer and a storyteller, and I cannot wait to see what new thing she presents me with in the next book.
