Helloooo everyone!
Queen of Hearts here, at your service. I wanted to post something from the very first time we are introduced to Jace in City of Bones... Here's the club scene where Izzy has lured a demon off the dance floor and into a more, ah, secluded area to basically whip him senseless with Jace and Alec.
"That's enough, Jace," said the girl.
"Isabelle's right," agreed the taller boy.
Jace raised his head and smiled. There was something fierce about the gesture that reminded Clary of documentaries she'd watched about lions on the Discovery Channel, the way the big cats would raise their heads and sniff the air for prey. "Isabelle and Alec think I talk too much," he said, confidently. "Do you think I talk too much?"
Jace is my all time favorite male lead <3 I like his character more than Will's and definitely more than Jem's (sorry Jem), but I'm sure the other Queens will disagree with me ;)
Till next time!

Day 3: 4/4
Hi everyone! Sorry that we haven't been blogging for a while, but we have all been so consumed with finishing up high school, working, and applying to colleges. :P
Anyways, I will be your new White Queen and I'm quite happy to take my predecessor's place! I still need to read CoFA, but I just finished the City of Glass and really enjoyed it! So, I was hoping to share my favorite part from it!
I love how Cassandra Clare connects the Infernal Devices and Mortal Instruments series because I really enjoy the fact that Jace is a Herondale!!!!!!!! Will is one of my favorites in the Infernal Devices fyi! I selected this part because we get to know more about Jace's family and I feel like there is still more to know about him.
"Jace," Amatis said. "Luke told me that you're Stephen's- that Stephen Herondale was your father. He told me everything that happened."..."You know I was married to Stephen before your mother was," Amatis went on, her voice tight, as if the words hurt to say. Jace stared at her-was this about his mother? Did she resent him for bringing up bad memories of a woman who'd died before he was born? "Of all the people alive today, I probably knew your father the best"
Anyways, I thought I would just share some family information about Jace in case all of you forgot! >.<
Love always,
Your White Queen

Day 2: 4/3
Hey!!!
Sorry this has take us so long to start up again....but you know high school, applying to college, getting into college and having a social life is very time consuming. BUT, since CoLS is coming out so soon, we are back.
Since I haven't been around in so long, I shall share my favorite passage from CoB. And yes.....it is the garden scene with Jace and Clary.
"But she's so beautiful."
"So are you," said Jace, "and very different from how she is, and she can't help but notice that. She's always wanted to be small and delicate, you know. She hates being taller than most boys."
Clary said nothing to this, because she had nothing to say. Beautiful. He'd called her beautiful. Nobody had ever called her that before, except her mother, which didn't count. Mothers were required to think you were beautiful. She stared at him.
"We should probably go downstairs," he said again. She was sure she was making him uncomfortable with the staring, but she didn't seem to be able to stop.
"All right," she said finally. To her relief, her voice sounded normal. It was a further relief to look away from him as she turned around. The moon, directly overhead now, lit everything nearly to daylight brightness. In between one step and another she saw a white spark struck off something off the floor: it was the knife Jace had been using to cut apples, lying on its side. She jerked hastily back to avoid stepping on it, and her shoulder bumped his-he put a hand out to steady her, just as she turned to apologize, and then she was somehow in the circle of his arm and he was kissing her.
It was at first almost as if he hadn't wanted to kiss her: his mouth was hard on hers, unyielding; then he put both arms around her and pulled her against him. His lips softened. She could feel the rapid beat of his heart, taste the sweetness of apples still in his mouth. She wound her hands into his hair, as she;d wanted to do since the first time she'd seen him. His hair curled around her fingers, silky and fine. Her heart hammering, and there was a rushing sound in her ears, like beating wings-
Jace drew away from her with a muffled exclamation, thought his arms were still around her. "Don't panic, but we've got an audience."
I know its another one of Cassandra Clare's mushy love scenes but I do love it. And all her books.
Yours Truly,
The Queen of Spades

Day 1: 4/2
Hello everyone! And we're back! Guess what's just around the corner? Well, since you're all fans of Mortal Instruments, you should know, but for the folks back home, City of Lost Souls! We're all so excited to start up the blog again and to read the book. In honor of the release, we'll be posting quotes, pictures, videos, and anything else related to TMI. I'll begin with a quote from the very beginning of City of Bones about one of my favorite characters:
She was beautiful, for a human - long hair nearly the precise color of black ink, charcoaled eyes. Floor-length white gown, the kind women used to wear when this world was younger. Lace sleeves belled out around her slim arms. Around her neck was a thick silver chain, on which hung a dark red pendant the size of a baby's fist. He only had to narrow his eyes to know that it was real - real and precious. His mouth started to water as she neared him. Vital energy pulsed from her like blood from an open wound. She smiled, passing him, beckoning with her eyes. He turned to follow her, tasting the phantom sizzle of her death on his lips.
I just love Izzy. And did you guys recognize that red pendant? It's the same one that Camille wears in Clockwork Angel. It's so amazing how Cassie connects both series through the smallest details. I can't wait to see how she does that next. Oh and I also think it's cool how this quote is told through the perspective of a demon; we don't see that that often. Okay enough rambling. I'll now close with a picture by one of my favorite fanartists, kara-lija:

Day, well it's been a while so I've forgotten: 2/20
Hello everyone! And a happy President's Day if you're in the US! First off, we sincerely apologize for not posting in the longest time. And when I mean long, I mean like two months. So nearly all of us Queens have read Clockwork Prince (except one, shame on you!) and we're gearing up for City of Lost Souls. It's not that we've forgotten about CP - I must shamelessly admit that I've been scarred by the events in the end and literally have been thinking about it 24/7. It's just that life has been so busy that we haven't logged onto here in forever. And now I'm rambling. Anyways the Queen of Hearts and I have started a collaboration for what we think may happen in Clockwork Princess, so be sure to check it out! Here's the link:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7742019/1/A_Reign_of_Shadows
And as for COLS, we will do the same countdown as we did for CP, but more geared towards TMI. We hope to start it in the beginning of April, so stay tuned for that! And from now on we promise to update this more regularly!
So until next time!
Love Always,
The Red Queen

Hey everyone! Long time no see! So sorry we haven't been updating the blog. Winter break just started and we're all still hella busy! Anyways, I just wanted to share with you something that I painted for my art class:
So what do you think? Yeah it's not much, but it's just a snapshot of Tessa. There's still more that has to be done to it, so I'll upload the full thing when it's done. Until next time!
Love always,
The Red Queen
