    Uptown Oracle Reads… City of Heavenly Fire

    The final book in The Mortal Instruments Series, City of Heavenly Fire, meets expectations. It wraps up the story nicely, with a fast plot and a good continuing focus on characters. At 600 pages, City of Heavenly Fire is the longest book in the series. I think this was needed as the majority of this…

    Uptown Oracle Reads… City of Lost Souls

    City of Lost Souls is the penultimate book in The Mortal Instruments Series. It was also the first book in the series where I just couldn’t put it down. I finished this book in one day because I was just constantly wanting to know more. City of Lost Souls* lacks many action scenes which were…

    Uptown Oracle Reads… City of Bones

    The Mortal Instruments Series has been popular for quite a while. Especially when I was around 12 or 13 years old. I just never read them. Probably because no one gave me the books as a gift. The reason I am now reading them is because I watched the TV show on Netflix. Yes, it is…
