books that read-a-like. Here is what you should read next if you like:

Series: An Ember in the Ashes
1. Mortal Instruments Series
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to thePandemonium Club in New YorkCity, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by
three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons.
Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the
murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or
was he a boy?
This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters,
warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons.

These lists are ever changing, just like my
bookshelves. I try to only use books
from my shelves that I have read, so these lists are never complete. If you have suggestions that I haven’t
included, please leave them in the comments.
I’m always open to more additions to the TBR.
