Cassandra Clare is particularly impassioned about her latest book as it's set in the City of Angels where she grew up. She recalls, ''I was an imaginative teenager, always seeing supernatural creatures and potential magic around every corner'', describing Los Angeles as ''a fascinating, modern, sprawling city set in a place of dramatic natural beauty, where mountains and desert and ocean meet.'' Clare further explains, ''The better you know a city, the more fun you can have transforming its landmarks and lesser-known spaces into something magical.'' This is certainly true of the settings she has chosen for the LA Shadowhunter Institute, which looks out on the desert and the ocean, and the Warlock Malcolm Fade's Malibu movie star mansion complete with a glamoured crystal stairway. Her characters also visit one of her favourite places, Canter's Deli.
All these answers and more are revealed in the intriguing 'Lady Midnight'.
If you can't wait for the sequel 'Lord of the Shadows', tension filled writing engages you and you like supernatural romantic fantasy served with a side of demons you should start with book one of the Mortal Instruments series, [[City of Bones by Cassandra Clare|City of Bones]]. Alternatively you might like to experience Shadowhunters steampunk style in [[The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel, Volume 1: The Manga (Manga Edition) by Cassandra Clare and HyeKyung Baek]]
For more demonic adventures you can immerse yourself in [[The Demon Trappers: Forsaken by Jana Oliver]] and [[Demon Road by Derek Landy]].
Alternatively, perhaps the mythology of demons and other worldly creatures will tempt you. You can read all about their genesis in the absorbing [[A Field Guide to Demons, Fairies, Fallen Angels and Other Subversive Spirits by Carol and Dinah Mack]].
