Shadowhunters TV Series Airs 1/12/16, WATCH the 7 Minute Sneak Peak of the 'Shadowhunters Pilot' Now


Earlier this week ABC Family revealed the Shadowhunters treaser trailer for the Shadowhutners Pilot. This weekend at the Shadowhunters panel at Comic Con in New York City, ABC Family (ShadowhuntersTV.com)announced the series will make it's on air debut on January 12th, 2016, on ABC Family. They also treated fans to a 7 minute sneak peak of the pilot!

In the clip below, which was shared via Shadowhunters.com, fans get to see Jace, Alec and Izzy in action! Fans also get to see Magnus, Clary, and Simon at the Club, as well as a few Circle members, which fans know from the books. The club scene gives fans a look into a slightly different version than the scene in the book. Check it out below!



 I've lost count as to how many times I've watched it. My first thoughts were: The scene with Jace and Clary outside the club... HAHA I love Simon's look on his face. That is classic! That fight scene is AWESOME! And MAGNUS!!! Love it!! I'm looking forward to seeing more of what ABC Family has created of Cassie's Shadowhunters world. I'll be sharing my additional thoughts on the sneak later this week. 

What do you guys think? Are you marking your calendars for January 12th, 2016? Be sure to visit Shadowhunters.com for all of the fun from this weekend's NYCC! Trust me, you don't want to miss out on all the #ShadowhuntersNYCC news, pictures and more. 

POISON STUDY by Maria V. Snyder / 10th Anniversary Read Along, Chapters 1-8



Welcome to this week's Poison Study read along post. Today we're talking about chapters 1-8. Don't miss my upcoming Poison Study blog tour post! Maria will be stopping by Mundie Moms to share Valek's tasting notes, here. Don't miss Maria's post she's sharing on her Facebook page here.

Chapters 1-8

I am so excited to be re-reading one of my all time favorite series! Back before Mundie Moms was created, and I was just starting to reading YA, really back before I even picked up Twilight, I picked up this book. I absolutely loved it. Before there was Edward, or Jace, or any of the other fabulous characters I've fallen in love with, there was Valek! Before Katniss, or Clary or any other female characters I've loved getting to know, there was Yelena. 

Yelena is one of those awesome characters I seriously love! I admire her strength, her courage, her wit and her smarts. She encompasses everything I look for in a heroine. Most importantly, Yelena is a character who does not shy away from who she is, regardless of her circumstances. I know some of you may be meeting her for the first time, so I won't say anymore. Based on the first couple chapters, we know she's brave character, who's life was just spared by Valek, and accepting the job as the Commander's food taster. I'm looking forward to finding out more about her back story. It certainly doesn't sound like a pretty one. 

As I mentioned above, I love Valek, but for the sake of today's conversation, I'll just stick with talking about from these first few chapters. What we get to see from him in these first few chapters gives me the impression that only is he someone you don't mess with, he's loyal, and someone Yelena will hopefully be able to trust. He's definitely a fierce fighter, and cunning in the way he protected her, and made it know she's their food tester now, not a prisoner. I'm looking forward to seeing what changes between the two of them, now that Yelena has been moved into Valek's suite for her safety. Character wise, I liked meeting Rand, but I'm on the fence about Margg. 

Let me know what you thought of these chapters. Have you read this book before? Leave a comment with a link to your post.

Yesterday I shared the exciting news that the Shadowhunters TV series is set to air on ABC Family on January 12, 2016, with a special airing before it in December, here. Today I'm attempting to catch up fans on all the amazing #ShadowhuntersNYCC tweets, videos (I'll be sharing the full panel video in a separate post) and pictures that have over taken Twitter the last couple of days.
