Shadow Hunters 2x01 review contains spoilers


                              Shadow Hunters 2x01 review
Airdate: 01/2/17
Rating***** (5 stars)
 I would like to start off this review with a small disclaimer by saying that I have not finished the first season of this show, but I did watch the first four and then I just went right to the second season of the show, I have never read the book series yet either so I just jumped right in on the show.   The main plot of this episode was the fact that Valentine was starting a war with the other Shadow Hunters, and basically all hell broke loose and everyone must prepare for battle. Alec says that he will do anything to get Jace back on their side, and his mother says that she feels that adopting him ruined their family.   Clary was reunited with her mother, and in my opinion, it was the most heartfelt moment one of them any way that this show has done yet. One of the most shocking things in the episode was that Jace and Clary are brother and sister, and I feel that this was something that I should have seen coming but I feel like it explains so much about their relationship. It was revealed that Simon was a vampire, and he was taken by people and locked in a room; when Clary found him Jocelyn had locked both of them in the room but they had gotten out.  Jace and Valentine towards the end of the episode pop up in New York City, I believe that he is looking for Clary, but he ends up in a fight with some vampires and Valentine asks him to shoot a female one. The episode ended with Jocelyn shooting an arrow at Jace, and he disappears and before the end, he disappears Clary and Simon try and ask her to stop.

This was an episode with some quotable moments here are just a few of them. “It’s my life I had a right to know.” –Clary “Is it true is Jonathan alive?”- Jocelyn “I spent my life mourning a father I thought died before my eyes.”-Jace  “You think there would be a book, Shadow Hunters for dummies.”-Simon “I’m a vampire I’m running slow for you!”-Simon  


I loved this episode for a lot of reasons, and I thought that it was a very solid season opener for the show because it really moved the plot along, and it opened up a new story line that I think they will carry on all season. I really liked the fact that you found out more about the story line, and the characters and how they related to each other. I loved the family dynamic, and how much Alec and Izzy as well as the rest of the people in the institute have a love for Jace, and how much they want him back in their lives. The ultimate battle of good vs evil was something that I love, yes I know that it is very much a stereotype but I feel like this show does it very well. Going hand in hand with the family dynamic I loved seeing Jocelyn and Clary together again, I love the dynamic of the two of them    had. Jace and Valentine I feel had a very interesting dynamic, and I can’t wait to see where the show goes with the two of them as characters and a relationship. There was nothing that I didn’t not like about the  episode.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
