Yup. City Of Glass by Cassandra Clare. Buku ini merupakan buku ketiga dari serial Mortal Instrument. Jadi yah, kmaren udah sempet nonton filmnya yang City Of Bones. Dan saya dibikin klepek klepek oleh Jamie Campbell Bower. #pfft Dan saya memutuskan pergi ke gramedia untuk membeli City Of Bones dan City Of Ashes. Tapi....eeer namanya juga serial kayanya salah banget kalo beli satu satu . Apalagi saya orangnya penasaran banget. Akhirnya saya lahap abis deh semua ebook inggrisnya. Tapi, teteeup masih belum puas rasanya kalo belum punya buku fisiknya.

Di sisi lain, Andrew telah memperingati Ashlyn untuk berhati-hati dengan Jaeed. Begitupun dengan Laura, sahabatnya yang juga memperingati hal yang sama. Namun peringatan mereka tenggelam dalam pikiran Ashlyn yang menganggap mereka salah. Dengan begitu, Ashlyn semakin tenggelam lebih dalam dengan perasaan dan hubungannya. Sementara Ashlyn pun belum mengetahui siapa Jaeed Hasan sebenarnya.

United We Spy (#Gallagher Girls 6) by Ally Carter

Cammie Morgan has lost her father and her memory, but in the heart-pounding conclusion to the best-selling Gallagher Girls series, she finds her greatest mission yet. Cammie and her friends finally know why the terrorist organization called the Circle of Cavan has been hunting her. Now the spy girls and Zach must track down the Circle’s elite members to stop them before they implement a master plan that will change Cammie—and her country—forever.

The Circle is closing again, and as the group runs against the time to try and stop Catherine Goode from killing off all the Inner Circle members, a bigger and darker truth starts to be uncovered. Who do you trust  when the Circle is everywhere? And most importantly, who do you save, and who do you hunt the Circle members, who are trying their hardest to instigate WW3, or Catherine who is on a psychopathic mission of cold, calculated deaths of Circle members.

Cammie, Bex, Liz, Zach and Macey in this book came together they were taking control of things, they weren’t sitting there waiting listening to what the adults were saying. They were kicking butt and taking everybody down. There was so much action and romance in this book. It has twists and turns and I just loved every single page of it. How could I not? This book was so fast paced. I loved it when we needed all this action to do with the circle and everything, yet we still had the moments of calmness and friendship.

I love Ally Carter and awesome her books are! Ally Carter is one of my all time favourite authors. She has a perfect way of writing action that doesn’t leave the reader wondering which character just got shot, ot shot someone. While I didn’t think the action was as fast and unexpected as the other book, United We spy’s climax was something I was never expecting. I enjoyed all the relationship dynamics in this book. There wasn’t much angst, which was a nice break from other book I read. Ally knew that the time for tension was over, and thank God for that. All the characters had developed a lot from the beginning of the series. They are beliavabIe and friendly and open, yet-suprisingly adult and mature and secretive. And i lovee the ending. It was a bittersweet ending, Lizzie made me cry :”)

United We Spy ended with me in tears.

This was the most heartfelt, sincere, coming of age section I have ever seen!!

Thanks, Ally Carter. You make a great book and series.
