I'm just on the fence about recommending it because it was really, really difficult to get through. More so than Dark Duet. I actually dreaded picking it back up at times because I wasn't sure I could take any more!!

It's very, very good. I read it in one sitting. With tears streaming down my cheeks, ugly crying and everything!! Haven't cried like that since Sweet Gum Tree.

I asked some wonderful ppl in the Romance Forum Refugees for suggestions of books with dark heroes and this was perfect. I look forward to reading more. Although, one of my stipulations was that the hero not physically harm the heroine, and I was warned that one of the heroes does, later in the series. I am worried, but now that I have started I have to continue this amazing series!

Yes, I am about 36% done and it's just painful, even to me. Poor girl lol

was enjoying it until someone told me all about the plagiarism and I now do not know if I want to read it anymore.
Emma wrote: "I am reading was enjoying it until someone told me all about the plagiarism and I now do not know if I want to read it anymore."There is no plagiarism.
There is from her, not sure if it's in this book, but she has plagiarised before.
Emma wrote: "There is from her, not sure if it's in this book, but she has plagiarised before."Where? She wrote Harry Potter fanfiction, but since it was a fanfiction there is no real plagiarism.

Sylvia wrote: "@Emma, like Gabby has said, she has not plagiarised, she once was a fanfiction writer but The Mortal Instrument series is her own creation. This is definitely the first I've heard of it."Ye I knew about the fanfiction, I admit I do not know the full story, I think it's that people feel the characters are too alike Harry Potter characters. When she was writing fan fiction she took her work from other places and was banned from the site. I suppose it cannot be true if she is still selling the books and making a movie from it.
Mod
I've read both her series's and I can't say that I find any of the characters alike at all. My brother is obsessed with both and he too can't see similarities. Someone always has something negative to say when authors become successful and whether she was a fanfiction writer shouldn't matter. Her credibility as an author should attest to how successful her books are. I love her work! Don't stop reading on account of hearsay and yes, she wouldn't be getting movie deals if she plagiarised.
Mod

Still on
and absolutely loving it. Will is so ...rawr....

Yeah, it's far more depressing and leaves you feeling completely hopeless while it's all happening. At least with Dark Duet you could see the emotions in Caleb as he was putting Livvie through it, and that's not at all the case here. What the characters go through blew past sadism and went straight to horrific physical and emotional abuse. For more than 80% of the 400 page book. It's crazy intense.
