OMG! I was thrilled when I first learn the Mortal Instruments would be made into a movie so many months ago and even though I dislike the actor they choose to play Jace I'm extremely excited about the movie. The official trailer is not out and it’s giving me goose bumps! It looks amazing! Here, see for yourself! So what do you think? The movie releases in August so there is still time for you to read the book first! ...
