Shadowhunters and Downworlders

Q: Do I have to buy the ebook to participate in a book club?

No, you don’t have to buy the ebook to participate, but we do recommend it to get the most out of your club. There are several premium social reading features that are only available when you buy the ebook, like annotations, reactions, comment threads, resources, discussion prompts, and more, all embedded right in the text. It’s a unique and immersive way to read.

Q: Why can’t I buy the ebook on the app?

It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

Q: How is Fable’s reader different from Kindle?

Kindle is a straightforward e-reader; Fable is an interactive e-reader that includes social features inside the ebooks. When you read an ebook on Fable, you can see and react to the text with others in real time. Start a discussion, share highlights and quotes, add emoji reactions—all of it lives right inside the book. It’s hard to explain and easy to see, so we recommend reading the free sample in one of our most active clubs to get a feel for it.

Q: Do you sell physical books too?

We do not sell physical books at this time. Wish we did? Let us know why here!

Q: Are book clubs free to join on Fable?

Most of our clubs are completely free to join. The only exceptions are clubs marked as “Premium” or “Career Development,” which do require a fee. You can find out more on each club’s detail page.

Q: How do I start a book club with this book on Fable?

The first step is to download the Fable app. From there, you’ll be able to create your own private or public book club and invite others to read with you. Once your club is created, click on the plus sign under “Currently reading” and search for this book to add it to your club.

“You can also find this review at http://girlinthewoodsreviews.blogspot.com Detailed Review: BEWARE OF SARCASM AND BLUNT THOUGHTS IN THIS BOOK This is the warning I'd give to people before they read the book. The authors' are really being blunt here. They just talk about everything that goes on in their head but it's of course a personal enjoyment for me to see authors' so different from when they write their books. Here are some personal favourites: The Art of War by Sarah Cross: The author shows that the hero is not always the person with fighting skills, but the girl with the artistic skills, which in this case is Clary. Sharper Than a Seraph Blade by Diana Peterfreund: Sarcasm is sharper than a seraph blade or any other weapon, don't you think? Jace clearly shows that. Simon Lewis: Jewish, Vampire, Hero by Michelle Hodkin: Team Simon, don't despair! Michelle does a great job with plenty of evidence pointing out that Simon is possibly one of the best heroes ever! Why The Best Friend Never Gets the Girl by Kami Garcia: Kami really proves this theory with interesting case studies and created the term "Duckie Effect". Asking For a Friend by Gwenda Bond: Besides romantic love, there is one more type of love: friendship. Gwenda gives you her thoughts on what true friends should be like. Villains, Valentine and Virtue by Scott Tracey: This author sure loves Valentine Morgenstern very much but he explains how this villain had the right thoughts but the wrong ways. Immortality and Its Discontent by Kelly Link and Holly Black: A debate on the pros and cons of immortality, with some interruptions from the author herself. What Does that Deviant Wench Think She's Doing? Or Shadowhunters Gone Wild by Sarah Rees Brennan: This author comments on the dirty side of Shadowhunting and the Nephillim's dirty and sexy side. Includes some Sarah-production scenes that will make you laugh till you cry. (Not) For Illustration Purposes Only by Rachel Caine: Thinking of getting a tattoo? Rachel sets off with the history of tattoos and how they're not just done just for show, as in the case of the Nephillim. And I'm done with the list. If you don't want to miss out those stories on top (I suggest you don't), read this book. It's unputdownable. And not boring, if that's what you're worried about these types of books. It's pure fun. Brief Review: This book is suitable for The Mortal Instruments fans who want to know more about the series' behind the scenes. Authors show off their true colours which are not always evident in the books they write! A solid example of course is Sarah Rees Brennan! Final Rating: 5/5 "Totally Amazing"”
