City of Fallen Angels Audio Book


I am so excited about Cassie's recent announcement about her City of Fallen Angels audiobooks!! We are HUGE fans of the TMI and ID audiobooks. Here's what Cassie said-

"Audiobooks are definitely a funny thing. I love listening to them and I know the voices can make or break the book. I've been lucky to like the readers for the first three TMI books and was ecstatic when Jennifer Ehle read Clockwork Angel because I've had a big ole fangirl crush on her since Pride and Prejudice. And she did a terrific job.

We've always used female readers even as the TMI books have grown out of being told only from Clary's perspective and into the perspective of the other characters. But we wanted to do something a little different for City of Fallen Angels because it really does split fifty-fifty, with about fifty percent of the book being Clary and the other fifty being Simon and Jace (with even some Magnus and Alec tossed in there.) So we decided to have a male reader for the male sections, and a female reader for the female sections. Since they were just confirmed this weekend, I can announce that the readers are:

Ed Westwick! Sorry, Gossip Girl is my secret love and Chuck especially so, as I have mentioned before, so I'm going to keep doing that. I hope he can bring his classic slightly evil drawl to Jace's sarcastic lines. I also have to say I am looking forward to him reading Magnus.

Reading the Clary sections of the book will be the adorable Molly Quinn, known to watchers of Castle:


Who is already a fan of the books, has great comic timing, and is cool enough to wear a Star Trek uniform to ComicCon.

So altogether let's just say I am super excited! Looking forward to recording starting." (quoted from Cassie's site)

  1. Okay that is so awesome that They are using A Girl and Boy voices for the Book! I like how authors do that on audio books! Ed Westwick will do a great job! Iam not a huge fan of Gossip Girl but I can see him for the Voice especially for Jace! I will have to go Look up Molly Quinn!

  2. Oooh I might actually have to buy my first audiobook. GG is a guilty pleasure of mine also. I adore Chuck. Ed is ALL kinds of sexy. Just thinking about him reading to me turns me into a big pile of mush.

    Oh and Molly Quinn is great and as cute as a button. She was actually one of my ideas for Clary. So it is neat that she will be reading.

  4. I love audiobooks. After reading the Mortal Instruements series I also listened to it and liked both ways.
