I had heard about the Shadowhunters tv show, but I didn't watch it until now that I read the first two books. The tv show is based on the books by Cassandra Clare. I think the tv show is based on the first two books mixed together and the movie.(maybe even the third book which I haven't read/listen to yet.) I will be posting about the movie tomorrow and Wednesday I will be posting about the first book (which I finished listening to yesterday). Here is what the show, movie, and books are basically about: A fifteen year old named Clary Fray gets her life turned upside down while going to a night club one night. She think she witnesses a murder of a human being, but it turns out to be a death of demon. She sees what most people can't see. She meets three teenagers who are Shadowhunters who kill demons. She later learns that her and her mother are one too. She also learns that her father was not her biological father. Her father is the one who is the villain. The main differences in the show are that Luke is not a police officer, Simon doesn't turn into a vampire until the second book, and she doesn't into a portal (unless she does in the third book).Isabel isn't accused of treason, Jace is in the second book. And Alec doesn't get married.

I remember the first book is adapted into a movie but it is a box office fail and it is compared too much to Twilight. I heard the TV version is better. I remember the movie is titled Mortal Instruments.

I haven't read the book but the movie is kind of boring to me. Fray has powers but still she can't perform anything worth for a main character in the movie. The main villain (Valentine) did not do much, apart from kidnapping Fray's mother. In general, I did not see much... or I expected much from this first season in Shadow Hunters..

I started watching the series on Freeform (formerly ABC Family) and lost interest after 7 or episodes. It just got dumb and emphasis turned to focusing on a gay relationship.

I've not heard of those books or the tv show but I'm sure I'd like it as I like all those vampire shows, books etc. Will look out for it.

The book seems interesting. Any show or movie is very different from the book. I didnt know about the shadowhunters. Thanks for the information
