Quick Bio: Alyssa is a Multimedia Journalism graduate from Florida Atlantic University with a love of all things sports and books–her favorite being Cassandra Clare’s SHADOWHUNTER CHRONICLES. She became a fan back in 2008 after reading CITY OF BONES in one sitting and was waiting outside Barnes and Noble when it opened the following day to buy and read CITY OF ASHES. Alyssa founded TMI Source back in April 2011 following the release of CITY OF FALLEN ANGELS. The rest, as they say, is history.
