Description
Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go - especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil - and also her father.

Review
Cassandra Clare did it again! There are still the same lovable characters who are so easy to relate to, as well there are new characters that Cassandra has created using her amazing imagination. I can't wait to read the next book! I'm sitting on the edge of my seat! City of Ashes is a must read!
