City of Fallen Angels, by Cassandra Clare

In the book City of Fallen Angels, by Cassandra Clare, Things are going well for Clary Fray, as downworlders and shadowhunters get along, her mother alive and getting married, and her boyfriend Jace with her at last. But nothing comes without a price, as nightmares plague Jace in which he kills Clary, and he desperately tries to distance himself from her to keep her safe. Simon himself is in a precarious situation, struggling between dating two girls, and someone trying to kill him. The Mark of Cain, however, protects him from their efforts, and he tries to lead as much a normal life as he can. But it appears that nothing can go right for him, as even his new room mate Kyle seems to be hiding something.

Having decided to add three more books to the series, Cassandra Clare gives her characters whole new conflicts to deal with. Nice to see the after effects of the war and how the characters are faring themselves, we follow them through whole new journeys. As always, packed with suspense, romance, and wit, readers will enjoy whats in store for them. For anyone wanting more about the world of shadowhunters, this is the book for you.
