The Mortal War is over, and sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is back home in New York, excited about all the possibilities before her. She’s training to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. Her mother is getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters are at peace at last. And—most importantly of all—she can finally call Jace her boyfriend.
But nothing comes without a price.
Someone is murdering Shadowhunters, provoking tensions between Downworlders and Shadowhunters that could lead to a second, bloody war. Clary’s best friend, Simon, can’t help her—his mother just found out that he’s a vampire, and now he’s homeless. When Jace begins to pull away from her without explaining why, Clary is forced to delve into the heart of a mystery whose solution reveals her worst nightmare: she herself has set in motion a terrible chain of events that could lead to her losing everything she loves. Even Jace.
The stakes are higher than ever in the #1 New York Times bestselling fourth installment of the Mortal Instruments series.

There were so many twists and turns in this book, I don’t even know where to begin.
I had moments where I wanted to scream at so many of the characters, to reach through my Kindle and grab them and shake them. There were moments I wanted to rejoice, and then other moments where I wanted to cry.
I am not sure why exactly, but every one of these books evokes a very visceral emotional response in me. I am now so thoroughly invested in the characters that I can feel every emotion that they feel, as if the experiences are happening to me as well.
Once again, the author has written a novel that grabs hold of the reader, sucking them in, dragging them through as if they were possessed by a demon of their own.
There were some typos or misspellings throughout this book that I had not found in previous installments, so I found that a little distracting.
The character of Kyle, I cannot decide if I love him or hate him, but there is something deep under the surface that just.. Gets your attention and I am not even sure how to explain it.
And then, the ending. Oh the ending. Yet again, I am left with a cliffhanger, with the feeling of “what the hell just happened.”
I am voraciously now onto the 5th book. Here’s hoping it does not disappoint.
