When Jace and Clary meet again, Clary is horrified to discover that the demon Lilith’s magic has bound her beloved Jace together with her evil brother Sebastian, and that Jace has become a servant of evil. The Clave is out to destroy Sebastian, but there is no way to harm one boy without destroying the other. As Alec, Magnus, Simon, and Isabelle wheedle and bargain with Seelies, demons, and the merciless Iron Sisters to try to save Jace, Clary plays a dangerous game of her own. The price of losing is not just her own life, but Jace’s soul. She’s willing to do anything for Jace, but can she still trust him? Or is he truly lost?
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series.

It took me longer than I would like to finish this book, but that had more to do with my life circumstances than any failing of the book itself. Though this book did take a bit longer to get through than the others, I still really enjoyed the book.
There were moments where I started to actually like Sebastian, only to have that dashed with a cool and vilified hatred.
There were several twists in this book that I didn’t see coming, though I probably should have. I see where so many things are coming together, and I look forward to reading the next book in the series. So much is coming together and so much that one could not have expected, and some things that you could. I will be interested to see how the author pulls all of that into the sixth book.
