I didn't expect to like this book at all. But about a fourth of the way into it, I loved it. Clary and Jace. Wow, what a pairing. And then OMG, the climactic scenes - amazing.

I loved this book but I don't think I like the relationship part. I really didn't want it to work out that way. I loved Jace and I have to say he is my favorite character. I didn't like Alec or Isabelle at first but by the end of the book they grew on me. I liked Simon at first but he screwed up and I don't really care as much for him at the end. I can't wait to start the next book and see what I think of everybody in the end.

This was like a guilty pleasure. I'm not really into the whole vampire/werewolf/angel/demon phenom. But this was a nice mix of everything without being too dark. I thought the plot was well paced and the characters held enough interest...till the end. The twist at the end (which is predictable)was icky in a luke/leia sorta way. And difuses any interest you may have in the characters or their relationships. If I read the next book it will be as guilty as this one--maybe a good book for the beach.
