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.

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. ...more
