City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, Book2)

Title: City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, Book 2)

Author: Cassandra Clare
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry
Edition: Hardcover

I was so surprised about the end of book one. A very interesting relationship between Clary and Jace made me crazy. Just a little bit. By the end of book one, it was very clear that they cannot have a relationship other than a brother and a sister to each other. I didn't buy it at that time that is why I'm eager to finish book 2 to know if they are really brother and sister. I still loved it because its characters went to a whole new level. I love Simon and I love Jace even better.

Clary felt something for Jace but now she needs to tell herself that Jace is his brother and she has to deal with that. Right now she sort of dating Simon, his best friend. Simon was happy about it. At this time, they also know that Valentine, Clary and Jace's father is now planning on something evil. He already has the mortal cup and they know that he's not finished yet. Jace was not trusted by the Clave anymore especially the Lightwoods who took care of him when he's supposed father died. Clary's mom is still in a coma.

There's a love triangle, vampire reborn, werewolves under Luke's pack and a lot of teenage angst circled around friends and siblings. Another problem arise when Downworlders were found dead and drained with blood. Clary also found out that she has another gift which could be of help to defeat Valentine. Jace seemed to realize that he has more power than other Shadowhunters. All they know that they are special.

Will this be the end of Valentine? He's smart and now summoning stronger demons for his evil plan. They need to stop them... but how?
