Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go -- especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother...

In the 'City of Ashes' the thrill continues, as Jace and Clary grow closer together. Sometimes they got to close it would make you cringe.  Cassandra Clare has proven that not only can she write and amazing first book, but she can come back and over power the first one with this follow up book. 

The battles scenes are always so vivid, as is the rest of the book. They make you feel like your right beside Jace when he's fighting off vampires or demons.

It is filled with epic battles, spicy romance, and dark secrets. A must read!
