Rate(on a scale of 1-10): 20. ;)



Can the lost be reclaimed? What price is too high to pay for love? Who can be trusted when sin and salvation collide?

Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge.

Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series.



Worst summary ever, I'll give you that. But hello, best book ever! :) I was sooo excited when this book came out. Really. It was unreal. I bought it on my Kindle jsut so I wouldn't have to wait another 8 hours. I was very excited. And impatient. :)

It doesn't start after the cliffhanger ended, which was unfortunate but necessay to the story. In fact, it starts with Simon! Whoo? No whoo. Simon's okay, but when compared to the MAJOR cliffhanger (or to Jace for that matter) I really don't care about him. At all. The actual story starts two weeks after the ending of COFA. Jace is still gone. Jace remains gone for most of the book. *weeps.* Anyway.

Clary's still kick ass. Sebastion's still creepy. Pretty much sums that up.. Chairman Meow (Magnus' cat, and my kitten's namesake) is in this book more! I love it. Magnus, still awesome. He and Alec are still together. :)

Clary's determination is astounding. I mean, I love Jace too but the lengths she goes to get him back is just amazing. Just saying. Especially what she goes through with Sebastion to have her boyfriend back. The entire Counsul pretty much gave up the search save a member or two, and she's still persistent. I don't think I go go through all of that.

I loved all the scenes. New York, Italy, and England are all I can remember but I loved them all. Let me just say that the Italy scenes was so sweet. I won't say what it was because of spoilers, but aww. So, so sweet! I wish I could have a relationship like that. But, alas no.

One scene left me almost speechless. Almost, because I could only say one word. That word was ew. It was in the latter half of the book, and I think anyone who's read it knows what I'm talking about because.. Wow. Twisted place, Cassie, very twisted.

I wish this book still included Jace's sarcasm, but like the pervious book, COFA it was missing. That made me very sad. One of the many reasons this series is my favorite is because of Jace's quotes. And they were lacking. I was sorely disappointed in that.

I still give it like 7 stars though. ♥
