Is love worth betraying everything? Plunge into the second adventure in the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series and “prepare to be hooked” (Entertainment Weekly).
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, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil—and also her father.
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings—and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?
In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York City's Downworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation.

THIS BOOK IS GOOD I HAVE READ IT. 16 YEAR OLD CLARY FRAY FOUND OUT THAT JACE IS HER BROTHER AND COULD NOT BE WITH HIM SO SHE STARTED DATING HIM TO FORGET JACE BUT SHE COULDNT.
this one is fine too but to me it dose not have so much action or romance but i still think you should read it,
I read this book and it was amazing! fist of all love all the mythical characters that they have in the book and you might too. The series starts of when it explains all the characters and then explains how everything works. once you read the second, you might love the 2nd. I recommend this book if you love amazing, thrilling, entertaining, some what scary, romance, drama, family related books.

This is my favorite book. The action and suspense and the drama make it all the better. The one thing about this book is that I would recommend being at least in seventh or eighth grade. There are some pretty... intense parts in this book and in the rest of the series. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who scare easily. Other than that GO READ!
I wish I lived in this series! It would be so cool to be a Shadowhunter!
this book is amazing you should read her other series to its called "the clockwork angel" its really good to
I love this book it is perfect for me, I love mythical things….if you are 12 or older this book will be great for you!!
