Cover Rating: A
Book Rating: A

Synopsis: 

A murderer is loose in New York City .... and the victims are Downworlder children. Clary Fray and her fellow Shadowhunters have a strong suspicion that Valentine, Clary's father, may be behind the killings. But if he is the murderer, then what's his true motive? To make matters worse, the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, has been stolen, and the mysterious Inquisitor has arrived to investigate, with his eyes vigilantly targeted on Clary's brother, Jace. Clary will need to face some terrifying demons and even more terrifying family decisions. No one said that the life of a Shadowhunter would be easy



Mary's POV:

In a fast review, the book was fantastic.

The story was woven just great with so much twists and action that left me with my mouth open. The characters were great and the style of writing made you feel so many intense emotions!
Also, the book almost broke my heart. I'm team Simon, and the author didn't stop breaking my heart into pieces with each twist.
The only con is that I would have made the ship scenery creepy. I mean the place, not the characters or things involved in there which were surely creepy.

Overall: great read. I read it in 24 hours and couldn't put it down.
