City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

Okay, so this is the second time I've read this book, and I re-read it to refresh my memory before finally reading City of Lost Souls (which I finally got around to ordering on amazon a few weeks ago). Like all of Clare's books that I've read so far, I loved it. Although I have to admit that after reading The Infernal Devices Trilogy, I'm conflicted as to which book series I like more. But why do I have to choose? :P

City of Fallen Angels takes off where City of Glass ends, with everyone coming to terms with the death of loved ones lost in the battle to stop Valentine. Also, finally Clary and Jace are dating, (but honestly who cares about Jace and Clary when Magnus and Alec are finally together!!!!!). Of course things start to come unraveled when someone tries to kill Simon and Shadowhunters with ties to The Circle begin appearing dead and drained of blood.

This book sets a dark tone for Jace and Clary's relationship, and I actually wonder if they'll end up together at the end of the series, which is something I never wondered when reading the first 3 books. As with all of Clare's books, this one is full of action and snarky, borderline rude humor (courtesy of Jace), and of course complicated love, especially Simon's love life.
