City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

WARNING. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ 'THE CITY OF BONES' BY CASSANDRA CLARE. I'M SERIOUS!                                      

    So some crazy stuff is going down in this book, some unbelievable stuff. Finding her mother in a magical comatose state, Clary Fray is now faced with trying to not only find a way to wake her mother, but now knowing she's a Shadow Hunter, she's trying to help find the second mortal instrument. If that wasn't enough, she also finds out that her real father is actually the most evil man alive, the one and only, Valentine Morgenstern. (who by the way is supposed to be dead. Just throwing it out there.) On top of that, Mr. Heart stopper himself, aka Jace Wayland, (or should I say Morgenstern) is also her brother. 

    Then, just to really make your head spin, Simon is in love with her. Whoo! That was a lot and there's still more. Poor Jace is being accused of helping his father escape. You know, the evil one who tried to break the peace between the Down Worlders and Nephilim by trying to slaughter everyone. Then faked his death and went into hiding the past fifteen years raising Jace till he was ten, fooling everyone in believing that Jace was Michael Wayland's son, just to fake his death again. Then gathered his followers and stole the mortal cup and now going after the sword. Yeah, you know the one. The question is, will he? Valentine wasn't the most nurturing father, but he was the only one Jace ever knew. Now that his father is back from the dead and he's being accused of horrible crimes, where will his loyalty lie? With his long lost dad who seems to be there for him? Or his adopted family who can't help but feel weary around him? 

     On top of it, trying to sort out his feelings for his knew founded sister. It’s a topsy turvy world right now for our heroes. But 'the City of Ashes' makes an amazing sequel to 'the City of Bones'. Cassandra Clare can do no wrong. If you read this post without reading the first book and now your upset because i spilled everything when I warned you not to. All well. I mean come on, it was in big capital letters. You should of listened and you can blame no one but yourself. Well guys, read the book and tell me what you think. I assure you, if you liked 'the City of Bones' you're going to love 'the City of Ashes".
