A review by anie_star
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

4.0

This just keeps getting better with each book!

After the way it all went down at the end of the first book, Clary wants nothing more, than for it all to go back to normal. Especially the thing that she has a new brother now. Her mother is still in a coma and she has to adjust to the new life, where she is part of the shadowhunters and hides what she really feels.

She starts to date Simon ( I seriously dislike him) and he is overjoyed, but ultimately, there is something not right about it.

And then there is someone murdering children of downworlders. Everyone is wondering if it's Valentines who is behind it all and what he really wants with them.

It's even more action-packed than the first one. I couldn't put it down till the very last page. The writing is so addictive, you just can't stop reading. :)

If there is anyone besides me who hasn't read the series yet, highly recommend it! :)
