City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

The Mortal War is over, and sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is back home in New York, excited about all the possibilities before her. She's training to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. Her mother is getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters are at peace at last. And - most importantly of all - she can finally call Jace her boyfriend.

But nothing comes without a price.

Someone is murdering Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine's Circle, provoking tensions between Downworlders and Shadowhunters that could lead to a second bloody war. Clary's best friend, Simon, can't help her. His mother just found out that he's a vampire and now he's homeless. Everywhere he turns, someone wants him on their side - along with the power of the curse that's wrecking his life. And they're willing to do anything to get what they want. At the same time he's dating two beautiful, dangerous girls - neither of whom knows about the other one.

When Jace begins to pull away from Clary without explaining why, she is forced to delve into the heart of a mystery whose solution reveals her worst nightmare: She herself has set in motion a terrible chain of events that could lead to her losing everything she loves. Even Jace.

Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. The stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels

Rating: I can't even. No.

There will be spoilers. Throughout the entire thing, so don't read this if you haven't read the book already.

This book tore up my emotions then put them back together, only to rip them up again at the end. Like WTF??  So uncool. Now I have to read the next book, just to make sure everything works out in the end. All in all, this series has been no end of pain and heartbreak.

Although when I first started reading these books, I knew that the entire theme is just so dark, so I was expecting the characters to be too. Which is why, after four books, I'm still completely in love with Jace and his snarky attitude. Seriously, screw Simon, Team Jace :D

Even so, I really didn't want to keep reading this series after the good ending in the City of Glass. The war was over, Jace and Clary were together, I didn't see a problem. But of course, Cassandra just had to keep going. So I continued, reading the next painfully good book.

Clary is still at her best, pathetically weak, but at the same time stubbornly strong. What her physical strength lacks she makes up for in attitude. But she still cares for the other characters, especially Jace, who she is constantly reminding that not everything is his fault.

Jace meanwhile is pulling away form Clary, in fear that he'll stab her or something. He has all these dreams where he kills her, so therefore he thinks he doesn't deserve her. -_- He dreams where he kills her, therefore he deemed it necessary to punish himself. For dreaming.

There's always that one book character you just want to slap some sense into

And then everything got good again. Everyone made up to each other, Jace and Clary started making everything work out, Magnus and Alec came back (:DDDD), everything was going amazing.

And then that stupid ending came. The stupid, stupid ending. I hate the ending. I almost cried, everything was so wonderful, but of course that never lasts. :/ I guess being a Shadowhunter isn't all it's cracked up to be, because for all the good those Silent Brothers 'can do' they did absolutely NOTHING helpful.

I loved this book, I hated this book. Read it, please. I beg you.
