Book Review: The Mortal Instruments City of Fallen Angels : Book four by Cassandra Clare


Title: The Mortal Instruments City of Fallen Angels
Author: Cassandra Clare
Publisher: Walker Books
Publication Date: April 2011

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.

Verdict
didn't like it didn't like it didn't like it didn't like it didn't like it  A Very Deserving 5/5 star rating!!
I am adoring this book series so much! It is fantastic, think of the twilight saga with Bella & Edward but The Mortal Instruments and Clary & Jace but way better!!

City of Fallen Angels has plenty of action and drama and keeps you hooked with each page. I certainly want my own Jace Wayland please!!

The love between Clary & Jace is just so adorable and while I was reading I was cheering for them out loud, Yes I did get a few funny looks off people hehe! Clary is just your typical teenager who will do anything and charge around not caring about getting caught or being reckless just to help the ones she loves & cares about.
Jace is your typical lad who does anything and very careless things and doesn't care about the consequences, That's where Clary's & Jace's relationship is so fiery & emotional that you just adore seeing them together.

The one character i despise the most is Sebastian (Clary's brother) He is one evil mother fcuker! I urge you all the read the series because I promise your not going to be disappointed!

With each book the series just gets better and better and you warm up to each character every time. I feel by the end of the series I will feel like they are my family too! Cassandra Clare's style of writing leaves you so hooked with the books and lets you love all the characters so much!

I feel with this book I could tell you every detail of what I loved but I feel like you, My readers would enjoy all this so much more if you read them yourselves rather than just reading this review.
The Mortal Instruments this year in 2013 are the most loved, full of action, drama and one series never to forget in a long time!

City Of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1) By Cassandra Clare


Title: City Of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1)
Author: Cassandra Clare
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
Publication Date: April 2009

When Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder. Much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered in odd markings. This is Clary's first meeting with the shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons -- and keeping the odd werewolves and vampires in line. It's also her first meeting with gorgeous, golden-haired Jace. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in an ordinary mundane like Clary? And how did she suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....



First thing is first, If your big fans of The Twilight Series then you are going to love this series, You will be hooked after reading this book and will be hunting for the next books I promise you. I think these books are going to be a love or a hate em sort of series..It all depends on the type of book series your after.
It is a girl and boy meet and fall in love sort of story but also has plenty of action and things going around that has you flicking every page ever so quickly taking the whole story in and being so engrossed with the characters.

When I first heard about this series which was a few months back, I wasn't too sure about reading them because I had seen loads of reviews some saying they loved the series and then some saying no just another Twilight band wagon sort of story..And Then I saw that City of Bones is actually being made into a movie right now and saw the trailer and thought it looked good and I thought you know what, I am going to try the books and I can only see can't I? Well guess what? Im here to prove now I loved them and I am now totally on the Mortal Instruments Jace/Clary band wagon now..sorry peeps!

All the characters in this book were written so perfectly and had me liking them all so much and I thought they all merged great for the story. Cassandra certainly knew what she was doing writing this series! I wished i had my very own Jace. I think all the characters kicked ass a little bit and I feel like they jumped out of the book and felt as though they dragged me in the book with them. The shadowhunters come across as very super sexy and dangerous.

It was a fab read and I had it finished in a couple of days and was straight onto the next series! I do think if your a fan of vampires,werewolves and other things then this book series is going to be for you. I do suggest if your not sure though about buying..then try renting from your local library first.
