CITY OF ASHES BOOK REVIEW

    For the month of February I was fortunate enough to get transported into the world of Clarissa Fray. Because of the fact that in previous book review I did was the first book in the series called "The City of Bones' if you have not read that book do not read this blog post because it has *SPOILERS* from the first book.

   
     Clary just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you are a demon slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is is a magical coma, and you can suddenly see a whole bunch of Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left this magical and mysterious world behind it would definitely mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who is now becoming more than a friend... But there is no way she could do that it would mean leaving behind her handsome new found brother, Jace. Clary's only chance to save her mother is to find a rouge Shadowhunter named Valentine who is probably insane, absolutely crazy, and just so happens to be her father. To complicate matters more there have been a series of Downworlder killings in New York City. Is Valentine behind the killings? and if so why? Can Clary find out what is happening and stop it in time to save her mom? Or will she fail and be responsible for demons taking over the world?

     Overall this book would be an A. The one and only complaint I have is that it was slow in some parts just like the last book. However, in the end it all made sense as to why those "slow parts" were included. This book is full of action, adventure, and romance. It is perfect for everyone, and I strongly encourage you to give this book or the first one before it a shot.
