Trust is dangerous, and to love is to destroy. Plunge into the fourth installment in the internationally bestselling **Mortal Instruments** series and *"prepare to be hooked" (Entertainment Weekly).*
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, 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 how he's homeless. When Jace begins to pull away from her without explaining why, Clary 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.
The stakes are higher than ever in the #1 *New York Times* bestselling fourth installment of **The Mortal Instruments** series.

This is probably the weakest book in the world. It does not flow like the rest of the books and seems overly forced compared to other books. I also feel like many characters are OOC especially Simon.
Una estrella por Jace y Simon, que son novios, ft Jordan
La otra por Izzy y Malec
Le daría un medio punto más por las últimas páginas
Seriously disappointed by this one.
The storytelling is far from the quality of the third book. Mainly introspection and chat... barely anything happens.
Hope the fifth one is better or I may not finish all books.
I reread this book recently for the Simon and Izzy involved. It is cheesy, predictable, cliche, and at times lacks great writing; but it's funny as hell, has a pretty great cast, and manages to punch me in the feels despite all its downfalls. No great work of literature, but a fun place to get lost for a while.
