City of Fallen Angels / Cassandra Clare / 424p

The war is over but, as usual, all is not right and well for the Shadowhunters, vampires, and werewolves in book 4 of The Mortal Instruments series.  Simon is dealing with secretly dating two girls, being kicked out of his house, being attacked by mysterious men in grey hoods, and, most importantly, dealing with the Mark of Cain and all that it entails.  Jace is having dreams of killing Clary so he's scared to death of being around her.  And Clary is stressing over the fact that Jace is avoiding her.  Not to mention a blast from the past is suddenly back in Maia's life.  All with a background of fighting an evil demon doing something evil and a evil vampire who might not be as evil as originally thought, the book reads similarly to the first three - if you enjoyed those, you'll enjoy this one.  Be forewarned, it ends with a serious cliffhanger!

I listened to the audiobook of this read by Ed Westwick (of Gossip Girl fame) and Molly C. Quinn (of Castle fame) and they both did a fantastic job - a rare statement coming from me when reviewing audiobooks...
