City of Fallen Angels {The Mortal Instruments Book Four}

This is the fourth book in The Mortal Instruments series, so if you have not read City of Bones, City of  Ashes and City of Glass, I suggest you go back and read those before you read this book.
This book had a lot more of Simon and Jace's perspectives in it, but I'm not saying this as a bad thing. Simon, as all of you should know, is a vampire and he can be in the daylight, which all vampires except him can't be in the daylight, everyone calls him the "Daylighter." Simon tries to live as much as a mundane life as possible. Obviously drinking blood and going away to Idris for two weeks is not mundane like at all. After his Idris visit his mother, who knows nothing about him being a vampire or going to Idris, is a lot less chill than she was in the past. He is expected home at certain times, she waits up for him and she started drinking. Simon's mother starts snooping around his room after she has had enough of it and you can imagine what she found. But that's enough about Simon.
There is a new character introduced and his name is Kyle, he's part of Simon's band, that has at least a dozen names by now, and Kyle is a very important part of this book. Later on you will find out that Kyle isn't who he says he is. OH! Also I almost forgot. One more thing about Simon. He has two girlfriends and that gets him in deep trouble.
Jace. Where to begin with him? Well, he is still deeply in love with Clary and he helps train her to become a Shadowhunter. Throughout the whole book he has these nightmares, I won't tell you about what, but it makes him very distant from Clary. The confusing part but not so confusing part is that every time he sees her, he makes out with her and she always asks whats wrong and he never says. But finally he tells her after Clary stands her ground and gives him an ultimatum after a..uhm..incident happens or nearly happens. Clary and Jace *attempt* get him some help but..I'm not telling you what happens after that!
Also Luke and Jocelyn are getting married!! This was a great book. I love Cassandra Clare's writing style and all of the characters she brings into these books.
5 Stars
