Summer Book #18

Mortal Instruments #5: City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

Not sure if this is the final installment, but I hope it isn't. This was a couples book in a lot of ways. Clary and Jace, Alec and Magnus, Maia and Jordan, and Izzy and Simon. A couples book, but not all kissy-kissy, lovey-dovey.

As always, there's a crisis. This time, Jace is aligned with Sebastian/Jonathan because at the end of book four, he was an idiot and gave S/J his blood. Sebastian/Jonathan wants to create his own race of shadowhunters, but using demon blood instead of angel blood. Not good. Jace goes with this because he now has no choice. If something injures or kills Sebastian/Jonathan, it will do the same to Jace. Clary, because she loves Jace, goes to 'help' them. In a way, I wish she wouldn't have. She knew that Jace wasn't her Jace, and she let things go too far.

Anyway, Simon, Izzy, Magnus, and Alec have found a way to sever the ties between Jace and Sebastian/Jonathan. Will they get there in time, or will S/J's evil plan come about?
