This is the 2nd book in the Mortal Instruments series. I tend to find that half of the time I do not enjoy the 2nd book. Book 1 pulls you in and book 2 tends to be the filler for the great build up for book 3. Even though this is not a trilogy, it did start out as one. Luckily, the 2nd book held it's own for it's inventiveness and non-stop action.
In this book someone is killing downworlders, Valentine is back, Simon and Clary are getting closer and lots of other stuff. It was definitely a great page turner and makes me look forward to reading book 3.
