City of Ashes, the second installment in Cassie Clare's beloved Mortal Instruments series, has officially sealed the deal:

I am a Shadowhunter fan.



Someone is murdering Downworlder children in New York City; Clary's hometown.

Clary and crew, fear that the evil Valentine, the Darth Vader of the Shadowhunter realm, may be behind the brutal killings.



But how can they prove it, find him and most importantly, stop him?

I love how Clare continues to build out the world in this sequel. The stakes are higher and the action never stops.



There is so much drama, so much angst, one wildly inappropriate relationship, witty banter, dark humor, Magnus Bane, werewolves, magical runes, and so much more.

What is not to love about that!?



I am so looking forward to continuing on with this series and the rest of the Shadowhunters Chronicles!
