by Cassandra Clare

Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books

Paperback, 1st Paperback Edition, 453 pages

"Looks like a bite mark," said Jace. "What have you been doing all day, anyway?"

"Nothing." Beet red, his hand still clamped to his neck, Alec started down the corridor. Jace followed him. "I went walking in the park. Tried to clear my head."

"And ran into a vampire?"

"What? No! I fell."

"On your neck?" Alec made a noise, and Jace decided the issue was clearly better dropped. "Fine, Whatever. What did you need to clear your head about?" (Page 73-74)

(Goodreads synopsis) Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? Clary would love to spend more time with her best friend, Simon. But the Shadowhunters won't let her go--especially her handsome, infuriating newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil--and also her father. When the second of the Mortal Instruments os stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor suspects Jace. Could Jace really be willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?
