Mortal Instruments 4: City Of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

Book Summary: 

City of Fallen Angels is the fourth book in The Mortal Instruments series, a urban fantasy that follows Clary Fray and her friends as they navigate the world of Shadowhunters—human-angel hybrids who protect humanity from demons.

After the dramatic events of City of Glass, Clary and her friends are trying to find a sense of normalcy in their lives. Clary and Jace Wayland have finally admitted their love for each other, but their relationship is still complicated by the secrets and the traumatic events they've been through.

However, peace is short-lived. The Shadowhunters' world is once again thrown into turmoil when a mysterious series of murders occur in the heart of New York City. These murders seem to have a direct connection to Jace, who is struggling with the aftermath of the battle for his soul in the previous book.

As Clary and her friends try to uncover the truth behind the killings, they discover dangerous secrets, confront old enemies, and face new threats. The book also explores the darker side of love, as Jace's inner demons—both literal and metaphorical—begin to cause tension in his relationship with Clary.

With new alliances and old enemies reappearing, Clary must face new challenges that threaten not just her world, but the entire Shadowhunter realm.
