This story follows on from The Mortal Instruments. Our protagonists are Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn who we originally met during the Dark War/City of Heavenly Fire.
Emma has been obsessed with finding out who murdered her parents as she did not agree with the Claves ruling that it was Sebastian.
The story starts when Emma stumbles upon a body with strange language etched into its body and symbols around it. Along with the rest of the Blackthorns, Emma and Julian investigate the suspicious murders happening in LA. A family member is returned and new friends are made along the way.
Cassie tells a story where friendships and relationships are questioned and tested. Where things are not what the appear.
(Potential Spoilers)
As the saying goes - keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
Emma and Julian are a powerful duo. I love Emma’s friendship with Christina and Mark. The twins are a favourite - Ty is such a sweet character. Cassie is fantastic at writing their different personalities and they shine through the pages. I like reading parts from Kit’s perspective.

La cosa che ho gradito maggiormente di quest'opera è stata rimmergermi in un mondo a cui mi ero parecchio affezionata qualche hanno fa, seguita dalle interazioni e dinamiche tra Emma e Julian, e tra quest'ultimo e i suoi fratelli. Altra cosa che ho molto gradito è l'esplorazione del mondo fatato e delle sue tradizione tramite il personaggio di Mark.
L'investigazione sul caso che viene loro assegnato lascia un po' a desiderare, ma nel complesso non è spiacevole da leggere.
Quello che mi è piaciuto di meno, e non mi ha convinto quasi per nulla, è stato il colpevole dei delitti e le sue motivazioni, nonché il conflitto finale, ma soprattutto nell'epilogo nel quale si lascia intendere che Lady Midnight sia stata riportata in vita con successo .

Honestly, I love the world Cassandra Clare has created. Since I got into HS, I have grown up on her books, but now I think I am past the intended audience.
For my fellow readers who are in the same spot I am and are wondering if this series is even worth it, I can say now that it is. I say that because I finished this trilogy.
Yes, it is mostly a cast of people 18 and under. Yes, there is overly dramatic and overly complicated love, I think at this point that's Clare's specialty. Yes, it's a little exhausting to meet this cast when all we really want is to read about the original cast from TMI or even TID but they do make a good deal of appearances in this series. That alone was why I picked up this book, but it was Julian Blackthorne who kept me reading. He has a solid head on his shoulders considering he is about 16/17(?).
Honestly, now that I finished this series, it's worth just pushing through this book to get to the other two.
