Publisher's Summary

Jace is now a servant of evil, bound for all eternity to Sebastian. Only a small band of Shadowhunters believe he can be saved. To do this they must defy the Clave. And they must act without Clary. For Clary is playing a dangerous game utterly alone. The price of losing is not just her own life but Jace's soul. Clary is willing to do anything for Jace, but can she still trust him? Or is he truly lost?

Critic Reviews

"The Mortal Instruments series features a rare marriage of extremely intricate, fast-paced plotting with ample digressions into the emotional lives of characters we’ve come to care about deeply ... With a movie in the works, this is an excellent time for new readers to jump on board one of the most enjoyable series in YA. Smart, fun, and epic, these books are addictive for all the right reasons." ( Locus)
"The new queen of fantasy." ( The Wall Street Journal)

Love this series

Loved all the books so far. Hope the last one is a great finale! Some areas of the story dragged on a little, but that's normal in books!
Not a fan of Eloises narrating, she's got a lovely voice but was a bit slow and drab.

Another great story

Love the Casandra Clare books. The only thing about this book is the narration. I found the narration by Eloise Oxer incredibly painful to listen to.. otherwise a good book..

Woman Narrator is unbearable

Three chapters in and this woman makes me want to throw my headphones across the room. She drawls almost every word making every sentence feel like it will never end and then most of the time takes a big breath between sentences that is so off putting. Everything is a whisper like she is trying to perform hypnosis not read a book for enjoyment. I don’t know if I’ll make it to the end. But I love the story. Maybe little bits at a time

AMAZING BOOK... Awful narrator

This Actual book is amazing! like the rest. But don’t bother buying it in here. The female narrator is terrible. I was only able to listen to 30 minutes of it before I had to go and buy the physical book to be able to read it

Love these books the Female Narration 👎🏽

Love these stories can’t wait for my credits to get another one BUT the female Narration in this one is truly TERRIBLE it makes it extremely hard to listen to even for a fan who’s read the books years ago watched the series n now listening to the audio books. SMH 🤦🏽‍♀️ it’s that bad I’d be stoked if the re recorded it 🙏🏽

Couldn't put it down.

Wow. Just wow. I read this book in one sitting. The way it was written was to die for. And the brilliance of two voices just makes the book that much better. Cannot wait for the finale

Poor narration

Female narration was not great for this book as her tempo was too slow and she had difficulty with different voices for the characters. The male’s narration was better
