Clary, Alec, Magnus, Simon, and Izzy race against time to save Jace from Sebastian and Lilith in the "goth-and-glitter pleasure" (Kirkus Reviews) that's the fifth book in the New York Times and internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. City of Lost Souls is a Shadowhunters novel.

When Jace and Clary meet again, Clary is horrified to discover that the demon Lilith's magic has bound her beloved Jace together with her evil brother, Sebastian, and that Jace has become a servant of evil. The Clave is out to destroy Sebastian, but there is no way to harm one boy without destroying the other.

As Alec, Magnus, Simon, and Isabelle wheedle and bargain with Seelies, demons, and the merciless Iron Sisters to try to save Jace, Clary plays a dangerous game of her own. The price of losing is not just her own life, but Jace's soul. She's willing to do anything for Jace, but can she still trust him? Or is he truly lost?

Customer Reviews

Very good read

If you love vampires, werewolves and such this is the perfect choice to read. Good characters, interstellar plot. Highly recommend this book

Not my favorite but still good

I really like this novel as part of the series, but this is the first one out of the bunch I had a hard time reading. Some of the events written are a little uncomfortable. Provides a good bridge between the 5th and last novel though, and has some great character development for Simon.
