And when Jace was ten years old, Valentine killed him. Michael,I mean.””That sounds like something he would do,” said Luke. His tone was neutral, but there was something in his voice that made Clary look...

In that case you have my permission to make out with her, as long as I can watch.

For the first time, he looked at her, and she wasn’t a stranger, she was Clary—his friend. His family. The girl he’d sworn always to protect. The girl he loved as fiercely as he loved...

You’re just worried they’ll hire a male instructor and he’ll be hotter than you.” Jace’s eyebrows went up. “Hotter than me?” “It could happen,” Clary said, “You know, theoretically.””Theoretically the planet could suddenly crack in...

Stop it.” Isabelle tapped a booted foot in the shallow water at the lake’s edge. “Both of you. In fact, all three of you. If we don’t stick together in the Seelie Court, we’re dead.””But...

Your Bracelet,” she said. “Acheronta movebo.’ It doesn’t mean ‘Thus always to tyrants.’ That’s ‘sic semper tyrannis.’ This is from Virgil. ‘Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo.’ If I cannot move Heaven, I will raise...

She knew how breakups went from hearing other girls complain about them. First the pulling away, the gradual refusal to return notes or phone calls. The vague messages saying nothing was wrong, that the other...

And then we met you, and it was like he woke up. You couldn’t see it, because you’d never known him any different. But I saw it. Hodge saw it. Alec saw it -why do...

Hey, Clary. You take care of yourself,” he said. “I know you can.” He paused. “And take care of Jace, that poor, helpless blond.”Jace made an obscene gesture, which actually did feel familiar to Simon,...

Not sure. Either way, they could have used a shave.

It’s her ability as an artist to see possibility where others see a blank page and, by extension, to see victory where others see certain defeat that truly empowers her…

Now very much against her will, she thought of the way Jace had looked at her then, the blaze of faith in his eyes, his belief in her. He had always thought she was strong....

And second, keep in mind that you are a weapon. In theory, when you’re done with training, you should be able to kick a hole in a wall or knock out a moose with a...

What’s that you’re holding?” he asked, noticing the pamphlet, still rolled up in her left hand. “Oh, this?” She held it up. “How to Come Out to Your Parents.”He widened his eyes. “Something you want...

Simon, you stupid idiot! I’m over here! At the window!”Simon jumped to his feet. He doubted his mind would conjure that up.

Not enough,” he said, letting her hair slip through his fingers. “If I kiss you all day, everyday, for the rest of my life, it won’t be enough.

He felt his heart, which no longer beat, contract, and he wondered if there was anything in the world as painful as not being able to protect the people you loved.

Simon snorted. “If you ever meet the man who could take advantage of Isabelle, you’ll have to let me know. I’d like to shake his hand. Or run away from him very fast, I’m not...

Svi umru,draga,reče.Mogla bi se jednostavno naviknuti na to.

Maybe they loved him on his own account,” said Clary.

Jace looked as if she had slapped him. “Why are you determined not to believe us?””Because she loves you,” said Valentine.Clary felt the blood drain out of her face.

“Jace?” “Yeah?” “How did you know I had Shadowhunter blood? Was there some way you could tell?” The elevator arrived with a final groan. Jace unlatched the gate and slid it open. The inside reminded...

He seemed only … annoyed. Annoyed, and sweaty, and hot. “Yeah, well,” he said, “the next time you decide to sneak out of our magically warded apartment through a door that shouldn’t really exist, leave...

I will have you know I practiced that speech. In front of a mirror before you got here.””So what do you think it meant?””I’m not sure,” Jace admitted, “but I know I look damn good...

But isn’t that what love is, Clarissa? Ownership? ‘I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,’ as the Song of Songs goes.””No. And don’t quote the Bible at me. I don’t think you get...

There will always be those who want to tell you who you are based on your name or the blood in your veins. Do not let other people decide who you are. Decide for yourself.

Is it really love to tell someone that if it came down to picking between them and every other life on the planet, you’d pick them? Is that — I don’t know, is that a...

Just like an alley in New York -like every alley in the world, apparently- it smelled like cat pee.

He touched her face. “I may not slip,” he said, “but I fall.

I’m happy now, Clary. Doesn’t that make a difference?

Pretty soon the only people left without a girlfriend will be me and Wendell the school janitor, and he smells like windex.””At least you know he’s still available.

Clary curled up on the ground seeing in front of her not the shell of a destroyed town but the eyes of the brother and the sister that she would never have.

Even in half demon hunter clothes, Clary thought, he looked like the kind of boy who’d come over your house to pick you up for a date and be polite to your parents and nice...

The alley and the music all fell away, and there was nothing but her and the rain and Jace, his hands on her. . . He made a noise of surprise, low in his throat,...

You look happy,” he said to Clary. He swiveled his gaze to Jace. “And a good thing for you that she does.”Jace raised an eyebrow. “Is this the part where you tell me that if...

Facilis descensus AvernoNoctes atque dies patet atri ianua DitisSed revocare gradum superasque evadere ad aurasHoc opus labor est

I don’t care what you think. You’re not my brother,” Clary said. “You’re a murderer.””I really don’t see how those things cancel each other out,” said Sebastian.

Come on,” he said. “Let’s get back to Alec before he decides Isabelle and Simon are having sex off in the caves and starts freaking out.

Take it, and cut your brother’s throat with it, and take back the honor of your blood.

But Clary’s a hero at heart- and that means she’ll find a way to be the hero she needs to be, to look beyond the skills she doesn’t have and draw on the skills she...

There is no pretending”,Jace said with absolute clarity.”I love you,and I will love you until I die,and if there’s a life after that,I’ll love you then.”She caught her breath.He had said it-the words there was...

Well I’d certainly hate to interrupt your pleasant night stroll with my sudden death.

Now this,’ said Jace, ‘is a situation.

I stabbed you. With a massive sword. You caught on fire.”His lips twitched, almost imperceptibly. “Okay, so maybe our problems aren’t like other couples.

Well, I’d certainly hate to interrupt your pleasant night stroll with my sudden death.”He blinked. “There is a fine line between sarcasm and outright hostility, and you seem to have crossed it. What’s up?

Suddenly reminded, she clapped a hand over her mouth. “Oh—Simon!””No, I’m Jace,” said Jace patiently. “Simon is the weaselly little one with the bad haircut and dismal fashion sense.””Oh, shut up,” she replied, but it...

He’s not here.””Not here like he just popped around the corner to the bodega for a six-pack of Diet Coke and a box of Krispy Kremes, or not here like…

(Sebastian) “See, there you go. You’re always looking at me like that.””Like what?””Like I burn down animal shelters for fun and light my cigarettes with orphans.
