As of now I know that Clary's father, who was a decorated soldier, died in a car accident before she was born. Also, Clary is in a fight with her mother because her mother, who's name is Jocelyn; Luke, one of her mother's close friends; and Clary are supposed to go on vacation for the rest of the summer. Clary ignores her mother's calls when Simon and Clary are at Simon's bandmate's, Eric's, poetry reading at a coffee shop. At the coffee shop Clary sees Jace, one of the guys from the night club before, and goes outside and talks to him. That's where this reading ends.

I have enjoyed this book so far. I did not like it though when Clary fought with her mother. She also created this whole big fight between her mother and Luke. I think that Clary should've just went along with the vacation, atleast for that point and time. Jocelyn, Clary's mother, needed a break from reality, and I don't think that Clary understood that. It made me sad when Clary left her mother alone and went out with Simon when her mother needed someone the most. It made me even more upset with Clary when she ignored her mother's phone calls. I am very anxious to find out what happens between Clary and Jace when she goes out to talk to him. I am looking forward to reading more of this book.
