Sinopse:
The Mortal War is over, and sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is back home in New York, excited about all the possibilities before her. She's training to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. Her mother is getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters are at peace at last. And - most importantly of all - she can finally call Jace her boyfriend.
But nothing comes without a price.
Someone is murdering Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine's Circle, provoking tensions between Downworlders and Shadowhunters that could lead to a second bloody war. Clary's best friend, Simon, can't help her. His mother just found out that he's a vampire and now he's homeless. Everywhere he turns, someone wants him on their side - along with the power of the curse that's wrecking his life. And they're willing to do anything to get what they want. At the same time he's dating two beautiful, dangerous girls - neither of whom knows about the other one.
When Jace begins to pull away from Clary without explaining why, she is forced to delve into the heart of a mystery whose solution reveals her worst nightmare: She herself has set in motion a terrible chain of events that could lead to her losing everything she loves. Even Jace.
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. The stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.

Opinião:
Depois de ler algumas opiniões sobre este livro que não foram completamente positivas, não pude deixar de ficar um pouco apreensiva. Estaria este quarto volume da saga Caçadores de Sombras à altura dos seus antecessores?
Felizmente, a resposta à pergunta anterior é, na minha opinião, afirmativa. Com uma história imprevisível e dramática, protagonistas memoráveis que nos fazem rir, chorar e questionar as suas desaventuras, vilões novos e ainda mais tenebrosos e, principalmente, um ponto de vista renovado, bem como a escrita inovadora e inteligente e o ritmo rápido utilizado por Cassandra Clare, este livro é, sem dúvida, um forte candidato para um dos melhores da série e do seu ano de lançamento.
Vampiros, feiticeiros, fadas, lobisomens e, claro, caçadores de sombras juntam-se para formar uma história de fantasia sensual, elétrica e romântica que nos leva a novos níveis de luxúria e divertimento.
As cenas de ação descritas por Clare conseguem ser apaixonantes e perigosas ao mesmo tempo.
Ligando todos os pontos apresentados ao longo da narrativa, o final é um que nenhum leitor poderá ter visto chegar.
Nenhum outro mundo de fantasia me tinha parecido tão apetecível desde Harry Potter.

| Um bónus deste livro foi a carta deixada por Jace a Clary no volume anterior, A Cidade de Vidro e que deixaria qualquer leitora a chorar por mais. Nunca um livro me tinha apaixonado tanto. |
