ok, this description is ripped right offa Cassandra's google group. I think she mentioned some details there that she hadn't mentioned before. Or maybe she had and im just a little behind -.- Anyway:
City of Angels takes place after the events of City of Glass. It
splits its focus between Jace and Clary and Clary’s best friend,
Simon, and how he adjusts to life as a vampire, but it’s still an
ensemble-cast story, and all the characters from the Mortal
Instruments series appear in it: Isabelle, Alec, Magnus, Luke,
Jocelyn, Maia, and many more. (It even helps to have read The
Clockwork Angel before you read CoFA, because some of the characters
from the ID series do show up in it. However, it isn’t required.) In
City of Fallen Angels, someone’s killing the Shadowhunters who used to
be in Valentine’s Circle and leaving their bodies around New York City
in a manner designed to provoke hostility between Downworlders and
Shadowhunters. Internecine warfare among vampires is ripping the
Downworld community apart, and only Simon — the Daylighter who
everyone wants on their side — can decide the outcome; too bad he
wants nothing to do with Downworld politics. Meanwhile Jace and Clary
investigate a mystery that has deeply personal consequences for them —
consequences that may strengthen their relationship, or rip it apart
forever. Love, blood, betrayal and revenge: the stakes are higher than
ever in City of Fallen Angels.
