City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare - 425 pages
Mortal Instruments #4

Things should be going great after the war with Valentine.  But everything seems to be going wrong.  Jace is having nightmares.  Simon is being attacked constantly and was kicked out of the house by his mother.  Alec is jealous of Magnus' past relationship with the vampire Camille.  Then they discover someone is trying to create demonic babies . . .

This is the fourth book in the Mortal Instruments series.  It is almost a reset of the series after the last book.  It introduces new characters and resets relationships within the series.

Enchanted Glass by Diana Wynne Jones

Enchanted Glass by Diana Wynne Jones - 292 pages

After his grandfather dies, Andrew Hope inherits a house and surrounding land in an English village, but things become very complicated when young orphan Aidan shows up and suddenly a host of variously magical townsfolk and interlopers start intruding on their lives.

I always enjoy Diana Wynne Jones' books.  She is one of my favorite fantasy authors for kids.  This book definitely did not disappoint.  I really like it.
