Hi there! The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is
probably my new favorite book... Bravo Cassandra Clare, bravo!
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out
to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a
murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange
tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin
air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone
else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has
died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the
Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her
first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and
acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's
world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is
attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes
like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The
Shadowhunters would like to know...
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and
utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes
readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.
