Discover this first installment of the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series and “prepare to be hooked” (Entertainment Weekly).
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.

The City of Bones is written by Classandra Clare. The Mortal Instrument is one of the best series I've read. This book is about a girl, Clary, and her life after her mother disappeared and she found out what she is, a shadow hunter. A shadow hunter has the blood of angels running through their veins. Their duty is to keep demons from overrunning the mundane world. Mundane is what shadow hunters call normal people. The shadow hunter's race is called Nephilim. In this story Clary finds out that her dad is still alive but is evil. She learns that the world contains demons, werewolves, vampires, and angels.
This book is talking about A girl who is normal but she fought out she can see angle and demon. She fount out her mother was a shadow hunter. And she meet a boy called Jason and he is also a shadow hunter. Jason always protect Lily. This book and movie is really good. I really like this kind of science fiction books
I loved this book, it is a very awesome book. I had a very, very hard time to put this book down,

The Mortal Instruments series is totally one of the best book you need to read. It is about Clary, a girl who discovered about things that others can't see - world of vampires, faeries, warlocks, werewolves, and of course, demons. She went to a party with her best friend - Simon, where she accidentally witness the process of shadowhunter killing a demon. As the story goes further, she discovered about her family background, and who she really is. It is a very interesting book to look through the world with all the downworlders, demons, shadowhunter, and mysterical things. I read this book because of the recommandation of my friend. She describe this book as "You must read this, it's so awesome!" Afterward, everytime since I started to read this book, I can't let go of it even if my parents tell me to. Even though I'm still reading the first book, but I am for sure going to buy more. I would highly recommand it to age 12 - 16 year old. Also, any person who want to take a look in the fantastic world of mysterical creatures. It is a very interesting book that will take you through the magic of book and words.
The City of Bones series is seriously one of the best series I have ever read. It's a book about a girl, Clary, finding out about her true identity after her mother's dissapearence ,and how she will be adjusting her old lifestyle to a completely new and terrifying lifestyle. She has a completely different perspective to the world and she see things other people don't. I have chose to read this book because I have been wanting to read these kinds of book for a while, but I never got a chance to actually read them. I really like the stories about vampires, wearwolfs, warlocks, and many other kinds of things that might not happen in our world. After reading this book, I seriouslly can't stop myself from reading the second book. The endings of the book made me want to find out what's going to happen with the characters life. I would defitnetly recommend this book to kids from the age of 12 ~16. It's a really great book that makes you imagine things and let you feel like you are in the book, going through the journey of the characters as you keep on reading with the book.
These books were pretty decent and I felt that the author did a great job expressing the characters. I felt the story should have had picture so that you could see the characters.I would recommend these books to people that like action/adventure books.
WOW. I'd have to compare this book to that of Percy Jackson, it was that amazing. The author creates a fascinating and multi-layered world, with interesting people to go along with it. This book had me 'on the edge of my seat' the entire time, with its constantly moving and twisting plot. Something that set me slightly on edge was (warning: spoiler, but its not specific) the incest in the story. Granted, I haven't read the rest of the series yet, but just be warned, that it might make you a little uncomfortable. But that definitely doesn't mean you shouldn't read this novel, regardless, its that good.
