When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder comitted by three tattooed teenagers brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body dissappers into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else. This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the Earth of demons-and with Jace, a shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts alot like a jerk. (  ) missnickynack | Jan 4, 2010 |  Have trade paperback and purchased the full Mortal Instruments series in hardback. This series is a great read. (  ) Scaryguy | Jan 4, 2010 | Great read. Good flow. Interesting subject. ( ) Scaryguy | Jan 4, 2010 | This book was really, really good! It's filled with a lot of romance, action and mystery. Though some parts are really predictable. Like, I knew who Jocelyn was WAY before the characters in the book did. But other parts, like the where abouts of the Mortal Cup was, that was really suprising! The only thing is, I don't know why the book is called the City of Bones. It doesn't fit the story at all! I think Cassandra Clare should've thought of a more fitting title to this book. But all in all, it was AWESOME! ( ) 8F_SAM | Dec 25, 2009 | I liked this YA fantasy book a lot, and I'm not a big fantasy reader. Fifteen-year old Clary discovers the existence of Shadowhunters, warriors committed to ridding the world of demons. Then her mother disappears, and she is attacked repeatedly by strange creatures. Why can Clary see demons, and why are they after her? The Shadowhunters would like to know as well... I don't think the plot of this book is highly original, but I did enjoy several of the characters quite a bit. Not a bad read if you're missing Harry Potter and sick of The Twilight Saga.

When 15-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.
