CASSANDRA CLARE CITY OF BONES, DEMONS, WEREWOLVES AND MORE

Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series begins with her first book, City of Bones.  We follow Clary Fray and her best friend Simon as they head to the goth-infused Pandemonium Club for a night of dancing. Shortly after arriving, Clary spots two boys trailing a couple into a room marked “No Admittance”. One of the boys has a knife. Against her better judgment, Clary opts to ditch Simon and follow the teens. Plunged into the world of “Nephilium”(another term for Shadowhunter), Clary witnesses a trio of tattooed-teenage-Shadowhunters murder a boy. Or was it a boy? Claws like razors, black blood and conversations about demons precede the boy’s disappearance into thin air. The “murderers” are as shocked as Clary that as a “mundie” (nickname for a mundane human) she can actually see them.

Following an attack by a lizard-like demon and the disappearance of her mother, Clary is thrown head first into a world of secret societies and monsters.

Great review of City of Bones. Althought I haven’t read it, it just went on my list of books I want to read.
