Summary
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...

Cassandra Clare's book, City of Bones, lets us on the insight of a new world where one girl discovers who she truly is. If you saw the movie and haven't read the book let me tell you now you are missing out. This book contains everything a YA novel stands for drama, romance, action, and suspense. It encompasses a magical world that humans are not aware of. Clare has given each character their own unique personality. Clary is a "mundane" that most would overlook for her innocent looks but tries to live up to her real identity. Simon, Clary's best friend, is mundane, who would do anything for her. Even if it means delving into a new world with dangers he has never even heard of. Jace is a Shadowhunter, who is too cocky for is own good, but believes its his duty to protect anyone he loves at any cost. Isabelle is a tall beautiful Shadowhunter that can bring any demon to his death with just her looks and her whip. Alec the brother of Isabelle gets jealous when Jace starts paying more attention to Clary than any other girl he has met before. I recommend this book to anyone who hearts books like I heart books. Which is A LOT.
