Annotation:
Fifteen-year-old Clary Fray discovers the world of magic when she was just looking to unwind at the club one night and happens to witnesses the murder of a demon by three teenagers who are invisible to everyone else.
Summary:Fifteen-year-old Clary Fray is not like everyone else, though she discovers this new world of magic when she happens to witnesses the murder of a demon by three teenagers who are invisible to everyone else. When her house is invaded by demons and her mother is kidnapped, she is brought to the home of the same teenagers who she saw kill the demon that night at the club. The three teens, Isabelle, Alec and Jace, are members of a secret group called the Shadowhunters, charged with slaying the invisible-to-everyone demons that threaten the world. Clary learns about this other world that lives right beside her, as well as uncovering her past and ultimately uncovering herself.
City of Bones is the first book in The Mortal Instruments trilogy. I found this story to be a whirlwind with intricate and complex characters. A must-read for teens who love the urban paranormal/fantasy genre and who like to read series.
