The Shadowhunters touched by angels and charged with protecting innocents battle demons and other evil in the bestselling Mortal Instruments series. City of Bones When 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 odd markings. This is Clary"s first meeting with the Shadowhunters warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons and keeping the odd werewolves and vampires in line. It"s also her first meeting with gorgeous golden-haired Jace. 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.

As Valentine musters a demon army can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their ancient hatred and work together? And can Clary harness her newfound powers to help save them all whatever the cost?
This series is just wonderful, it's got everything I love about books. It takes you by the hand and pulls you so deeply in that you'll forget where your from and that where you are doesn't really exist no matter how much you wish it did. It's even got a perfect sarcastic character, which every book needs, who also melts your heart. Jace, Clary, Alec, Isabelle are all such complex and fantastic characters that you just want them to be your best friends, and for a while they are.
Definitely on my top ten for books I've read this year
