City of Bones

Last year I read a series called The Mortal Instruments.
(The City of Bones, The City of Ashes, The City of Glass, The City of Fallen Angles, The City of Lost Souls and The City of heavenly fire yet to come out.)

I found this series a very good combination and balance of both action and romance, with a few twists...

The mortal instruments are about Shadowhunters, demons, angles and more and I strongly recommend it to everyone!

I read all five that are out at the moment in a couple of weeks and I'm sure you will too once you start reading them!!

Cassandra Clare has done an amazing job on these books and I cant wait to read more of them. She has quite a different style of writing to most authors and that's what makes these books so good. Its almost as if shes writing from experience. Shes writing about an adventure, and shes put you in the adventure.

Below is the blurb from the first book that I found online:

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. . . . 

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.


You should definitely read these books! They will keep you reading late at night! :)
