City of Bones, the first in the Mortal Instruments series,
is an intoxicating and addictive novel told from the point
of view of Clarissa Fray. Clary is an ordinary girl, living
with her artistic mother. But Clary always thought she was
different. Her suspicions became reality one night when she
sees a blue haired boy being attacked and killed by a group
of very attractive looking teenagers. Though it seems she
is the only person to be able to witness such events. After
this incident she is thrown into a world of paranormal
magic and her life is never the same again. She befriends a group
of shadow hunters (teenagers who kill demons etc) and finds
that she is mysteriously connected to all the strange
supernatural happenings around her.

Opinion: 

I thought City of Bones was amazing. It truly caught your imagination and was
hard to put down. Cassandra Clare used so much description
in her words and in the way she betrayed her characters
thatCity of Bones was a very interesting read. I was a little
disappointed at the final twist in the story and was able
to
pick what was going to happen a while before it did. This
would definitely be a great book to follow Stephanie Meyers
Twilight series, if you are like me and a die hard Edward
fan. Overall, City of Bones was an intriguing mix of urban
fantasy, witty humor and romance.
