City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)

Posted on by

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.
