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.

Cassandra Clare has captured my heart with 'The Mortal Instruments' series. The characters instantly grab you. Her writing is unique and fresh! 

Clary reminds me a lot of myself, strong and independent. If you want a good romance, but not too much lovie dovie stuff, this is a good book for you to read. As the story goes on, the mysteries continue to grow. Jace is just...wow! His bad boy attitude and his soft side make me swoon. I completely adore him!  

After finishing this book, you'll be rushing to get your hands on the second book in the series.
