City of Bones is the first book in The Mortal Instruments, a series written by
Cassandra Clare. She is also in the process of writing the prequel series to this, the Infernal Devices, starting with Clockwork Angel, which I have already read and reviewed.
I truly loved this book. It was captivating through and through, and I was able to connect to it in many instances. City of Bones starts with Clary, the main character, and her friend Simon entering a dance club. There she witnesses the death of a vampire, killed viciously by Shadowhunters, or demon killers. Realising that she is the only one who can see this, she leaves horrified. This scene is only the first of many very interesting and cleverly linked events that lead to a nail-biting climax.
During the meagre five days in which I easily completed City of Bones, I was unable to lay the book down: reading late in the nights, while eating my breakfast, and during any spare minute during the day. I honestly would recommend this book to any teen looking for an action/fantasy/romance novel.
