Synopsis
Discover this first installment of the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series and "prepare to be hooked" ( Entertainment Weekly ). 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., Their hidden world is about to be revealed.... 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. Clary knows she should call the police, but it's hard to explain a murder when the body disappears into thin air and the murderers are invisible to everyone but Clary. Equally startled by her ability to see them, the murderers explain themselves as Shadowhunters: a secret tribe of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty-four hours, Clary's mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a grotesque 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....

    Great action, real page turner!

    Cassadaga Claremont has written a series here about demon slayers who protect the world from evil with their special powers. The Immortal Instruments series is every bit as good as the Harry Potter novels and I recommend it to anyone that enjoyed Harry Potter's world. I am reviewing this series because I thought my granddaughter might enjoy delving into this interesting world.

  • Light story with morale

    The book is completely different than the movie that is based on this book but still worth reading. It is a story about young Clary Fairchild that in one day her life is completely turned upside-down. She realizes, she is a daughter of so called shadowhunter. Shadowhunters are "people" that fight with demons to keep people like us (called mundiens) safe. Yes. READ THE BOOK TO KNOW MORE YOU FILTHY ANIMAL!

  • It was early!?!?!

    I actually can't believe it was earlier than the day it was expected for. I'm so happy that it arrived when it did. I thought that it was going to be bad quality or at least not as good but its perfect and better than what expected. I would totally recommend buying this book to any others trying to go into the shadow world.

  • Loved the movie & series, couldn't wait for new seasons, therefore purchased books

    Very much liked the movie "The Mortal Instruments - City of Bones" which came out in 2013. Very compelling story line, great characters with familiar actors... Also recently watched series "Shadowhunters" a little cheesy at fist, but it gets more interesting as story unravels, plus series has more details behind the book and the hole theme really draws you in because good and evil is something every person deals with on daily basis. So I got a really good deal on all 5 books and about to start reading them to see what will happen before next season of Shadowhunters begins. Mainly this movie/book is about angels and demons and people who live in between. It touches aspects of people morals, orientation and family values, which is very hard to find these days. Personally I would recommend ...
