Justine:

City of Bones
by Cassandra Clare

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.

Finally getting the chance to read this (after I finish Beautiful Creatures)! I'm borrowing it from my friend, Stephanie the Tree. :D

Also, the other day, I was in a chat at Mundie Moms with Cassandra Clare, and two other authors, Holly Black and Sarah Rees Brennan. Afterwards, I got lucky and won a signed poster of the Mortal Instruments! *jumps for joy*

    I'm taking part in the Saturday Network. I liked this one when I read it but couldn't get into book 2. So I abandoned the series. I donated my copies to my HS Media Centerl. Many of my HS students adore it. I should give book two another try.

    Happy reading!
