About this product

Product Information

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.

great book
great book. the only problem is getting past the hints of incest. but all is not what it seems. i throughly enjoyed this series and have recommended it to several people. the characters are easily identifiable. makes a smooth read and hard to put down. the author makes the book easy to get lost in. i would love to see these books made into movies. all the different underworlders and their lives kept my interest and couldn't put the books down. i love how she handled the gay issue with alex. the situations were described perfectly for him as if she witnessed the situation herself. i have read other books where gay issues were not written well and not realistic for what a gay man goes through. but this was. my hats off to the author for a great book.

surprising great read
I was in a bookstore are saw that Stephenie Meyer (Twilight series) recommended this book so I figured I'd try it. I was caught up in the story, characters, and the action by the first chapter. I didn't expect to like the book or continue the series but it was one of the few times in my life that a book has driven me to read it and forget all else. I am no kid either, I'm in my 40s. This book has nonstop action and a world I'd love to be in. Worth the read and there are only three books in the series and each one gets even better. Science fiction, fantasy, romance, family drama, and even other issues effecting today's teens are covered. Happy reading.

The City of Bones is the wonderful beginning to a great series.
If you enjoy reading, I highly recommend The City of Bones. It is the first book of the Mortal Instruments series. I have read all six books of this series and am now starting the Infernal Devices. The author is wonderful. All are great reads.

Wonderful Read
Absolutely fantastic book and series....riviting...keeps you wanting more. As an amature student of theology and a wiccan/pagan..I found traces of many of my studies in New Age writings which do not exclude the writings of christianity. Absolutely readable. Well done. Sure to get kids reading and adults reading again.
