The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

If you like action, adventure, fantasy, and a little bit of romance, then this book is for you! City of Bones, the first part of a six book series, is about Clary Fray, an ordinary girl who gets swept up into a magical world of angels and demons. This is called the Shadow World, a world that Clary, a mundane (human in Shadowhunter speak), shouldn’t be able to see. But then, Clary comes to find that she is actually supposed to be a Shadowhunter, a person who uses angelic powers to protect the mundane world from demons. Along her journey, she meets many Shadowhunters, both good and bad. Join Clary as she journeys into the Shadow World, and read a book you will never forget. I give this book 4.5 bookish badges and recommend it to ages 12 to 17. This is NOT a book you can read without reading the rest of the series so make sure to check out the next books as well. This is the book that the TV show Shadowhunters is based off of. Be sure to read this book if you will/is watching Shadowhunters!
