My Pick this Week....
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.... (Goodreads)
So I know many have heard of this…but maybe someone out there hasn’t and shame on me if I didn’t pass it along…. So, if you haven’t heard of Cassandra Clare's exhilarating Mortal Instruments Series that blew me away...then for sure you are missing out!!
Everything that makes fantasy and paranormal outstanding can be found within the pages of The Mortal Instrument Series...every paranormal creature you can think of, thrills, chills, superb writing and even some old school Flowers in the Attic action to make you go {blach}.
Book one- City of Bones immediately immersed me in this thrill read...and for me reading this series was fantastic because I started when the third book City of Glass was released, so I didn’t have to wait in agony for the books to come out. All three books measure up to intense page turners but out of the three, the first one still remains my favorite.
City of Glass (3rd) has probably the most intense fight scenes and the visual detail is so well written I felt like I was inside the book....the ending closes wonderfully and brings closure to all the characters...or leaves it at a point to continue....
Have you read this series? What did you think?
