Title:  City of Bones

Author: Cassandra Claire

What it’s about:

            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. . . .

Our Overall Rating:  6- Incomprehensible!

What we thought about it:

            We definitely had to write about this first since it’s coming out in theaters soon and our blog is named after it. Overall it was a really good book, but it wasn’t like the best thing ever. It’s an imaginative fantasy book written in third person. Even though we loved the characters more than the actual book, it’s definitely worth your time. It was very suspense filled and there were a TON of plot twists (especially one at the end that left us in shock!!!!!.....!!!!!.....!!!!). If you have read it you know what we are talking about!

            If you liked “

Harry Potter” then this somewhat sounds like the match for you. I can’t even count the creatures they have, but just to name a few:

-       Shadowhunters (Demon killers)

-       Vampires

-       Werewolves

-       Fairies

-       Warlocks (Superpower/Magical kind of person)

This book does have the occasional curse word, so there isn’t much to worry about. Romance plays a role- a big one, but you don’t realize that until later. There is kissing here and there- nothing you can’t handle. However, at the end, romance is a larger key and it probably will disgust you. We have one thing to tell you:

KEEP READING.

READ THE NEXT BOOK.

JUST DO IT.

Just trust us. J

Until next time!

Xoxoxo,
