City of Bones

City of Bonesw is the first book in the mortal instuments series. I really liked it up until the last 50 pages when everything twisted and weird. Throughout the story Clary finds out about the world of shadowhunters and the beings they hunt, demons. She finds out about the existence of vampires, werewolves, faeries, and warlocks. And in the end she finds out the existence of her Brother. Also throughout the story a relationship is building between Clary and Jace, who protects her. Jace, A.ka Jonathan, is also her brother, which is not realized until they are in love with each other. There father is the definition of evil and they are siblings in love, what else could go wrong. I really just wanted the series to end there, but I guess now I have to read the other books and see how everything turns out.

Review/ Description

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. Clary knows she should call the police, but it's hard to explain a murder when the body disappears into thin air and the murderers are invisible to everyone but Clary.
Equally startled by her ability to see them, the murderers explain themselves as Shadowhunters: a secret tribe of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty-four hours, Clary's mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a grotesque 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....
