City of Bones by: Cassandra Clare

I am inlove with this book. It is almost my favorite book, or maybe even that. It is written so fantastically, involving all sorts of creatures, but all having their own story. Everything you thought you know about werewolves, vampires, giants and shadow hunters is all twisted and new surprises are brought in. I would give this book more than five stars if possible.


Clary does not have a father, her mom told her he died in a car accident. They live in a small appartment, close to the house of Simon, her best friend. One day, when she decides to go to a club, she sees two men and a woman all the way in the back of a room, forcing another man in. Clary sees a flash of silver and notices, its a knife. She grabbed Simon and told him to get help, not able to wait she goes for it herself though. What she sees is brutal. They killed the man with the blue hair and call themselves  Shaddow Hunters. They want to kill Clary too, since she saw it, but she escapes. When she thought that was wierd, she arrives home with a monster in her appartment and her mom kidnapped. Somehow, Clary defeats the monster, but why does she wake up by one of the three Shaddow Hunters again? And what was that creature? Where is her mom? And genarally......What happend?

Male sure to read the other two brillant parts, City of  Glass and city of Ashes, in Cassandra Clares Triology. You will fall in love and not be able to put the book down, just like me.
