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. . . .
My Review:
Everyone loves this book. Everyone. So, I went into it with fairly high expectations. I expected it to be at least 4 stars. But I was not expecting what it was. I was literally sucked in within the first 2 chapters. I tore through this book. And then I finished it and I just sat there for like 15 minutes thinking "Holy crap, what did I just read?!" I rated it 5 stars on goodreads but really, it deserves an infinite amount of them. This was just...wow.
