Plot:

Irresistibly drawn towards a group of demon hunters, Clary encounters the dark side of New York City - and the dangers of forbidden love.

Conclusion:

'City of Bones' is the first book in the 'The Mortal Instruments' series. 

The first time I tried to read this book I had to DNF it. I just couldn't get through it. I'm glad I gave it another chance.

This is basically the introduction to the world of the Nephilim. City of Bones, I mean it is actually the whole Shadowhunter chronicles, has Vampires, Werewolves, romance, drama, and a whole lot of action. It also had good plot twists. 

I loved Jace. He was sassy, his sarcasm was on fire and he had good humor. 

What I did not like was Clary. I don't know why but I really didn't like her. 

My favorite characters were definitely Magnus and Alec. Who would've thought that right? :D

'City of Bones'  might be a slow and sometimes even a painful read but it gets better. I swear. It really does get better with every book. 

5 out of 5 stars
