In City of Bones (by Cassandra Clare) (picture from http://www.amazon.ca/City-Bones-Cassandra-Clare/dp/1416914285) fifteen-year-old Clary Fray goes home one night to discover that her apartment has been ransacked and her mother has disappeared. To top it all off, she's attacked by a demon and then rescued by Jace Wayland, a boy she met hours ago. Before she knows it, Clary is whirled in world of Shadowhunters, demons, vampires, werewolves, and secrets where she is fighting not only for her own life, but for the lives of everyone she loves.
This book is impossible to put down. You're on the edge of your seat the whole way. The only problem is that Clary seems to be digging herself into a deeper and deeper hole by keeping secrets and generally annoying her closest frinds, but I guess that makes you all the more eager to find out how it ends. It's really well written - the author reveals secrets at just the right time to keep you reading. And just the right amount of romance makes the book both exciting and frustrating at the same time. You're left desperately waiting for more by the end.
Sounds like a very interesting novel. Seems like Clary has a lot to put up with. Very well written post, I may consider reading this book. Thank you for the summary/review. Contains good information and doesn't spoil it.
