City of Bones (Mortal Instruments)

by Cassandra Clare

If you like Tithe, Valiant and Ironside by Holly Black, you will love this book. Set in modern-day New York City, this book reveals a world that few of us see. Clary is your average teenager, until she witnesses a murder at a night club, by people no one else can see. It turns out that the three murders are Shadowhunters, and the boy their killed was actually a demon.

This book is enthralling, and it pulls you in. While the characters seem to lose some of their strength near the end, it still leaves the reader wishing for more. I recommend it!
