Review: City of Bones

Title: The Moral Instruments: City of Bones
Author: Cassandra Clare
Published: Published March 27th 2007 by Margaret K. McElderry Books
Pages: 485
Rating: 4/5
Goodreads Summary: 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. . . . 


Review:
Before I review, I will apologies for how shitty this review is going to be. I'm doing this before work and I'm also not very awake.  
Now this was a pretty damn good book, to me it was somewhat original. Cassandra Clare created a epic world with the mythical beings of both our past and our present. The writing was simple enough that I didn't to concentrate to hard on it, but it wasn't to simple where I would feel like I'm reading a book for small children. Interesting story line and some pretty interesting characters, I can't wait to read the second book.
