Title:City of Bones
Author: Cassandra Clare
Series: The Mortal Instruments #01
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
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… .
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare’s ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.
This book was NERVE RACKING!!
I will not say that it was not good. But that it was very very confusing.
And I am not a person easily confused.
Throughout the book Clary is made to listen to so many versions of the uprising by so many people, that by the end of it you just get exhausted. At the end I started to believe that everything is a lie and that all that a person is saying at the moment is an alteration of the truth.
I am going to read the next book in the series definitely.
But I do not recommend this book to anyone until I am done with the whole series. And until I know what is going to happen next. Because as of yet, I am still unsure of my own opinion.
But it was a good read.

I am trapped inside a puzzle
With no escape in sight;
I should have taken your advice
I should have known you were right.
But how was I to see
All that I was about to do;
Would lead me into the unknown
So much far away from you.
dear you,
you make me believe
in love - in love that
wakes up in the middle of the night
to worry about the creases on a forehead
it has not touched - you make me believe
in love and in rolling over and over
every morning and every night
and never growing tired
of the same old thoughts
…
Why can’t the weather be this beautiful, all throughout the day? :(
