City of Bones - The Mortal Instruments Book One

by Cassandra Clare

First paragraph: "'You've got to be kidding me,' the bouncer said, folding his arms across his massive chest. He stared down at the boy in the red zip-up jacket and shook his shaved head. 'You can't bring that thing in here.'"

Review: I read this book awhile ago so the details are a bit fuzzy. What I do remember is I stayed up until 3 a.m. to finish it. I love my sleep so that is saying something.

Clary is a young girl thrust into the middle of a war between demons, warlocks, warewolves, vampires, faeries, shadowhunters and her own heart. This book has all the action, twists, etc. that I love.

I would suggest reading this book immediately - but first, make sure you have the next two books at hand. You won't want to wait to read them once you're finished with book one.
