What's it about?:
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....
My thoughts:
I hadn't heard much about this book before reading it. I just know that people either loved it or hated it for different reasons.
I personally LOVED it. The world Clare dragged me into got me involved and kept me on the edge of my seat. As for the characters, at first they seemed to be way too perfect but sure enough, their flaws came out. Because of that, I ended up loving them. It seems like in alot of YA books that have recently came out, have one dimensional characters that are perfect and everyone loves them. So it was nice to read a book that actually has two dimensional characters and hey, they actually have enemies!

But like all books, you need to read it yourself before you have a real opinion on it. So I recommend checking it out and giving it a real chance. I personally don't think you'll be disappointed. :)
