City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
4.0


‘“Then what?””Then you’ll see the world as it is - infinite,” said Jace with a dry smile “Don’t quote Blake at me”.‘ Imagine your world flipping upside down. Your mother acts suspiciously, you are seeing things no one else seems to notice and who is that blond, beautiful but dangerous looking guy with tattoo’s?

City of Bones, the first book in The Mortal Instruments series. Clary Fray is seeing weird and unexplainable things. When she and her best friend Simon visit a nightclub she witnesses a murder done by three teenagers covered in strange tattoos. But nobody but Clary seems to see what happend. Worst of all, when she returns home her mother has disappeared and she is attacked by a strange being. But the boy with the tattoos is here to help.

City of Bones was my fist introduction in the Shadowhunters Chronicles and I loved every bit of it! Although I wasn’t quite a complet newbie, as I watched the Netflix show a few years back. But for some reason I never picked up the book. Now I wished I did that sooner, because this book was so much more than that show. It was quick paced, had an interesting world building and most of all had humor. Lots of it. And if I love something it’s dark and sarcastic humor. Because of that I developed an instant crush on Jace, Simon and Isabelle. Not to mention, I was crushing hard on this forbidden love part of this novel. I really was smitten with everything this world had to offer and can’t wait to see how this story further develops.
