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.

Good first book in the series, great character development and storyline
This book is one of my favorites, and will always have a place in my heart! Paranormal/Fantasy at its best!
Loved this book! The story and characters were great. I couldn’t put it down.
Enjoyed the first 4 books, then it got a little to much, teenage angst and lost it’s flow!
It was a decent read for a teen novel.
Love all of Cassandra Clare books.
City of Bones is one of my favorite books. The author Cassandra Clare creates characters that I loved following through this and the next five books. They were hilarious and deep and each had interesting back stories. This book is impossible to put down and creates new thrills with every page.
I loved the entire series. It’s worth the read.
Book is listed as ‘teen’ but let me tell you. I’m 70 and I enjoyed the entire series this book is from. Cassandra Clare creates believable characters and offers imaginative locations, well thought out plots and even some romance.
Ah this book is so amazing!! It was the book that got me into reading and will forever be special to me.
