The Mortal Instruments Series

By: Cassandra Clare

2016 Pages in 4 Books

"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."  – Chapters.ca

The Mortal Instruments series, City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, and City of Fallen Angels, is one that I have re-read DOZENS of times. If you haven’t already, go read them now. Plus, Cassandra already has the next two books: City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire in the works, and the first book, City of Glass is soon being made into a movie! If that wasn’t enough, Ms. Clare also has a prequel trilogy, The Infernal Devices, the second book of which, Clockwork Prince, is set to be released December 6^th, 2011!

Seriously, go read them now, it will be the best decision you’ve made all year.
