I am infatuated with The Mortal Instrument Series. It kept me entwined with it's characters and unfolding drama. They are fascinating and unpredictable from page to page. I found a connection with Clary and can not wait to see how she fairs in her new world. Jace, a Shadowhunter, is the perfect pairing for Clary as their adventures draw out his personality and I find myself thrown into every situation along side them. The characters are well thought out, imaginative and unmatched by any other no

Strong characters, romance, fighting...this book has it all. With New York as a backdrop, you get to know the world that is totally hidden from Mundanes. I love the way the Mundane and Shadowhunter worlds mix together, yet exist so separately in many ways. Clary is an excellent female lead, with Isabelle being just as strong, which I always like to see.

This book is without a doubt one of my all time favorites! A definite page turner, and a book where, as soon as you finish reading it, you MUST begin the second one in the series, even if it is 4:00 a.m.!! I highly recommend it :)
I loved the whole series. I read them all back to back and just loved it.
