Oh wow! I can't believe I didn't review this book! I think I might know why I didn't! Because I was utterly speechless. The plot! THE FREAKING PLOT! So so so so so Good! I actually don't know what to say without giving anything away! I really don't! I can tell about the characters and the world the story involves in? Yeah I will do that.
Ok so, Clary is a red-headed stubborn girl, petite and slender. Her mother Joyceln is a red-headed too.... can't say more. Jace...... do I have to even describe Oh wow!

Ok so, Clary is a red-headed stubborn girl, petite and slender. Her mother Joyceln is a red-headed too.... can't say more. Jace...... do I have to even describe him! The tall gorgeous blond hair dude, with a hot body and VERY sarcastic! and lovingly annoying. Alec, oh Alec my beautiful Alec the black haired- blued eyed guy who is always angry and always focused on taking care of Jace and his sister Isabelle. Isabelle, a self centered bitch, a good one don't worry. She is also a black haired girl with blue eyes and loves her whip ;) she is a very ummm I don't know, straight forward, OH a slut! you will know after reading. ( But seriously I like Isabelle she gets even more awesome as the books go on!) Simon! how can I forget him! Tall, dark hair, brown-eyed guy, who wears glasses, is best friends with Clary since Childhood, plays in a band and trying to figure out a name for the band (hahaha) he is just like Jace, but a bit leaner and he is a little less courage's than Jace, but he at some point in the book gets courageous. umm Luke *sigh* can't say much about him except he is a close friend of Joyceln and Clary.... oh I can't say much! I can't talk about many people. That's all I can say OH AND MAGNUS! MAGNUS BANE! YOU WILL LOVE HIM! such an awesome warlock! He actually is too awesome!
The world Clary thinks she lives in is not what she thinks.... Just under everyones noses there is a world with werewolves, vampires, faeries, demons etc and Shadow hunters. They are people who try and protect the world from demons or any supernatural beings from exposure or killings. But everything is changed after Clary meets Jace at the Club, and his two partners, Alec and Isabelle. They are three Shadow hunters and they use symbols on their body to hide from people, to get healed, or to see at night, pretty much the symbols drawn on their body with their Style. People born with angel blood in them have the vision to see through their disguises and Clary is one of that people who can see them, this rises question weather is has shadow hunter blood in her or if she has meet a supernatural. But within the shadow hunter world and evil force is rising, the same force which destroyed it before. Clary is stuck in the middle of it, as her mother is kidnapped and her friend Luke is hiding something from her and without knowing her best friend is also dragged into it, but only to find out that it involved Clary's life. oooooo I have goose bumps! I can't say much, even though I did already, but I don't know, IT'S JUST REALLY GOOD! READ THE BOOK! ...more

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. That's when she meets Jace, who is incredibly sexy and knows it. Jace and his friends are shadowhunters and are sworn to protect the human world from evil like demons, and other downworlders like rouge vampires and werewolves. Then Clary's mother disappears and th ...more

I really loved this book. I thought that it was a very original story, and the author did a good job of really making the Shadowhunters seem like their own type of magical creature—from the way they looked to the weapons they used. (view spoiler) I thought that the author ...more
