description
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.

You're more than welcome to reread it with us if you would like.

Jessie | 239 comments I've added everyone to the Participants list and updated the reading schedule. The assigned chapters for each day have been posted above for the first four books in the series. The fifth book will be posted later this week. And lastly, to clear up any confusion that there may be, the Mortal Instruments series read is expected to end during the 2nd week of November.

Thank you!

Jessie | 239 comments The Mortal Instruments series read is now closed to new participants. Thank you to everyone who signed up! I certainly wasn't expecting that many people to jump at the opportunity to read the series. Let's get reading!


message 12: by Jessie (new)

Jessie | 239 comments Due to the large number of PMs I have received about shortening the assigned reading for each day, I have altered the reading schedule. Understandably, many of our participants are over-scheduled with school/work and found it challenging to keep up with the reading. Therefore, I have redesigned the reading schedule in my initial post. We will now be reading approximately 35-50 pages per day.
Thank you!

Jessie | 239 comments I've updated the Reading Schedule and placed short breaks between each book.


message 15: by Jessie (new)

Jessie | 239 comments So I take it that everyone's enjoying the series so far (particularly Grace)?


message 16: by Mpiggy (new)

Mpiggy But still, you have to admit, the books are great, don't you think? I love her writing and descriptions and all that!


message 17: by Kate (new)

Kate ✨ is a dreamer I think Alec does kill a demon later on, that is weird but in a way I don't think It is. I think Jace did all the killing & they never had 2.
