by Cassandra Clare

If you want to skip this and just read the summary just scroll to the bottom, I took quite a lot of time writing this!

"The Mortal Instruments series is a story world that I love to live in. I hate to see the story end, but if it has to end, then City of Glass is the most perfect way for that to happen. Beautiful!"

– Stephenie Meyer, internationally bestselling author of TWILIGHT-

-and it is also alike Twilight; hot main guy: named Jace Wayland ; the perspective of a teenage girl: Clary Fray 15 years old ; and it includes vampires and werewolves ; and yeat another secret;.


"Clare's atmospheric setting is spot-on, informed equally by neo-gothic horror films and the modern fantasy leanings of Neil Gaiman. Werewolves, vampires, angels and fairies all fit in this ambitious milieu. At the core, though, this is a compelling story about family secrets and coming-of-age identity crises. Fans of the smart/chic horror typified by Buffy the Vampire Slayer will instantly fall for this new series."

- Publishers Weekly


"This urban fantasy series opener spices its fight against evil with sexual tension. Fifteen-year-old geek hipster Clary thought she was just a normal kid, but normal kids don't see invisible people, and normal kids' mothers don't suddenly disappear, seemingly captured by horrific monsters. But like many fantasy heroines, Clary isn't normal, and she's got all the secret parentage, dramatic revelations, and amazing magic powers to prove it....The story's sensual flavor comes from the wealth of detail: demons with facial piercings, diners serving locusts and honey, pretty gay warlocks, and cameo appearances from other urban fantasies' characters....Lush and fun."

- Kirkus Reviews



"New York is the city that never sleeps, but evil spirits, angels, warlocks, faeries, and shadowhunters don't need much rest anyway. The city is home to Cassandra Clare's young-adult debut novel City of Bones, a cool, pleasingly dark and spicy urban fantasy. Clare has experienced New York City as 'a place of dark enchantment: cavernous, shadowy and full of secrets, from its huge Gothic cathedrals to its ruined cemetaries to the tiny hidden angels in Central Park. I tried to bring out that sense of urban mystery,' she says—and what a success. The book's sharply drawn combination of comedy, love and drama features a hip 15-year-old girl and a demon hunter who is nothing if not a mixed blessing. 'I wanted to write a book about the kinds of kids who were like me when I was young,' says the author. 'They're sci-fi and fantasy lovers, they adore anime and television shows with fantastical elements, like Heroes and Supernatural. When they find out there's a whole secret world of warlocks and vampires and demon-slayers, their response isn't shock or horror, but, "You know, I always suspected that way the way things were."' The first of a planned trilogy, the story emerges directly from a contemporary world of intense, enveloping conflicts, populated by a cast of contentious misfits, with no easy answers to getting past the misery but the hard slog of pushing on."

- Kirkus (Debut Fiction Special Issue)



"This fast-paced fantastic thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats. It includes everything from werewolves and mind-sucking librarians to vampires and a brother unknowingly kissing his sister—just what teenagers love to read. Clary is an independent, saucy female character who adapts to her newfound powers easily and thinks nothing of throwing a weapon at a werewolf."

- VOYA



"City of Bones is a highly readable first novel, refreshingly free of the attitudes that make some YA fiction for non-adults only...City of Bones skillfully evades the tedium of YA clichés and 'Mary Sue' fiction through a combination of wit, imagination, and a sense of place—including the massive presence of New York itself.

"Clary's adventures take her to the unearthly City of Bones and encounters with the Silent Brothers, granting her tantalizing bits of knowledge about Downworlders, the history of angels, the Mortal Instruments whose involvement makes this tale the start of a longer quest, and—of course—herself. Mixing light and dark, teen banter with Miltonian citations, Cassandra Clare manages to make the whole thing work and left me looking forward to the next adventure."

- Locus



"Readers looking to the future will note that Clary succesfully harnesses her rediscovered supernatural powers and and forms several new, intense friendships, that she will desperately need as she tries to save her still-comatose mother, discover her own complex and often dark familial roots, and determine her destiny, both in the magical world and in her own everyday life. Indeed, with the strong plot, brilliant heroine, and surrounding cast of intriguing and well-developed side characters (including the sexy and tortured Jace), fantasy buffs will be eagerly anticipating the next volume."

- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books



"This novel is so much fun to read! Fast-paced, funny, dark, and exciting. Clare has dipped her pen in the deep resources of fairy lore and epic tales, and has her ear well tuned to the teenage voice. The plot is tight, twisting, and full of surprises. City of Bones is the first of a series—The Mortal Instruments—and it promises great things to come."

- Endicott Journal for the Mythic Arts



"City of Bones is that ever-so-rare rare creature these days—well-crafted YA fiction where at least some of the teenagers are both likable and believable....Before this novel reaches its ending point, Clary will get used to sexy teen-aged boys covered in tattoos, really cool flying motorcycles powered by things best not thought about, awesomely cool weapons, werewolves who are allies in the Shadowhunters' war, vampires who most decidedly are not friendly, flirtations with being in love, lessons about the dangers of finding out what you didn't know, and much more. It this a fast-paced novel? Yes indeed. Is it a good set-up for the next two novels in the series? Quite so. And quite original as well."

- Greenmanreview.com



"Cassandra Clare's much-anticipated first young adult novel makes an excellent story for audio. Clare excels at creating stories with lots of fast-moving action and, even more impressively, fast-paced dialogue which is alternately funny and poignant. Clary's struggle to learn to see beyond the glamour that prevents her from perceiving Jace and the world of dark magic around her is paralleled by her struggle to see beyond her blindness to the true nature of the people close to her, the people she loves and struggles to protect.

"I'm already anticipating the next book in the Mortal Instruments series, and I fully expect that City of Bones will be the hottest YA fantasy novel of the summer."

- Greenmanreview.com (review of audio edition)


"This debut novel from a brilliant, smart new voice in Young Adult literature is a marvelous adventure, full of fantastic twists and turns just when they're least expected. The complexity of the story, the threads from the past and present intertwined, is reminiscent of the Harry Potter series—and that's high praise! The captivating story told by the very talented Cassandra Clare in City of Bones is surely the start of a brilliant series—I can't wait for the next Mortal Instruments book. This fantasy is truly unforgettable."

- TeensReadToo.com


"A non-stop action novel that blends magic with humor, romance with vengeance, resulting in an irresistable labyrinthine tale of rich and (seemingly) infinite subplots. Characters switch sides, then switch again, and points of view get skewed partway through, leaving the reader wondering just what the true story is and who Clary should trust. Motorcycle vampire gangs, a hard-partying Warlock, and street-packs of werewolves—not to mention some horrific creatures all Clare's own invention—find their way into the story, bringing both aid and hindrance. Weaving elements of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural with Holly Black's modern faery stories, the author has crafted a new classic of contemporary fantasy that is going to have readers tearing up the Internet with discussion, and has raised the bar for other writers in the genre."

- The-Trades.com


"There are many names out there producing some great fairy adventure at the moment. A new name has joined the ranks—Cassandra Clare. There are many things to love about City of Bones, including a cat by the name of Chairman Meow. The adventure can only get better as this trilogy progresses and I, for one, will be waiting eagerly for the next installment."

- Blogcritics.org



"This book was an incredibly enjoyable surprise. In this world, 'all the stories are true.' Meaning, the stories about werewolves, vampires, and other things that go bump in the night are all real. With smart-aleck, teenage characters, scary adults, and even scarier bad guys; you never know when the next twist in the story will be revealed. ... With intense action scenes, big mysteries, amusing characters, and a little teenage angst; this book should be a lot of fun for teens and adults alike."

- scifichick.com



"The story of an underground world of demon hunters is appealing and unique. If you like theatrical, fey dialogue, a little humor with your action and many references to familiar fantasy stories, then City of Bones—and the subsequent installments in this new series—may be the perfect fit for you."

- teenbookreviews.com


"Cassie's writing makes my toes curl with envy. She is the rare writer who can write fast-paced dramatic fantasy with gorgeous language and memorable characters that you grow to love and worry about, as well as really funny bits that will make you honestly laugh and remember them and repeat them to your friends. It is rare to find someone who can do any one of those things well; to find someone who can do them all is just dangerous."

- Holly Black, author of Tithe and Valiant


"City of Bones has everything: vampires, werewolves, faeries, true love, and stuff that blows up. What's more, Clare's characters are brilliant—she'd better not kill any of them off in the next two volumes!"

- Justine Larbalestier, author of Magic or Madness


"It's vampires versus werewolves in Harlem, while sexy demon hunters prowl through downtown clubs and Brooklyn coffeehouses—City of Bones is epic urban fantasy at its demented, delightful best. Cassandra Clare is a genius."

- Kelly Link, author of Magic For Beginners


"Dagger-sharp, funky, and cool, Cassandra Clare's City of Bones is among the best of the post-Buffy monster hunter sagas. It's a blast."

- Christopher Golden, author of The Myth Hunters


"The first book in the Mortal Instruments series, City of Bones, instigates an enormous urban fantasy that pulls out all the stops. Embracing the young adult urban fantasy genre with gusto, this is a story that's setting up something huge. Hell, this is only Book One and it's almost 500 pages long, so it ain't for wimps and it's definitely a sprawler; but Clare has a death grip on her POV protagonist and she keeps the reins held tight. It's definitely a first volume—which is to say that there's a lot of set-up for only a partial pay-off, but I'm 100% game to see where the series goes from here. It's chock-full of exactly the skillful writing you'd expect from Cassandra Clare, so it's funny and frightening, fast and oddly effortless. I can't believe how quickly the 500 pages flew by."

- Cherie Priest, author of Four and Twenty Blackbirds


The series is very good. Please do not be rude but... I think it is ALMOST better then the Twilight series. And do not be little babies and say stuff like "Nothing is better than twilight - how could anything beat Twilight - edward is still hotter" okay?? Edward and Jacob both argue and call each other childish names (yet it is still funny) just like Jace and Simon do in the City of Bones (the first book the series: The Mortal Instruments).

I REALLY SUGGEST YOU READ THE BOOK CITY OF BONES BY CASSANDRA CLARE!! HERE IS THE SUMMARY...

A thousand years ago, the Angel Raziel mixed his blood with the blood of men and created the race of the Nephilim. Human-angel hybrids, they walk among us, unseen but ever-present, our invisible protectors.

They call themselves Shadowhunters.

The Shadowhunters obey the laws set down in the Gray Book, given to them by the angel: their mandate is to protect our world from the interdimensional parasites they call demons, who travel from world to world, razing and destroying everything in their path. Theirs is also the task of keeping the peace among the warring Downworlders: the human-demon crossbreeds we know as warlocks, vampires, werewolves, and faeries.

In their duties they are aided by the mysterious Silent Brothers. Their lips and eyes sewn shut, the Silent Brothers rule over the City of Bones, the necropolis below the streets of Manhattan that holds the dead bodies of slain Shadowhunters. The Silent Brothers keep the archival records of ever Shadowhunter ever born. They also watch over the Mortal Instruments, the three divine objects the Angel Raziel gave to his children. One is a sword. One is a mirror. And the last is a cup.

For a thousand years, the Nephilim have protected the Mortal Instruments. But that was before the Uprising, the civil war that almost tore the Shadowhunters' secret world apart. Though Valentine, the Shadowhunter who started the war, is long dead, the wounds it left behind have never healed.

Fifteen years have passed since the Uprising. It's August in New York; the streets blistering with heat. Rumors run rampant through Downworld that Valentine is back, at the head of an army of Forsaken warriors.

And the Mortal Cup has gone missing...

“Hey, Edward, can we sit next to you?”, I asked.
“Sure, sit here”, said Edward. I sat down next to Alice but Edward stopped me.

Me and Renesme were having fun at scrabble she was so smart it was
amazing. Luckily Edward and Bella walked through the door and that
ended our game. Although Renesme said "she wasn't going to let me forget
that she beat me at scrabble". Bella told me that "Esme and Carlisle
would like to see me at the house" so I told "Renesme that I would be
back later to play with her some more".

When I reached the house Carlisle and Esme were waiting for me in the
living I was scared that they were going to tell me that something was
wrong or that I was going to have to leave. Carlisle started...

didn't tell them that I was in the coast guard cause I new that they
would call Senior Chief and tell him that I'm in the hospital and that
would lead to being kicked out. So I got x-rays and they told me nothing serious happened that it was just cracked so they could bandage my ribs up tight to keep it from hurting as bad.


When I got back to the base it was time to get up so we got in bed

Los 40 Principales magazine, in their edition for Spain, interviewed Rob in the month of February:

Move over Zac Efron…Have you met the High School Musical star?
We met at an awards show. He’s the new face of success. But he’s all the opposite of what I thought he would be. He’s so honest and down to earth. You’d think he’s so prepared for the press, but he’s not.

What do fans say about you when they meet you in person?
They are increadibly opinionated. They have very clear ideas as to how I should live my life. Who knew 15 years old could be so moralistic?

Sleeping wasn't an issue.
Eating was an issue.
Personal hygiene wasn't an issue.

I was what I was. I was a "vampire" as they had called it. I tried not to talk, I tried to prevent anything that involved my throat. They took me hunting, but it didn't satisfy me. They told me that I was to be careful, that after a few months of snacking on animals, my eyes would slowly turn topaz and my cravings for human blood would cease.
I was still wearing the dress, it was awfully pretty. The girl Alice kept bouncing, making plans for the future. Our conversations normally ended up in glamor or something to...

Midnight Sun was an expected companion novel to the book Twilight by author Stephenie Meyer. It would be a retelling of the events of Twilight from the perspective of Edward Cullen as opposed to that of Bella Swan. Meyer has stated that Twilight is the only possible book from the series that she plans to rewrite from Edward's perspective. To give them a better feel of Edward's character, Meyer allowed Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the film adaptation of Twilight, and Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays Edward, to read some completed chapters of the novel while they filmed the movie....

It had been a couple of years, Nessie was about 6 years old now, in reality but mentally she was about 10 to 11 maybe? I wasn’t really sure, she acted like she was 15, but that’s just the way it was.

It was morning already? It seemed like that night went by fast, usually it drags on forever, because being a Vampire and all, you don’t really “need” to sleep, but you can, if you must for some reason, but I usually just laid back in bed and closed my eyes, and tried to...

Wow. He’s gorgeous!” Lydia gasped as she spotted my Jacob walk around the corner. “And he’s walking towards us? He’s smiling at you?! Do you know him?” She asked in her high pitched voice. That’s what I love about her. She’s always happy.
“Yeah, he’s my best friend.... as well as you obviously!” I added as she began to look hurt. I had to agree with her about Jacob.

I'm impressed with Bella's skills. She's a better actress. Once I helped everyone left, me included, everyone started yelling at me for letting Bella stay there. I sighed.

For those of you who don't know me, or have never read my fanfictions, I'm renesmeblack. I write a story from Renesmee, Jacob, Mine, and occasionally Emmett's POV. Now, I have a ton of bad ideas, and some of the things you read from me are crash tests. Thankfully, many of my readers enjoy my fanfictions. The dummy is saved!
My stories are for girls who can't stop reading the books. It's for girls who'd pester Stephenie Meyer to write a sequel, if they had a chance! I love Jacob, so that's another reason why girls read my, frankly, ameteur (hope I spelled that right!) writing. You wanna know the best part?
Okay, here goes nothing.
IT NEVER ENDS!!!
There. I feel better now. Yup, you read correctly. It'll never end until I grow out of the Twilight Stage (like that'll happen.).
For the very few fans I have, thanks for the support and I'll see you in the reading section!
