City of Bones is a thrilling, book that kept me reading at the edge of my seat almost the whole time. Personally i recommend this book to anyone who is into mythical creatures, fighting, and love story's. When Clary the main character sees some mysterious teens kill a strange boy in a club she is freaked out beyond belief, then things get worse as her mother disappears and she is attacked in her apartment, this story was truly one of the best story's i have ever read, and i just finished reading the third book in the trilogy.
