Book Review: The Mortal Instruments - City of Bones

Hi Guys,

It's Holly here, I am reviewing a book called 'City of Bones', which is the first  in a series of of the 5 'Mortal Instruments' books, written by Cassandra Clare. The books were so popular that Clare has written a prequel trilogy, The Infernal Devices, and a sequel trilogy, The Dark Artifices. I bought this book after the series was  recommended to me by a friend, she said the books were amazing so I thought I would try them out, I thoroughly enjoyed City of Bones and can't wait to read the next book!


'Clary Fray is seeing things: vampires in Brooklyn and werewolves in Manhattan. Irresistibly drawn towards a group of sexy demon hunters, Clary encounters the dark side of New York City - and the dangers of forbidden love'  
'Sixteen-year-old Clary Fray is an ordinary teenager, who likes hanging out in Brooklyn with her friends. But everything changes the night she witnesses a murder, committed by a group of teens armed with medieval weaponry. The murderous group are Shadowhunters, secret warriors dedicated to driving demons out of this dimension and back into their own. Drawn inexorably into a terrifying world, Clary slowly begins to learn the truth about her family - and the battle for the fate of the world.'


The City of Bones has been made into a film, starring Lily Collins as Clary, and Jamie Campbell Bower as mysterious demon hunter Jace. It is to be released on 21st August 2013, so there is not much longer to wait! I am very excited for the release of the film, as in the trailer it seems to me as though this film is going to do the book justice. Whether you watch the film or read the book, this story is not one to be missed and of corse there is that twist at the end to look forward to... 






Want to buy the book it is available on Amazon and is also for sale in Waterstones, both at just £5.99.

Love Holly & Daisy x
