When Clary Fray witnesses a murder no one else can see, she’s thrust into the hidden world of Shadowhunters—warriors who hunt demons and protect humanity. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, Clary discovers her life—and bloodline—is more connected to this world than she ever imagined.

There are books you enjoy… and then there are books that change you. For me, City of Bones is the latter.
This story kicks off a world so richly built, so full of life, love, and danger, that every reread feels like coming home. The mix of the supernatural with the mundane is effortlessly done, and the pacing keeps you hooked from the first demon attack to the very last twist.
But what truly makes this book shine are the characters. They’re layered, flawed, and beautifully human—even when they’re anything but. Clary’s fierce loyalty, Jace’s sarcastic walls hiding so much pain, Simon’s quiet strength, and every side character with a story of their own… I love them all. They’re not just characters—they’re companions you root for, cry for, and sometimes scream at.
City of Bones is where it all begins—and what a beginning it is. Dark, witty, emotional, and unforgettable. This series will always hold a piece of my heart.

“Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?”
“Unfortunately, Lady of the Haven, my one true love remains myself.”
“At least,” she said, “you don’t have to worry about rejection, Jace Wayland.”
