The Mortal Instruments

Lost without the Twilight Saga?

We understand. There’s a huge gaping hole in your reading schedule that you don’t know how to fill. What comes next now that there are no more Twilight books? Don’t worry there are plenty of other series that will pull you in just as fast!

The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare is just what you need.

City of Bones introduces us to Clary. She always thought she was normal… or at least as normal as a 15 year old artist and geek can be. At least that is until she tries to stop a murder in a trendy New York Club committed by people only she can see. Invisible people= not normal! Things get even stranger when Clary’s mother goes missing, and Clary is dragged headlong into a world she never bothered to imagine was real by a boy beyond any she has met before. Fallen angels, demons, vampires, fairies and werewolves surround her, but no one else can see them for what they really are. Clary must choose between the life she had with the boy who has always loved her or the exciting tattooed strangers who can help her solve the mystery of her past.

Clare weaves a beautiful and exciting story full of adventure, danger, fantasy and love that leaves the reader begging for the next book. Do yourself a favor and order the sequels City of Ashes and City of Glass before you take City of Bones home!
