Brief Description: Clary Fray thought she was a normal girl until she discovered by chance (actually by a blond hot guy) that she was a shadowhunter. Shadowhunters are creatures half angel, half human that fight demons. Now that Clary has been dragged into this world of vampires,werewolves... and due to the fact that her mother has been kidnapped by a group of evil shadowhunters, she will have to trust this weird new friends in order to save everyone she loves.

Valoration: I absolutely loved it, although the story may sound quite cliché it's actually unique. Like, how many times had you heard the word shadowhunter before I told you this? The book hooked me up from the start and surprised me until the very end (literally). Even though it's just the first book of the saga, the characters already have complex personalities and great story lines. I really liked both Jace's and Izzy's character. 😍 Some people say it is quite poor in comparison with other Cassandra Clare's book and I have to say that this is kinda true but I completely understand it since it was like her first famous book. However, I still enjoy it every time I reread it. I don't give it five stars because I think it's not a masterpiece but it has a special meaning to me since it was thanks to this book that I got to know The Shadowhunters Chronicles.

** There's also a movie based on this book (it's called City of Bones too) but to be honest, it's awful comparing it to the book. (I still rewatch it sometimes though😅). There is also a show kinda based on the TMI saga. (I mean the characters are the same but the plot is quite different.) which I think it's much better than the movie.
