Cassadaga Claremont has written a series here about demon slayers who protect the world from evil with their special powers. The Immortal Instruments series is every bit as good as the Harry Potter novels and I recommend it to anyone that enjoyed Harry Potter's world. I am reviewing this series because I thought my granddaughter might enjoy delving into this interesting world.

The book is completely different than the movie that is based on this book but still worth reading. It is a story about young Clary Fairchild that in one day her life is completely turned upside-down. She realizes, she is a daughter of so called shadowhunter. Shadowhunters are "people" that fight with demons to keep people like us (called mundiens) safe. Yes. READ THE BOOK TO KNOW MORE YOU FILTHY ANIMAL!

City of bones, city of ashes, and city of glass are the three mortal instruments books. They are amazing!! I had been reading a lot of vampire books when i started these, and the shadow hunters are a nice break from them. The author really created a whole new hary-potter type (but more sinister) world. It took me just under one week to read all these three books because I could not put them down! I highly recommend them. They were recommended to me by a friend and then I recommended them to another friend... and we all became big fans right away. They are easy reads and every page is filled with action... it never gets boring. Read it!
This is Book 1 of Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series, the book that introduced me to the author. This work caught my attention because of its setting -- MANHATTAN. To me, it was another character, a major player. Manhattan is totally my city, the place I chose to live in when I left my Jewel Box life in my own country. The characters were very engaging, their dialogue entertaining -- like listening to my nephews & nieces argue, discuss, squabble. I'm looking forward to becoming reacquainted with them in subsequent books. I was all the characters, feeling their frustrations, heartaches & triumphs. This story was pure escapism, a perfect melding of reality & fantasy.
I actually can't believe it was earlier than the day it was expected for. I'm so happy that it arrived when it did. I thought that it was going to be bad quality or at least not as good but its perfect and better than what expected. I would totally recommend buying this book to any others trying to go into the shadow world.
