Thank goodness it's spring vacation because I've had more than one late night reading session recently. And I have to say that I just couldn't help myself. I picked up City of Bones by Cassandra Clare just over a week ago and since then I have been on a mission to consume every single word she has written. Not an easy task since her books are very popular and can't always be picked up quickly from the local library. But I digress...
Having read Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, I had a pretty good idea what I was getting myself into when I started this series. What I didn't realize is how captivating her tale would be.
Set in modern-day New York the story follows 15-year-old Clary Frey as she discovers something truly amazing about herself. She can see demons...and vampires...and werewolves...and all the other mystical creatures that make up your everyday fairy tale. But discovering the truth about herself holds consequences for her and the people that she loves. Cast into a world of chaos, she must put her trust into a group of Shadowhunters, the warriors that hunt demons, including a brooding and alluring boy named Jace to find the truth and save all that she holds dear.
I loved the first three books of this series (City of Bones, City of Ashes, & City of Glass), and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Cassandra Clare's writing keeps me turning pages late into the night and I'm excited to read the fourth book, City of Fallen Angels when it finally comes in at the library. Plus, I'm already on the waiting list for the fifth installment of the series, City of Lost Souls, due out in May.
If you're looking for a happy distraction these days that is fast paced and gripping with demons, angels and a bit of romance, check this series out. You can find plenty of info about it out there on the web since all of the books have been on the best seller list.
