“Clary Fray is a Shadowhunter — a member of a secret society of demon hunters. Take that fraught premise and toss in some vampires, werewolves, warlocks, faeries, and a teenage love triangle, and you’ve got the general idea. With a movie version of the series in the works, now’s the time to jump on the bandwagon. Start with City of Bones and prepare to be hooked!” — Entertainment Weekly
TITLE: City of Bones
SYNOPSIS (FOR THE BOOK): When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder — much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing — not even a smear of blood — to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . . .
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare’s ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.
I can’t wait for the movie to come out! When I first learned that they were making a movie from the book, which I enjoyed reading very much, I jumped out of my chair and started to scream my head off. I only hope they don’t mess up this movie (the possibility of that happening is very slim – I hear Cassie spends a lot of time on the set.) I can’t wait to see the movie! What are your thoughts on the trailer? Do you think the movie will live up to it’s expectations?
I’m not looking forward to the movie. I love the Mortal Instruments books, but I don’t like the guy who plays Jace that much! I have a feeling that this movie won’t turn out as well as the books.
I have to agree with you about that. I just hope it doesn’t turn out too bad.
