Today I am reading a new series,
The Mortal Instruments, by Cassandra Clare. I am a couple chapters into the second book in the series,
City of Ashes, and I just started it this morning. Thanks to fellow mommy's group member, Courtney, for introducing me to this series!
What is it?
The Mortal Instruments is a young adult series consisting of six books. The first five books are out but the last one will not be out until early 2014. Here is a list of the books and the order they were written:
City of Bones
City of Ashes
City of Glass
City of Fallen Angels
City of Lost Souls
City of Heavenly Fire
What are they about?
City of Bones introduces Clary Fray, a seemingly normal teenager living in Brooklyn. While out at a club one night she witnesses three teens murder someone. However, she is the only person who can see the murderers. Clary starts to realize that that is not the only strange thing going on when the body disappears and there is no evidence left behind. This one unexpected event launches Clary into a world filled with demons and those that hunt them, the Shadowhunters.
What I thought:
If you liked
Harry Potter and other similar books than you will love this series. It has all the action, romance and danger that
Twilight has but without all the awkward moments and it's better written. So far, I am really liking this series and it is hard for a book to grab my attention lately. So, if you have the time, grab a cup of coffee or tea and curl up with these books!
