Mortal Instruments by: Cassandra Clare

First of all I've read all three that she has out so far. And for anyone who wants the drama of Twilight with more action and a little less romance this is a great series. She's working on more form what I hear and I can't wait.

The first book is called 'The City of Bones'.

Here we meet Clary Fray the star of this incredible series and her best friend Simon. They start off in a club and that is where she witnesses a murder, one no one else sees. I love this series because it takes a new look at angels and demons. Shadowhunters protect the world of the Mundanes(Humans), vampires and werewolves are simply the progeny of demons breeding with humans. The fairy folk and other mythological creatures from the classic tales we all grew up with are put in a new light.

With Clary's mother kidnapped by demons. Clary finds herself finding out she isn't as normal as she thought and the world she thought she knew was gone. Her friends SImon gets pulled along for the ride and is presented with e new rival for Clary's affection. The newest Hottie on the scene. Jace. Oh he gives Edward Cullen a run for his money. With golden curls dangling in his golden eyes he is by far the best leading man I've read in any series. He's dark and tormented and sexy.

If you read this book be prepared to read them all becuase you won't be able to not know what happens next. I know I couldn't.
