City of Bones, Cassandra Clare

I picked up this book on a recommendation from a friend and I’m glad I did. Clary is a normal girl living in NYC, when one night she thinks she witnesses a murder at a nightclub. She soon discovers that all is not as it seems when she meets three “shadowhunters”  - warriors who are sworn to rid the world of demons. Disbelieving at first, Clary learns it’s all too real and that there is a very real connection between herself, her mother and this world she (and most people) never knew existed. It’s a fun fantasy novel, a quick read, and I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the next two installments in the series.
