Book Review

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Carissa Fray was just a normal 15 year old teenager. She was an only child and lived with her mother in an apartment in New York. A usual day for Clary was going to school, and hanging out with her best friend Simon. This was until one night when she returns home from hanging out at a club with Simon and finds her mother missing, but this not the only surprise waiting for her when she gets home that night. After discovering that something is seriously wrong she begins to search every inch of the house in hopes that she was wrong and her mother is there somewhere. But she’s not and soon Clary is face to face with the scariest creature that she has ever seen in her life and is forced to fight for her life.

She wakes up three days later in a strange, with no home to go back to, and the one last person closest to family never wants to see her again. No she is forced to live with a group of people that she knows nothing about in a whole new world that she never even knew existed. With the aid of her new friends she sets out in search of her mother, and her true identity. Her life will never be the same again.



I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had a unique plot that kept you captivated all the way through, and was well thought out. My favourite part of the book was its characters. They were very well developed and interesting. This made you connect with all of the characters in different ways, making them all unique to themselves. Even the characters that were evil you had to like in some ways, they all added to the whole story.

This was a book full of adventure with all sorts of twists and turns, with a new surprise around everyone. I recommend this book to anyone that loves a book that is full of action and set in a paranormal world, you will be hooked right from the very beginning.
