In the beginning of the book Clary's mother goes missing and she finds out she is a shadowhunter. Throughout the book she falls for Jace, who is also a shadowhunter and becomes friend with his siblings, Isabelle and Alec. This book also takes place in a world where vampires, werewolves, faeries, demons, warlocks and shadowhunters live secretly among humans.
I loved the setting of the book. I think it was perfect because New York is the one place where anything can happen and theres so many people, it's the perfect place where a secret world would live. I love the characters, too. I love how they all have different personalities and how they all have the same purpose, which is to kill demons.
I liked it because it was a perfect balance of everything. It was funny, intense, sad, mysterious, with a side of realistic problems that any teen can relate to.

This book was wonderful maybe even better than Twilight but it was ruined by Jace being Clary's brother when they were deeply in love.It was like finding out that Edward and Bella from Twilight were related and couldn't be together.But overall a great book.

Okay, so when i started the first book it was a good thing that i already had bought the other two books of this series because i didn't stop reading this book until i was finished with the third book. then i went on the internet looking for ideas of what book to read next because this book made me want to keep on reading even when it was over.
The story starts out about a girl named clary who has lived an ordinary life up until a day that she witnesses a demon being killed that she shouldn't even be able to see, much less those who killed it. then the next night after witnessing the murder there is an attack that leaves her mother missing and she comes to an institute with the guy who murdered the demon and begins to learn many things about herself that her mother hid from her.
i don't want to give away too much but this book starts an eventful and addicting series. i would recommend this book to those who like science fiction and fantasy books like harry potter and such. there is even a slight romance mixed into the novel that isn't too overpowering for guys, but might keep a girls attention if she isn't into the fantasy part that much.
Read it!

this was an aweosme book. clare has out done her self this time and this is a masterpiece!!!! i never even thought of downworlders and goblins and gouls. only vamps and werewolfs because of twilight. i love twilight and for a while i have been very interested in vamps but it got hard to read vamp books after twilight because everything explained them differently which is fine but once you have read these books you'll understand my concept. anyway this book is amazing iand i cant wait to go get the sequal city of ashes!!!!!
