City of bones! Either you love it or loathe it. There is no wiggle room in middle. As to say, I am in the love-the-book side. Why? Because it is different, where reality meets magic. And "Shadowhunters", that's an awesome word/name. 
 I read it when I was just finished obsessing over another fictional character. At first, I thought this would be boring and not up to the mark,just because I didn't like the cover. But never in my life, I was so wrong. 
 Jace was lovely. And Isabelle? I adore her. Clary, marvellous. But I don't know why, I like Alec more than I should. Now, I am living in a city, where vampires and werewolves come out at night to hang out in bars and nephilm roam around killing demons. And now, what I would do, when I see a blue-haired boy getting killed by a Jace-like boy? I will not call the police, I will run up to them like a wild bibliophile girl. If not anything else, I would definitely get a autograph by them. 
 The story was very different from other urban fantasy thingies. The writing, I love it, I literally laughed like a lunatic while people around me donated me a this-girl-is-out-of-mind stare. 
 The story flowed as smoothly as it should. Kept me prepped up all the time. 
 The ending? 
 Whew! Best ending ever in a urban-fantasy-romance. I mean, in a romance, who does make the lovers bro.... 
 (Nearly slipped my tongue)No, no, not so soon, not going to spoil my readers, but the ending was so, so, so different. 
 But, I have hope everything will sort out, I just can't leave Jace sad and longing. I will make the ends meet. Don't worry, Jace, no one can overrule you, I will bring you Clary. 
 Ok, now back to the wheel, Writing? Awesome. Story? Awesome. Characters? Awesome. The mighty trinity of awesomeness. 
 Read it now, if you don't want ruthless vampire, ugly demons and scary Forbidden sneaking up in your apartment. 
 Happy Reading!
