How many of you have read this series? Are you excited for the movie coming out August 21st? I came in a little late on this series. All year students were telling my I should read it. I thought the premise sounded interesting, but I didn't get a chance to read it until this summer. I couldn't put it down. I read the first book in a day and a half.
If you haven't read it, here's the description from Amazon.
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . . .
I thought the book was fast-paced and exciting. I also thought the characters were well-developed. I was sad when in ended. I was at Costco Monday, and they had the whole series. I bought the second and third book. I can't wait to see the movie. August is looking good with both this movie and Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters coming out.
