Junebook 12: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

This is the first book in the Mortal Instruments series which has a total of 6 books.

This is a fantasy series but it is set in the modern world. There are beings called Shadowhunters, who have angel blood in them, which make them stronger and faster than a normal human being. They can also see the demons that wander about the world and it is the Shadowhunters' job to kill these monsters and keep humans safe.

Clary, the female lead, realizes that she is a Shadowhunter in the first novel and the rest of the series follows her training and her adventures in the Shadowhunter world. She faces many demons and learns the truth about her past and her family heritage. And she does fall in love along the way, which leads to even more complications.

It is an intriguing book, probably suited for girls because the romance does play a big role in the story line. However, there is a lot of action and strange creatures, along with witches, warlocks, angels, demons and more.

The other books in the series, in order: City of Ashes, City of Glass, City of Fallen Angels, City of Lost Souls, and City of Heavenly Fire.
