City of Bones by Cassandra Clare is the first book in the exciting Mortal Instrument series. Clary thought she was an ordinary teenager until she began to see demons and shadowhunters. Her first experience with these demons and shadowhunters was at a club where she saw three teenagers covered with tattoos torturing a demon who looked like a normal boy. When she saw the boy vanish out of the blue she couldn’t believe her eyes, the three teenagers, Jace, Alec, and Isabelle claim that the boy they had murdered was a demon. Jace then offered Clary to go with them to their institute, but as they were all leaving Clary received a worrying call from her mother and went to her apartment as soon as she can. When she got home she found the apartment trashed and was suddenly attacked by a Ravener demon. She managed to fight it off and kill it, she then with the help of Jace got away from a gang of demons disguised as police men. At the institute where Jace had taken her, Clary was worried about her mom because she wasn’t in the house which meant she was kidnapped. There Clary meets new people, makes new friends and learns new facts about the world of shadowhunters. With the help of Hodge the institute tutor they try to get Clary’s blocked memories from a group of mysterious people called the silent brothers. When the silent brothers fail to get Clary’s memories back, the only clue they saw in her memories was of a name, Magnus Bane, they tell her she has to go find this person who hid her memories away in the first place. So now with the help of her best friend Simon, Jace and other fellow shadowhunters they must retrieve her memory, find out who has kidnapped her mother and find the mortal cup which is one of the three mortal instruments that has been missing for a long time.
