Cassandra Clare's fantasy book about an alternate world that humans cannot see is an interesting and somewhat exciting read, but not one of my favorites. Clary Fray witnesses a murder at an NYC night club, and as a result, she is pulled into this alternate world.
Although City of Bones is packed with Shadowhunters (demon killers), werewolves, witches, faeries, and vampires, I have never been a big fan of fantasy as a genre. Perhaps this is why I have never read the Harry Potter series. Can I admit that? The book did keep me interested, and I'm sure it's one my students would love, so I would definitely recommend it to them. If I have time down the road, I may pick up the next book in the trilogy.
