by Cassandra Clare One night Clary witnesses a murder, and the next her mother disappears. All at once her world is turned upside down as she discovers she's a Shadowhunter, which means she's able to see and kill demons. She's got to find her mother, and the Mortal Cup, a magical item that can turn humans into Shadowhunters, and only her mother knows where that is. There's also a pretty intense (and somewhat creepy) love triangle going on. The magical, arrogant, Jace, who does little but insult her, and her very sweet, very human friend Simon, both hoping to win Clary's heart.
This is an epic tale, with pretty much every magical creature you can think of thrown into the mix. The Mortal Instruments series has a very devoted following, and lots of people love it. I just don't happen to be one of them. Maybe I'm just over supernatural romances right now, so if you're not, give it a try!
This series is one of the best fantasy series ever, in my opinion. It has every aspect of fantasy you can think of but it is also involves regular run of the mill teenagers we can all relate to. The story line is great and the characters are wonderful :). It's also becoming a movie with Alex Pettyfer (Alex Rider in Stormbreaker, Kyle Kingsley in Beastly) as Jace and Lily Collins (Karen in Abduction, Collins in the Blind Side) as Clary.
