Publisher's summary

Clary Fray is seeing things: vampires in Brooklyn and werewolves in Manhattan. Irresistably drawn towards a group of sexy demon hunters, Clary encounters the dark side of New York City - and the dangers of forbidden love.

Critic reviews

"The Mortal Instruments series is a story world I love to live in. Beautiful." (Stephanie Meyer)
"The story's sensual flavor comes from the wealth of detail: demons with facial piercings, diners serving locusts and honey, pretty gay warlocks, and cameo appearances from other urban fantasies' characters....Lush and fun." ( Kirkus Review)

Harry Potter meets Twilight

The more I listened to this the more I had flashbacks to story elements from Harry Potter and Twilight.
I feel like the author has taken the plot elements from both those series and melded them together to make this series.

I think I would have been happier if the Twilight element had been left out.
I was over the teen angst angle about half way through.

Having said that ... if you liked Harry Potter and Twilight, this is the series for you !!
