“When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons.

Or was he a boy? This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk.

It is scrape the barrel bare minumum, but you can read my original post for City of Bones here!

I hope it’s sometime this year.
This series holds such a special place in my heart, but my reread reviews aren’t going to be much to look at as I already have something up for each of them, and they’re also not going to be in my little Shadowhunters category at the top of my page as they’re no way in depth, so for now,
Much love,
