I seem to be in a young adult phase or something. Sometimes that just happens. I get into a reading genre groove. Be it mysteries, or Nordic crime, or fluffy romances, or young adult or non-fiction. You just get into a genre and stay there until you need to move on.
With the warm weather I am so excited to read out in the yard. I am also less inclined to do my spring cleaning. Clean or read? Hmm... I think we all know the answer to that one.
Synopsis
This is book one in a series called The Mortal Instruments. Clary is an ordinary New York girl. When she goes to a teen club one night and witnesses a murder, where the body disappears she is thrown into a world of demons, werewolves, vampires and shadow hunters. When her mother goes missing the next day Clary has to quickly learn how to navigate this new world in order to save her mom, and possibly the world as well.
My Thoughts
This was a fun book. When I read it was about demons and demon hunters I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. I don't want gruesome creepy. This book reminded me of the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There were demons which were cool, demon hunters who were kind of quirky and people who didn't take themselves to seriously. Clare wrote some pretty fun banter between Clary and Jace. The characters seemed like normal teenagers, not the super grown up ones that seem to plague young adult literature. Clary was great. She had the same insecurities as most teenage girls yet when push comes to shove, she was ready for action and had a heart of gold.
I think the quote on the cover sums up this book perfectly, "funny, dark and sexy". Not sexy in a raunchy way but in a romantic, that guy seems hot kind of way. This is a great book for your teen. It is action packed but funny. What more could you ask for.
Have a great Easter!
