City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

 

This is the third book in the mortal instruments series. This was a page turner. 

Clary was needing to go to Alicante with Jace, Isabelle, Alec and everyone else that was going. Magnus was making the portal for everyone to go through. But, Jace didn't want Clary to go. Even though that she needed the potion to bring her mom back. She's been at the hospital for quite awhile. Jace thought it wasn't worth her coming with and he asked Simon to come to the institute to talk. Jace wanted Simon to tell Clary that she was to stay and Simon knew that wasn't going to go over will.

The next thing, Demons started to show up.  Simon wasn't prepared for what was going to happen and getting perry badly hurt. Jace has no choice but, to bring Simon through the portal to save his life. 

Luke was helping clary pack and get ready to go. At first he wasn't sure he wanted her to go. She had found out that they had already left and had been attacked by demons. Now, she needed to create her own way there. She knew she could create her own runes. So, she did and in the process, Luke ended up going with. The landed in a lake, when they go to the other side. She almost drowned, tell Luke saved her. But, now she was poisoned. He said that he knew someone that could save her but, she was going to see things and hear things tell they do. 

Amatis is Lukes sister and very good with herbs. When they showed up at her house, first she almost didn't let them in. Then, she did. Luke took Clary up to bed while his sister made what she needed to bring up to Clary to drink. 

Simon is a vampire and he can walk in the sunshine. The head of the vampires doesn't think it's a great idea him being able to do that. Alec, told Simon that the clave had a portal to send him back to New York. But, when they got up there, he ended up being imprisoned by them. He was getting a little weak from not eating and didn't know what was going to happen to him. 

In the cell next to him, was a guy that started talking to him. Told him, that he's been there awhile. He also knows that they will not let him go unless he tells the clave a lie ot two. Which Simon will never do. 

Clary meets Sebastian and right off the bat, there was something not quite right about him.

Well, I'm going to leave that there. If you haven't read the book yet. You will have to read it to find out how it ends. I'll just say this. I didn't expect what happens to happen. It was differently a page turner.  

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

This is book two of the mortal instruments series. I will say that this was a great read for me. 

Clary is back with her friend Simon. Jace, Alex and Isabelle are at the church they use as a shadowhunters head quarters in New York city. Clary has been staying with Luke after her mom has been in a coma of a sorts. 

Maryse is in the library when Jace walks in on her. She begins to question him about what has been going on. Each time he answers she doesn't believe him. They aren't going to see things the same way and Jace always has this attitude about pretty much everything. Then, when Valentine is brought up he becomes a little diffensive. She pretty much asks him to leave.

The Inquisitor is coming and she has  a problem with Jace. She wants to question him concerning his father which is Valentine. I'll just say this, it doesn't go will over will with him and she decides to lock him up. But, before that happens, Jace has gone to see his father. Because of what he knows. 

His father has killed all the soul brother for the sword they have. He wants to bring a very large amount of demons to take out the clave. The clave is what creates the laws for all the shadowhunters. That isn't going will for Jace because he will never join his father in any way. 

The Inquisitor ends up using special swords to lock up Jace. As will as a magic pair of handcuffs. Her idea is to trade him for the two special things that Valentine has. Jace tries to tell the Inquisitor that Valentine will never do that. Because of her hatefullness towards Valentine she isn't listening to him. 

Things are only going to get worse and it does. 

You'll have to read the book to see what happens and how it ends. I'm not going to spoil it for you. I'll just say this, I really wait to pick up the next one. Remember to pick of a good book, you never know what you might enjoy. 

I'm off to start my next book. 

 

City of bones by Cassandra Clare

This is the first book in the mortal instruments series. Clary and Simon get into a club in town. Their plan is to dance and have fun. But Clary's life is about to change like she hasn't known before. The club that they were in had some strange looking people that come to it. She'd been watching this boy with blue hair for a little while. He then noticed a girl all in white. She was quite stunning. Clary moved through the crowd. Simon told her he was going to go get something to drink. Clary's attention was some where else. She followed the boy and he was heading straight over to where the girl was heading.

Clary noticed that the girl wasn't alone there were two guys with her. She could see everything that was going on. What she didn't expect was what was going to happen next. The guy with the blond hair used some kind of sword and killed the boy with the blue hair with it. She screamed and the guy looked right at her. Simon had then, found her and asked her what was going on. She told Simon. After Simon got the guard and they didn't find anything, they left. Clary and Simon caught a cab back to her house.

The next morning her mom was a little upset with her. She wanted to speak with her. Luke was there because they brought in art supplies. Simon had called Clary to say he was heading over there and was wondering about going to see his friends poetry reading at the coffee house. She was just about to walk out the door when her mom asked if she'd not go. Just then, the door opened and Simon walked in, scaring her mom to death.

She left with Simon, not thinking that this would be the last time she would see her mom in awhile. At the coffee house she saw that guy she saw at the club, the one that killed that boy. She was so bothered by what she had seen that she left the coffee house to speak to him.

He was a little rude and ached like he didn't seem to care about what she was wanting to know. He just kept saying that there were things she just didn't want to know about. Clary told him that she could see everything that happened.

Clary found out what demons were because one tried to kill her. She found out that there were shadowhunters that killed demons to protect the humans that lived in this world. She found out so many things that it could have been more then she could have taken. But she dealt with things one thing at a time.

She meets Alec and Isabelle. Finds out the boys name is Jace. Meets Hodge's who runs the place they were staying at. Finds out about Valetine and that he wants the mortal cup. By the end of the book you learn that Valentine is Clary's dad and Jace's dad. Which means they are brother and sister.

But over all, I don't want to give to much away because you will have to get the book and read it.
And by the way, they did make it into a movie but, I'll say this, the book isn't anything like the movie. They also made a series for television. I've always figured that books are better then movie and this one meets that greatly.
