Booktalk #2

Clary is 15 when she discovers that she can see creatures such as vampires, faeries, werewolves, and demons. After a strange encounter at the Pandemonium Club with a tattooed young Shadowhunter named Jace, Clary and her mundane friend, Simon, find that her house has been ransacked and her mother kidnapped. Clary is pulled into the world of the Shadowhunters as they battle to rid the world of demons. She gradually remembers enough to find the Mortal Cup sought by the evil Valentine, and ransom her mother. Fast paced adventures, love, inter-generational conflict, and the battles between good and evil make this a compelling read for fantasy fans.
