Synopsis
Their hidden world is about to be revealed....
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. Clary knows she should call the police, but it's hard to explain a murder when the body disappears into thin air and the murderers are invisible to everyone but Clary.
Equally startled by her ability to see them, the murderers explain themselves as Shadowhunters: a secret tribe of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty-four hours, Clary's mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a grotesque demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....

Reviews
Honestly, this book doesn't have much different to offer than most of the fantasy books published in these past years. A teen girl encounters a new world she never knew about, learns of her secret parentage, and starts to fight a dark side. If you read books like Twilight, The Summoning, Blood and Chocolate...anything that involves faeries, werewolves, and vampires, then you're already seen the characters in this book multiple times. I'd recommend this to any young adult following this year's book trends, but an adult may not like this book series.
