2. City of Bones (Cassandra Clare)
Based on the best selling novel by Cassandra Clare, City of Bones. 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. Then the
body disappears into thin air. 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. Within
twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance,
when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a 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

Ignatius Perrish, a guy who has always tried to do the right thing, only

person he loves more than anyone in the world, is killed, and although
he’s never charged with the murder, everyone, including his family and
friends, believe Ig is responsible. Then one night Ig goes out drunk to
rage and curse God, and when he wakes, he discovers he’s grown a pair of
horns, and that people have a sudden compulsion to confess their

turns his terrible new powers to finding the man who killed his beloved,
and taking his revenge.
