The Mortal Instruments Series- Clare

Titles include:

City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, and City of Fallen Angels

Clary Fray and her best friend, Simon have their lives turned upside-down when they meet Jace.  He is a boy unlike anyone Clary has ever met.  She can't stop thinking about him, but Jace's world and his powers make him an attractive but dangerous young man.  Jace introduces Clary and Simon into the realm of demon-slaying Shadowhunters.  The Shadowhunters have mad skills and are always ready for battle.  They acknowledge the Downworlders but try to avoid them as they are not particulaly fond of the Night Children (vampires), or Lycanthropes (werewolves), or even the warlocks, and faeries that make up this realm. The Shadowhunters and the Downworlders do have a common enemy throughout the series, Valentine, a power-hungry, evil man.  Jace and Clary each have past histories with Valentine but that isn't always a good thing as you will find out as you read the novels.

I love this series. If you are a Hunger Games fan, or a Maze Runner fan, or maybe an Twilight fan, you're going to love this series too! Fast-paced, lots of action, the forbidden romance, it is all in this series!
