Of course, I was also 17, and was yet to meet Wifi, Nick Hornby, or Kurt Vonnegut. At that time, I was still using dial-up prepaid internet, and I thought Cassie Clare was probably the wittiest writer around. I would check for updates every week, and would stay up rereading each chapter. Had a few quick laughs with the LOTR fic, but when it came to the Draco Trilogy, man, was I hooked. About a decade ago, I found her famous (though in some circles, infamous) fanfics: the LOTR: The Very Secret Diaries and, of course, the Draco Trilogy. I say when, because my choice to pick up this book has to do with history that I have (albeit one-sided) with the authoress. Well, it really depends on when you’re coming from. With the influx of Young Adult novels in the market, what makes City of Bones from Cassandra Clare a worthy pick? She wakes to find herself in the middle of the war between good and evil-a war between Shadowhunters and demons. Her mother goes missing and she ends up almost getting killed by a monster in her apartment. Plot Summary: When 15-year-old Clary Fray stepped into a New York nightclub, the last thing she expected was to become a witness to a murder that no one else could see.
