I do hope everyone had a very good Valentine's Day. Some say this is a useless holiday that only benefits candy companies and those alike but I myself had a very good day. I had some donuts and coffee with the best friend then headed out to dinner and a movie with my other best friend. (BTW I saw Never Say Never and it was awesome! If you love or hate the Biebs you got to admit that his story is inspiring).
I finished my book Sunday night and it was good for being a novel geared towards teens. I'm not going to recap the book because it was soooo long but I'll give a general idea of the book. It wasn't necessarily a long book (about 500 pages) but the story was the first in the series so it had to set up the entire preface of the books. Ok, what you need to know about this book is that Clarissa Fray found out she is a member of a secret underworld society (in which her mother hid her from) that is sworn to protect the world from demons, vampires, werewolves etc. She meets three shadowhunters (demon hunters-think Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and is swept up into some major drama that relays back and forth from her own personal discoveries and problems and the inevitable takeover of the underworld.
I thought this was a good book if you are into the whole teen, sci-fi series. It's a good read and I wouldn't mind finishing the series which is about five or so books (off the top of my head). The series apparently was so popular that the writer, Cassandre Clare, is starting a spin off series from the original books. I look forward to reading the first book soon after I finish this series.
So my final verdict that I did not hate City of Bones despite that teen novels make me gag = ). City of Ashes up next!
