City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing
Release Date: March 27, 2007
ISBN: 1416914285
Description: from goodreads

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. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

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....

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.


REVIEW:

Setting up a completely different world than our own would be hard, Cassandra Clare does it perfectly. From page one you are sucked into the story and in the end left wanting more. Cassandra Clare's story is suspenseful, filled with hot guys, and an all around amazing and original read. 5/5

Review: Girl Vs. Ghost by Kate MCMurry and Marie August

Girl vs Ghost (Misdirected Magic Trilogy, #1)
Paperback, 242 pages
Published April 10th 2011 by Blazing Star Press
ISBN: 1613400004
series
 
Isabel Lindley was only doing  her friend Tripp a favor when they were doing a spell in her bedroom. She really didn't believe in magic. She certainly was surprised when a teenage boy lands on her floor. Isabel is not happy, Tripp is, even though she can't actually see him, and Isabel is the only one that can. Isabel does not want to take on the responsibility of this boy who doesn't know his name, when or how he died, and why he is tied to Isabel by a psychic chain. The only way  to get rid of him she realizes is to figure out about his life, and then he can move on. She wants him gone.
 
Isabel is the ordinary teenage girl. Wears t-shirts and jeans and doesn't believe in magic. I really liked her and her support for her best friend was how friends should be. Tripp was also a super likable character, she was different and a very entertaining. Marc was a mystery, it would be hard not knowing who you are, finding out you are dead and not knowing how it happened, seriously tough. I enjoyed finding out all the mystery surrounding  Marc and Isabel and Tripp experience it with him. Girl vs. Ghost was funny, and entertaining!  
The art done inside and on the cover of the book were done by one of the authors, Marie August. The pictures were definitely a a great addition to the book!5/5
 
I received the book for review from the authors, this is my honest opinion.
