City of bones

City of bones is about a teenager called Clary who lives in New York. Clary finds out that she is a shadow hunter. Shadow hunters hunt and kill demons. Valentine is the 'bad guy' he wants to take over the clave (like government) and kill all down worlders. Down worlders are other creatures such as vampires, werewolves and faires. I Can't really say anything more without spoiling the book but I recommend you read this book it is really good and there are five other books in the series and another series that is set before but it is the same story I makes you understand more about the mortal instruments series (City of bones series). People have recommended to read the other series before you read the last book of the mortal instruments series.
