I just love the Mortal Instruments Series, reading the first book: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, makes me wanna watch the movie! (Gawd Jace is hawt)
Quick summary:
City of Bones is the first out of the rest of the trilogy (in actuality there are currently 5 books and the latest would come out next year May 27 2014. Pls see their official page for more updates.) talks about the 16 year old Clary who suddenly witnesses a murder at a bar that she alone could see and no one could, she is then revealed to the world of supernatural, the shadow hunters and is teaming up with one of the shadow hunters jace after her mothers disappearance, and everything that comes with it just gets weirder and suspenseful to the point you can't drop the book until you finish reading it. Their world get smaller and the past secrets unveil and peice up the missing parts of the puzzle.
Mortal Instruments is my favorite book so far, and I really admire Cassandra Clare for her awesome works in the Shadow Hunters World (she is the author of the other shadow hunter books similar to mortal instruments Like infernal devices)
Honestly I felt a little unease at the end (im a person who would criticize, ask questions and spoilers) but I'll tell you now: after you finish the book you must read the next book to feel content coz I did.
I've been cussing, laughing, blushing basically making all sorts of funny expression reading the books, and I just love it. I'm shocked to find out the biggest secret that changes their lives coz I'm a big fan of their love team...
Anyhow, since I'm a big fan I'd like to share some of my fave quotes from the book:
Pg. 40
Jace: I said his poetry is terrible. It sounds like he ate a dictionary and started vomiting up words at random.
Pg. 44
Clary: are you threatening to kidnap me?
Jace: if you want to look at it that way, yes.
Pg. 86
Jace:The meek may inherit the world but at the moment it belongs to the conceit, like me.
Pg. 87
Jace: just be glad you hit me and not Alec, he could have hit you back
Pg. 100
Clary: I figured all your classes were stuff like slaughter 101 and be heading for beginners
Pg. 101
Jace: stay away from my blades. In fact don't touch any of my weapons without my permission.
Pg. 102
Madame Dorothea: if you were half as funny as you thought you were, my boy, you'd be twice as funny as you are"
Jace: I'm not quite sure what she meant by that (me too...)
Pg. 160
"If there was one thing she (clary) learned from all this it was how easy it was to loose everything you had always thought you'd have forever"
Pg. 175
Jace: I don't see why Mudanes (humans) apologize for things that aren't their fault
Pg. 187
Jace: and next time you're planning to injure yourself to get my attention just remember that a little sweet talk works wonders."
Pg. 189
Jace: Turn left!left! I said to take Broadway you brain dead moron!
Pg. 205
To love is to destroy and that to be loved to be the one destroyed
Pg. 210

Spoiler: ALEC IS GAY
Pg. 223
Jace: one less leech with a fancy ride, my heart bleeds.
Pg. 97:
Valentine: a werewolf who fights with a sword and dagger is as unnatural as a dog who eats with a fork and a knife.
Pg. 414
Clary: so only when the moon is partly full you only feel a little wolfy?
Luke: you could say that
Clary: well you can go ahead and hang your head out the car window when you feel like it
Luke: I'm a werewolf not a golden retriever
Pg. 459
Valentine: I have a suggestion
Luke: let me guess its don't kill me isn't it.
Majority of the funny quotes highlight Jace's egotistical nature, the dude got a badass sense of Witt.
"Call me maybe." - Magnus.
Spoiler: Alec is gay, they encounter the dude hosting a party name Magnus. I kept laughing when he said the above quote. (He also visits Alec when he got hurt, curing all his broken bones... You can figure what he had done with him and Alec can't remember... XD)
