City of Bones

This series was recommended to me by several people, so I already had it in mind that it was going to be good. Though the story was interesting from the start, sometimes I think Clare's snappy comebacks between Clary and Jace got in the way of telling that story. The writing definite picked up about midway through the book and by the end she had me simultaneously angry, intrigued, and wanting the next book immediately. The last 100 pages definitely earned those 5 stars for me!
