City of Bones, by Cassandra Clark is probably one of the most epic stories I have read in a long long time. It begins with the story of a quiet ordinary girl named Clary visiting her favorite rave with a friend, and quickly turns to a saga that spans not one but 3 other books. how might a rave spark something like this you might ask? It all begins when clary witnesses a group of shadowhunters (a.k.a. bad*** demon slayers) doing their job. After this she finds out (SPOILER ALERT) her mother was a shadowhunter, who unfortunatly gets kidnapped (END SPOILER). When all is said and done though City of Bones drops a vicious cliffhanger, that only makes you want to read more. (Gary, Senior)

The Forest of Hands And Teeth


In Mary's world, there are simple truths. The sisterhood always knows the best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence the suffounds the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth.
But slowly, Mary's truths are failing her. She's learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets. And when the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. Now she must choose between her village and her future, between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded by so much death?
Powerful. Intelligent. Dark. Bewitching. Sexy. And Scary, are all things I felt while reading this book and many authors of other books can agree. From Scoot Westerfeld, author of Extras and Peeps, to Melissa Marr author of Wicked lovely and Ink Exchange, to Classandra Clare author of City of Bones and Justive Larbalestier author of How to Ditch Your Fairy.
If you like a good compelling book that you wont want to put down, this is the book for you. (Hannah, Junior)
