About this listen
Don’t miss The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, now a major motion picture. Discover this first installment of the internationally best-selling Mortal Instruments series and “prepare to be hooked” (Entertainment Weekly).
When 15-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.

Somewhat disappointing
Maybe it's because I watched the show first, but none of the characters really stood out to me at all. I really had to struggle through this one to finish it, I'm sure other people will love this series but I wont be continuing with it.

Good story, terrible accents
The narrator uses a thick and kind of irritating accent for most of the characters. It kills a lot of the humor in the writing, especially Jace's wit, which is the best part of the story.

Odd accents
This is one of my favorite series so I decided to get the audio books to listen to on my commute to work. I have no idea why the narrator chose to give the characters all these weird accents. It also makes Clary sound like she's 8 and overly bratty.
Really wish this would get redone.

Love this book but....
I've read City of Bones before, so it was interesting to listen for a change. I really enjoyed it, but Mae Whitman uses the weirdest, refined/affected accent for anyone who isn't Clary or Simon. It doesn't suit the characters at all, especially Jace because it's hard for the sarcasm to come through... and who is Jace without sarcasm?

Strange choice of accents
Great book. Not sure why the narrator decided to give all the shadowhunters British accents when they were all born in New York.

#Audible1
My first review, I never knew how awesome an audible book would be! I have a half hour commute to and from work that I now look forward to instead of dreading because I can listen to my books!!
This is a series that I’ve kept putting off, now I don’t have too and I was really impressed with the performance. I really liked her voice, easy listening AND she’s the voice of Tinkerbell! Win-win I’d say.
Definitely going to continue the series, need to find out what happens next.
Oh! And #Audible1
