"You don't get a choice, do you?" she asked. "About being a Shadowhunter. You can't just opt out."
"No," he said. The door swung open, letting in a blast of muggy air. The carriage had drawn to a stop on a wide square of green grass surrounded by mossy marble walls. "But if I had a choice, this is still what I'd choose."- City of Bones, page 177.
What is a Shadowhunter and why can't he get out of it? For my first Teaser Tuesday, I am using a quote from City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I haven't read to this part yet, but it sounds interesting. I hope to finish City of Bones this week and post a review of it. City of Bones is the first in the series by Cassandra Clare. Check put the rest of the series and updates from the City of Bones movie on her website, www.cassandraclare.com!
About the Book:
When fifteen-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. (from Goodreads)
