This book is the first in the Mortal Instruments series. It is about the shadow world which lives among us but only people born of the shadow world can see it. There are warriors that are half human and half angel that protect the mundanes (normal humans) from demons. A teenage girl falls into the shadow world when she sees the warriors kill a demon and then her mother is attacked. The girl w/ the warriors help, has to find out her mothers past and secrets in order to save her.

I could not put this book down and the end is shocking. I already bought the second book if that tells you anything. I think this is a great change in series compared to all the more popular ones out there.
