The Mortal Instruments

City of Bones (Mortal Instruments)City of Ashes (Mortal Instruments)City of Glass (Mortal Instruments)City of Fallen Angels (Mortal Instruments, Book 4)
If you enjoy the supernatural and are looking for another series to get into, I would recommend The Mortal Instrument series by Cassandra Clare. The first four books have been released in a series that was originally a trilogy but is now rumoured to be six books in length (always good to know that there's more to come!). The books are set mostly in New York City, which is a place I find it easy to imagine fantastical things happening. Also, in the City of Glass a large portion takes place in the land of Idris which is the homeland of the Shadowhunters, the main supernatural race of the series. And if you are looking for even more excitement there is a prequel series calls The Infernal Devices, the first book of which is called Clockwork Angel.

City of Bones: We meet our main character Clary who is currently oblivious to anything abnormal in the world, which quickly changes. Suddenly her mom's kidnapped, she's seeing people that her best friend Simon cannot, and is swept up into a world full of story time monsters that she never dreamt existed.

City of Ashes: With her mother (Jocelyn) in a coma, her not-dead-as-she-thought father (Valentine) wreaking havoc, and the guy she just fell in love with turning out to be her brother (Jace) Clary has a lot to figure. Catching on quickly to how the world of Shadowhunters work and the help of some new friends she muddles through.

City of Glass: In an attempt to wake up her mother Clary travels to the homeland of Shadowhunters in search of help. While there she must prepare for the ultimate showdown battle between Valentine with his demon army and the rest of the supernatural world.

City of Fallen Angels: Things seem to be going well for Clary, her mother is getting married and she can finally be with Jace. Everything seems a little too quiet until Shadowhunters start getting murdered and a new evil presence emerges on the scene much older and fouler than Valentine.
