The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

Demons, witches, and shadowhunters... oh my!

Brace yourself for a wild one. It's "Twilight" meets "Indiana Jones & the Last Crusades" meets "Star Wars" as a young girl (Lily Collins) discovers that she is the key to a hidden world of demons & angels. Here, the vampires don't sparkle and the werewolves clothing replacement is addressed. Hiding in plain sight, a magical portal, and spell-powered tattoos are featured in this action-packed thriller with intriguing mystery and a little romance. Collins is perfect for the part. Based on a popular book series, this looks like a good start for more adventures.
