Mortal Instruments on The Guardian's "Top 10 Secret Society Books"

The Mortal Instruments makes the list for "CJ Daugherty's top 10 secret society books"

From The Guild of the Faceless Men of Braavos in The Game of Thrones to Dumbledore's Army in Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix, thriller writer CJ Daugherty picks her favourite 'secret society' novels for teens

Here's what they had to say about The Mortal Instruments:

8. The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra ClareShadowhunters are a secret group who look very much like ordinary humans but who are only really a little human. Technically nephilim – or half-human, half-angels – they have superior strength and natural skills that allow them to see and fight the demons that threaten the world. The story of 16-year-old Clary Fray, an ordinary girl who finds out one day, when her mother disappears, that she is not an ordinary girl at all but one of the shadowhunters, is consistently thrilling. Clare writes amazing battle scenes, and spins hugely suspenseful story lines. The impossible becomes possible when she is writing. These are among my favourite YA books available at the moment.
