There are six of these books, and I read them ages ago - immediately becoming a fan, with the twitter account dedicated to it and all. They're the perfect mix of fight scenes and romance, but they do get a little weird at the end of book one to book three.
It's about this group of people, called Shadowhunters, who fight demons and keep the world safe, and of course there's that one girl who is a normal teenager until she finds out that her parents are really powerful Shadowhunters. The two love interests (there's really only one, but anyway) are Jace and Simon. I absolutely loved Jace is the books because he was supposed to be mega gorgeous, and also had all these hilarious lines about how good he was. BUT, in the movie I liked Simon just that little bit more, because, well, ROBERT SHEEHAN. He's actually an actor from the TV show 'Misfits' (which I wrote about recently) and is per-fect.
I think I liked the movie more than I liked the books.... Which is weird because a lot of book readers find issues with the movie! Anyway, I think it's probably one of the best adaptions I've seen in a long time, basically because of how perfect the casting was. I didn't think they would be, but each and everyone of the characters was exactly how I imagined they would be. They also stuck to the plot pretty closely and threw a A LOT of quotes from the book in there, which is something I absolutely loved!
They did skip a few parts and put things from book three in there, so if you're the kind of person who is reads book one, watches movie one, etc. THIS ISN'T A GOOD IDEA! If you're reading the books now, and don't want any spoilers, then I really suggest you wait until you're onto book four.
All in all, I thought it was super cheesy, but absolute perfection.
