City of Bones

This series i'm reading right now, the first book is called, "The City of Bones" and it made me SO. ANGRY. Now let me tell you why...
****MAJOR SPOILERS!****
So in this book, the main character's name is Clary (short for Clarissa) and she's described as red hair, thin, freckles.. cute & innocent.
This whole series is about the magical world;
Shadowhunters, Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Warlocks, Demons Silent Brothers, The Clave, etc.
So Clary finds out in the book that she's really a Shadowhunter, since her mother was one too, and she's been kidnapped (the mother, not Clary) so Clary goes with a Shadowhunter, (JACE) who is convinced that that is indeed, what she is.
Once she's settled at the institute with all the other shadowhunters, she soon discovers her long lost dad, Valentine, the evil guy who's attempting to ruin all humanity, and take over the mortal instruments...
So she's not too happy.
Anyways, Clary has this best friend, Simon
Simon's described as that geeky little hot kid, the one we all love ;)
Then there's Clary's new friend, Jace.
Cheekbones of Johnny Depp, blond hair, eyes of amazing, the typical hottie.
Simon loves Clary. Clary doesn't realize it. Clary's in love with Jace, and vice versa.
They even get a lil' close, if you know whatimean. *kisskiss*
xD
So later in the book, THIS IS THE PART THAT MAKES ME ANGRY;
jace & clary? All lovey dovey, *kisskiss* ?
THEY'RE SIBLINGS. SISTER AND BROTHER. BRO & SIS. RELATED!
EW. Whaaaaaaat the hellllllll.
that made me so angry. they were like MEANT for eachother... yet, are related. EW. WHAT IS THIS.
the author screwed up on their part. that was a TERRIBLE twist.
sure finding out that SIMON and Clary were siblings, not so terrible.
BUT THEY'RE IN LOVE WITH EACHOTHER. its revolting. and made me quite frustrated.
So then later, Simon declares his love for Clary, and they start... "dating" sorta. And Jace and Clary ignore their feelings for each other, and stop talking.
Until they visit the Faerie Queen, who has put a curse on Clary, and in order for Clary to be released, she needs a kiss.
So Simon's all, OK. and kisses her..
nothing happens.
Then the queen explains that the Kiss needs to be from the person that she desires the kiss from the most.
Jace.
EW.
So Jace kisses her... not just kisses her, but KISSES her.
and she's released.
Again, confused about how wrong their love is.
OMG OMG OMG OMG what a sick story! Honestly, i didn't even want to read the second and third book.
But then I decided, hay, maybe its a trick, and they'll find out that they're NOT sibs,
so I read the second one. AND HEY, they're STILL siblings in love.
Then I started the third one, and nothing yet.
It's still sick and twisted. Sorry, but that twist, totally turned me off of that book.
>.< style="font-weight: bold;">THINKS like that?
Sure the storyline is good and all, and the whole idea of the place they're in, and Valentine is cool and such..
but that TWIST. just made it so... BAD.
Ugh.
