When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks, and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.
Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, who are members of a secret organization call the Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.
Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James and whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue eyed Will , whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.
Could you imagine leaving your home and going across seas to start a new life??? Its only you and your brother. A fresh start, a new country, a new life. Or so that what was every intention of Tessa Gray's when she stepped off of the boat that foggy day in London.
Tessa Gray stepped off of the boat knowing who she was, where she came from, and everything she can know about her parents, until she met the Dark Sisters and that changed everything. Soon Tessa was not who she thought she was. She was forced by these sisters to change. She can hold onto something of someones and change into them if they are living or past away. She was completely unaware of this new found ability after all she was only human.
A very handsome Shadowhunter named Will comes to Tessa's rescue after weeks of her being a prisoner. As she is a guest and kept in safety of the London's institute, Tessa learns there is a whole another world that exists beyond what she has always known. With her new found talent and new friends, who have promised her to help her find her brother, Tessa encounters dangers beyond she ever imagined, not to mention a new love.
A new identity, a new life, a new world, and even a new love is everything and more in Cassandra's Clare new series of the Infernal Devices : Clockwork Angel. Pick it up today and let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
