In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street—and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa’s powers for his own dark ends.
With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move—and that one of their own has betrayed them.
Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, but her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will—the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?
As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.
Review:
Wow!! This was amazing, I couldnt put it down!! So excited for the 3rd book to come out!! Cant wait to see the clockwork army, who Tessa will truly pick for her love interest, and what the heck Wills sister is doing!! I adore the witty, yet funny dialogue. I love setting of the 1800's of England, Such a nice change of pace. Learning the characters even further[Learning why Will can be such an a**], yet it isnt just like The Mortal Instruments [yes does have some of the same characters but setting is new, ton of new characters, and of course new plot line and action]. But because of the ending I felt more let down, I wanted a darn cliff hanging that left me craving the next book. All in all I liked the book, and fully would recommend reading the books!! Id read the books in the order they were published in, which is, City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, Clockwork Angel, City of Fallen Angels, Clockwork Prince, and City of Lost Souls.
