Description
Magic is dangerous—but love is more dangerous still.
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##Q##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, members of a secret organization called 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##Q##s more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa##Q##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, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm##Q##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.
Review
While this was a good book I did have some problems with it. There was a lot of action and drama, and twists in the plot (I can##Q##t and won##Q##t give any of them away). I had never heard of the Infernal Devices trilogy before I started reading this book a couple weeks ago and I am now on the second one, The Clockwork Prince. I have had the same problem with this series the whole time, Tessa. Tessa is whiny, naive, and has very biased and preconceived opinions about servants and the lower class of London. This would probably not bother me so much if she had ever actually had a servant but alas she hasn##Q##t. What Tessa knows about servants she learned from reading books of fiction. This is definitely a personal pet peeve and in no way should suggest that I don##Q##t want others to read this book. Clockwork Angel is definitely a book worth reading.

I'm just a mother of three taking care of my family hilariously and blogging about it to embarass the **** out of them. I watch too much tv, play too many games (video and mobile), I love tech, fast cars, often read too many books, and I blog badly. Plus I've got some minor OCD issues I think.
