What I'm Reading

Recently I picked up a copy of "Clockwork Angel" by Cassandra Clare. It is the first book in the Infernal Devices trilogy.
I adore watching book review vlogs or vlogs from readers in general. I found a video on Youtube from a vlogger who was showcasing her bookshelves and giving a brief description of each book. Clockwork Angel was one of those books. It looked insanely interesting to me.

From Amazon:

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'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'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, 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. 

This book is truly magical.
The setting, plot, & characters are fantastic. I've fallen in love with Tessa & Jem, & have found myself in a love/hate relationship with Will (mind you I've a little over 50 pages before I finish it).
I have a feeling that this trilogy is going to be one of my favorites.


edit: Finished the book this evening. I absolutely loved it! I'm still a little iffy about Will. I know that so much more is going on with him than meets the eye. This book is a must read!
