Summary
Add a SummaryClockwork Angel, the prequel to the New York bestselling series The Mortal Instruments is set in gas lit streets of Victorian London. 16 year old Tessa Gray is lured by the Dark Sisters members of The Pandemonium Club a secret Downworld organization of vampires, warlocks and other demons. Tessa manages to escape with the help of Will, a magical being called a Shadowhunter, killing one of the sisters and a servant who is more robot than human. Will, along with his Shadowhunter friends belong to the London Institute are dedicated to ridding the world of demons. She is fascinated and torn between Will and his best friend James and is drawn deeper into the plot that threatens to destroy not only the Shadowhunters but the world as well. Magic is dangerous – but love is the most dangerous. Compulsive reading as Clare has the ability not only to tell a story but to create a very intriguing other world.
When sixteen year old Tessa Gray arrives by steamship in London to meet her brother, she is met instead by two creepy women from a dark, gloomy mansion. Only when they show her a letter handwritten by her brother does she agree to accompany them to their lair. Tessa becomes their prisoner. They teach her to use her unknown powers to shape shift. Unbeknowst to Tessa, she was born with powers to become anyone or anything. This quality, or gift, makes her highly valuable to the mysterious and terrible Magister. The Dark Sisters tell Tessa that they are to deliver her to this evil man, but Tessa is grabbed and spirited away by two young men who tell her they are Shadowhunters, trained warriors with special gifts who fight Downworlders like vampires and warlocks to save humans. Tessa yearns to find her brother and fears for his life. The Shadowhunters agree to help her find him, if she will use her shapeshifting powers to help them infiltrate a vampire clan. Tessa finds herself torn--does she love the dark and brooding Shadowhunter who saved her from the Sisters? Or does she truly hate him?

"It's alright to love someone who doesn't love you back, as long as they're worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it."

"It is as great a thing to love as it is to be loved. Love is not something that can be wasted."
"Whatever you are physically," he said, "male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy, all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. Whatever the color, the shape, the design of the shade that conceals it, the flame inside the lamp remains the same. You are that flame."
"She's dead," said Jem. "Are you certain?" Will could not take his eyes off the woman's face. She was pale, but not with a corpse's pallor, and her hands lay folded in her lap, the fingers softly curved, not stiff with the rigor of death. He moved closer to her and placed a hand on her arm. It was rigid and cold beneath his fingers. "Well, she's not responding to my advances," he observed more brightly than he felt, "so she must be dead." "Or she's a woman of good taste and sense." replied Jem

Add a Commentits really really good!!!
OMGOSH!! this series is amazing, just as good as the mortal intruments (maybe even better!!! ) plus its only a trilogy so you get the story over with! I definitelyyyy recommend it.. :) if you like these you would LOVE the other 2
Sounds interesting
I read this book because I loved her other series and it was recommended to me so many times. At first I found it a slow read. Once I got into it I really loved it- ESPECIALLY the ending (and the roof scene sobs). If I reread this book now I bet I would love it beyond belief and the sequel is one of the best books I've ever read, along with Clockwork Princess (which I own signed). Will is just the best character; I mean... Wow you MUST get addicted to this series.
this is one of the best books i have ever read. best ending ever :D and jem and will are both amazing
Jem is all around perfect. Minus the fact that hes dying
absolutely LOVED this series!! its better then the Mortal Instruments in my opinion, I am in love with Will Herodale and think Joshua Brand is as close to perfect look wise to play will <3 ;) highly recommend this series! (:
I really like this series and Cassandra Clare!!!
I love this book so much. Go team Will! <3
I like this series better than the "Mortal instruments". I can't wait for the Clockwork Princess
