Clockwork Angel
Clockwork Angel | Zola Press
SUMMARY: 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.

Littens, can you help me?
I scored books 2 and 3 in the Infernal Devices trilogy on a swap site, brand new, and I‘m really excited! However I have been having trouble finding the first book in the same edition, which means I need to special order it, but I want to make sure it‘s the right one!!

Can you help me figure this out? I live in a non-English speaking country and the editions available at the local English bookshop don‘t match 😕

I think Clockwork Angel may be my favorite Cassandra Clare book so far. I'm loving Tessa and can't wait to keep reading to find out what happens with Jem and Will! 💕

This was a second read and I loved it even more the second time around. I am a sucker for Victorian London and the steampunk feel of the book.

Shape changers, demons, and clockwork automatons make this a better series than 'The Mortal Instruments' judging by this first book. Loved it. Rating: 4/5.

Finally!
After two years of waiting to start this series (City of Bones, Ashes and Class took a while to get through) I'm finally going to meet Tessa, Will and Jem.
Victorian shadowhunters bring it on!

Love love this book; even better than the Mortal Instruments. It has all the good of the previous series and less pretentiousness. I reread this at least yearly.

My favorite bookish squad is Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunters. Will, Tessa and Jem, or Clary, Jace, Isabelle and Alec - they're all great and gorgeous, have superhuman abilities, they've all got eachother's backs, and they've all got Magnus Bane! #augustofpages #bookphotochallenge

MrBook Nice cover and pic! 8y
TheLondonBookworm Great choice! I think I'd go for Jace, Clary and co over the others though :) 8y

While I didn't love the characters in this prequel *quite* as much as the characters in Mortal Instruments (#TeamSimon all the way!), I loved the steampunk setting in Victorian London. It's an interesting take on the Shadowhunter world. Hopefully there will be more Magnus in the sequel!

This book was certainly different from what I was used to since I read The Mortal Instruments series first, but it was still a very good way to show the reader how long Shadowhunters had been around. It also showed us different views from when these books take place and when the others take place.

First in The Infernal Devices trilogy, an amazing series by author Cassandra Clare who has also wrote Mortal Instruments.
