叛愛

The Infernal Devices #1, part 2

by Cassandra Clare, 卡珊卓拉·克蕾兒, 唐亞東 (Translator)

遠渡重洋的泰莎終於在倫敦學院找到歸屬感，而這群神秘的「闇影獵人」：古怪善變卻迷人的威爾、溫文體貼但神秘的杰、漂亮驕縱的珊潔蜜……則協助找尋她失蹤哥哥納森的下落。當她自願以「天賦」幫助闇影獵人一探血族巢穴，並化身為吸血鬼卡蜜兒之後，卻令泰莎不免揣想：此刻威爾的熾熱眼神到底凝視的是她，抑或是美艷不可方物的卡蜜兒呢？

即使意外地救出了哥哥納森，泰莎反而陷入無盡的猜忌疑惑中：為何納森是人類，她卻是擁有一股不明力量的異世界人？還因此面臨生死兩難的選擇！泰莎是要聽從哥哥的要求，成為神秘機械怪物「主人」的新娘；還是能留在奪走她初吻和戀心的威爾身邊，弄清楚自己到底是誰？但是當最終時刻來臨，泰莎突然明白原來自己還有第三種選擇：將匕首插入自己的心臟之中……

About the author

Cassandra Clare was born to American parents in Tehran, Iran and spent much of her childhood travelling the world with her family, including one trek through the Himalayas as a toddler where she spent a month living in her father’s backpack. She lived in France, England and Switzerland before she was ten years old.

Since her family moved around so much she found familiarity in books and went everywhere with a book under her arm. She spent her high school years in Los Angeles where she used to write stories to amuse her classmates, including an epic novel called “The Beautiful Cassandra” based on a Jane Austen short story of the same name (and which later inspired her current pen name).

After college, Cassie lived in Los Angeles and New York where she worked at various entertainment magazines and even some rather suspect tabloids where she reported on Brad and Angelina’s world travels and Britney Spears’ wardrobe malfunctions. She started working on her YA novel, City of Bones, in 2004, inspired by the urban landscape of Manhattan, her favourite city. She turned to writing fantasy fiction full time in 2006 and hopes never to have to write about Paris Hilton again.
Cassie’s first professional writing sale was a short story called “The Girl’s Guide to Defeating the Dark Lord” in a Baen anthology of humor fantasy. Cassie hates working at home alone because she always gets distracted by reality TV shows and the antics of her cats, so she usually sets out to write in local coffee shops and restaurants. She likes to work in the company of her friends, who see that she sticks to her deadlines.

City of Bones was her first novel. Sword Catcher is her most recent novel.

好萌！！！常看的感想部落格說這部比TMI系列還好萌，沒想到是真的！！ 而且其實裡面登場的人物多多少少都跟TMI系列有點關係啦，像是馬格奴斯跟卡蜜兒。話說卡蜜兒在這邊的性格還蠻不錯的耶，雖然他在TMI那邊完全是龍套腳色就是了。然後也解開了傳說中跟亞歷克長很像威爾到底是誰...根本就不是舊情人，是傑斯的祖先啊XDD

劇情老實說比較緊湊，雖然不像TMI系列完全是在拯救世界危機的程度，但說實在的還是很好看，而且還有三角戀耶三角戀耶！不像賽門完全是砲灰這樣，是真的三角戀耶！ 雖然說泰莎目前的劇情看來心完全在威爾身上，但我看過據透所以ry

威爾的個性和傑斯有點像，但比傑斯還欠揍跟過分啊，他內心的黑暗秘密到底是什麼？杰就完全就是個紳士，聽說台灣讀者大家都比較喜歡他的樣子，但是我....我其實還是比較喜歡威爾多一點。是說這部又出現了變態哥哥，這個故事裡的哥哥到底都怎麼了呢？？
