So I know that a lot of people are die hard Will girls - and I will admit that he broke my heart at the end of this book - but Jem is just too adorable for words. Anyway, on with the review.

Once again I am just shocked at how much better these books are than the Mortal Instruments series. I really love the setting and tone of these books - the old feel of London, carriages to get to places, gentlemen, just everything about it is so easy to visualize. And I think this really adds to the story sin ...more

I continue to be surprised at how quickly I finished this book.
