[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.

The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters—including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them...

(view spoiler)[Right. I usually read big books like this super fast but its slow going. Hopefully we get a little action soon. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

25%: (view spoiler)[The first part was fun to read but as it goes on it gets slow. Not as much action. I do like it so far. Tessa is an intersting Character. I like Will. He seems kind. and the institute feels more like headquarters than it does a church. (hide spoiler)]

So slow going I actually haven't read it in a few weeks. I do want to get back to it at some point because they truly do seem interesting.

[Wolf (Alpha)]

75%: (view spoiler)[ I didn't really like Jess at first but shes slowly growing on me. I really like Will and Jem but it feels like Will is hiding things. And I'm interested in Jem's disease. It definitely got more interesting than previously. (hide spoiler)]

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ Overall this book was pretty good. It always takes a little bit to get into the book. Its a slow start. But later on in the book it starts to get interesting. Tessa's brother was annoying and I didn't like him. It was a waste of time to try to find him. I hated the end cliffhanger. With Will looking for an anti love potion. I love that the Clockwork Angel protected Tessa. (hide spoiler)]
