 Yay for Infernal Devices fans! I just love the setting, the characters, the magic, the romance...everything. I liked TMI too, but it's Tessa/Will/Jem and Victorian England that make me a gushing fan girl. :)

Victoria,
It sort of reminded me of The Bodyfinder a little, except every dead person that I believe is murdered has a unique smell and the smell won't go away till she finds out what happens to that person.
