Summary:In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa's powers for his own dark ends.
With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister's war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move and that one of their own has betrayed them.

Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will; the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?

As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.

I love how Cassandra Clare has improved as a writer. This was a great book and aaaaah I don't know whether I think she should end up with Jem or Will they are both amazing.

i read it online, so i dont have a copy but its okay. and yes its pretty good. thumbs up to clare

:D I got it for Christmas and am currently working my way through it! I LOVE IT! <3 Clare is improving as a writer and I find myself really enjoying this!

I just finished reading it, Cassandra Clare is an amazing writer! I couldn't put the book down! :) I absolutly without a doubt L-O-V-E-D it!!!

SPOILERS. don't read if you haven't finished!

Just finished reading it. OHMYGOD. This book tore my heart in two. I loved all the romance in this book and Tessa's and Jem's growing relationship. And when Jem proposed, ohmygosh, my heart felt so happy for Jem, but also so heartbroken for Will. And I LOVES the DSBS and DSBedS... Sooo amazing <3

I just went to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie today and it reminded me so much of the Infernal Devices Series! From the set and the costumes and the colors of London! I imagine if there were a movie the feel of it would be much like the Sherlock Holmes movies. Watching Holmes and Watson fight together in sync the way they did was seriously like watching Parabati fight together. ....odd Watson is kinda the calm sidekick who carries a cane and goes along with the crazy alcoholic brilliant man Holmes. It's basically Will and Jem

ooo nice analogy!

I just finished reading the other day! OMG, I couldn't put the book down! This love triangle about tore my heart out--I don't know how Clare will manage to make a happy ending out of it! Seems so impossible! I'm glad Tessa kept her engagement with Jem, though. I would have hated her otherwise! But I felt for Will through much of the book, poor guy! But maybe now he can have a real life!
