Tessa goes to England to find her brother and ends up being kidnapped by the strange and mysterious Dark Sisters. As members of a secret organization, the Pandemonium Club, the sisters have a plan for Tessa and force her to experiment with a power she didn't even know she had; the power to transform into another person.

The Shadowhunters rescue Tessa and she finds herself drawn into their world of demon hunting. Her search to save her brother uncovers a plot that may destroy the world. Tessa and her new friends will put their lives in danger as they struggle to overthrow the evil forces.

This prequel to THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series is full of beautiful prose and exciting adventure that pulls the reader into Victorian England and holds them there long after they close the book.

The twists and turns of the plot kept me guessing, hoping, longing, and ultimately satisfied. I loved CLOCKWORK ANGEL and can't wait for the next book in THE INFERNAL DEVICES series.
