There really are such things as witches and vampires and demons!She is held captive by the creepy Dark Sisters, discovers she is a warlock and very valuable because of her powers. Once there, she finds herself mixed up in a much different world than she expected. Once again Cassandra Clare does not disappoint! After the death of her aunt, Tessa travels alone to England to be with her brother. Some violence (it is vampires, after all).Įditor's Note: Read alikes BLOODLINES series by Richelle Mead DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE series by Laini Taylor It is hard to say who is more likeable: Will, the Shadowhunter, or Tessa, the shapeshifter. It should appeal broadly to both male and female readers-both the male and female characters are well-developed and have admirable traits. Readers who like otherworldly novels with paranormal creatures and just the right amount of love interest will LOVE Clockwork Angel. Tessa finds herself torn - does she love the dark and brooding Shadowhunter who saved her from the Sisters? Or does she truly hate him? The Shadowhunters agree to help her find him, if she will use her shapeshifting powers to help them infiltrate a vampire clan. Tessa yearns to find her brother and fears for his life.
The Dark Sisters tell Tessa that they are to deliver her to this evil man, but Tessa is grabbed and spirited away by two young men who tell her they are Shadowhunters, trained warriors with special gifts who fight Downworlders like vampires and warlocks to save humans.
This quality, or gift, makes her highly valuable to the mysterious and terrible Magister. Unbeknownst to Tessa, she was born with powers to become anyone or anything.
They teach her to use her unknown powers to shape shift. Only when they show her a letter handwritten by her brother does she agree to accompany them to their lair. When sixteen-year old Tessa Gray arrives by steamship in London to meet her brother, she is met instead by two creepy women from a dark, gloomy mansion. Set in Victorian England and beautifully imagined, Clockwork Angel is a richly constructed fantasy novel that stands among the best fantasy of our time. Cassandra Clare just keeps getting it right! Fresh off great success with her best-selling series The Mortal Instruments ( City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass), Clare begins the back story with the prequel: Clockwork Angel.
