Patch looked from me to the knife and back again. After a minute he laid it down infront of him. "I'm not going to hurt you Nora."

Review of Clockwork Angel

Review: Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
Goodreads Summary:
Magic is dangerous--but love is more dangerous still.

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.

Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.

Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

Review:
A few months ago I tried to re-read the Mortal Instrument Series by Cassandra Clare and frankly I couldn’t get through it. I think it’s the fact that I really hate Clary and Jace. I know, I hate Jace… what am I thinking?! But when Clockwork Angel came out I decided to give it a chance. I’m happy I did.
Tessa is an amazing lead, she is strong and witty. I love that Cassandra is not afraid to put Tessa in sticky situations. Tessa can fight, she’s selfless and unlike most YA heroines she doesn’t need the big strong strapping man at all times. Will and Jem are, well …. Amazingly delicious I have to say. Jem, I always love the boy who has a dark past but still comes out of it with a good heart. (Besides the fact that James is my favorite male name) And Will, oh Will how I love thee let me count the ways. Now how can I love Will and not Jace? (I don’t even know I just do) I am very curious as to what happened to Will in his past, what made him the way he is? He fascinates me, and I can’t wait to find out more. I highly recommend this book, whether you liked TMI or not, it’s a great read.

Waiting on Wednesday- Halo by Alexandra Adornetto

From Good reads:
Three angels are sent down to bring good to the world: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, a teenage girl who is the least experienced of the trio. But she is the most human, and when she is romantically drawn to a mortal boy, the angels fear she will not be strong enough to save anyone—especially herself—from the Dark Forces.

Is love a great enough power against evil?


release date: September 14th 2010

First of all the cover is beautiful, and despite what people say a beautiful cover does help alot. Most of all I want this book because I'm a sucker for forbidden love and that this author was only 13 years old when she got published, that is an amazing thing. very inspiring, can't wait to read this

*disclaimer: according to goodreads this is not the cover for City of Fallen Angels as it has not been released yet*

City of Fallen Angels takes place several months after the events of City of Glass. In City of Fallen Angels, a mysterious someone’s killing the Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine’s Circle and displaying their bodies around New York City in a manner designed to provoke hostility between Downworlders and Shadowhunters, leaving tensions running high in the city and disrupting Clary's plan to lead as normal a life as she can — training to be a Shadowhunter, and pursuing her relationship with Jace. As Jace and Clary delve into the issue of the murdered Shadowhunters, they discover a mystery that has deeply personal consequences for them — consequences that may strengthen their relationship, or rip it apart forever. Meanwhile, internecine warfare among vampires is tearing the Downworld community apart, and only Simon — the Daylighter who everyone wants on their side — can decide the outcome; too bad he wants nothing to do with Downworld politics. Love, blood, betrayal and revenge: the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.
