I have started reading a new book called Clockwork Angel. It is the prequel of the Mortal Instrument Series (The City of Ashes, The City of Glass) This book unlike the books before it takes place in London, England. A young girl names Tessa, travels to London to find her missing brother Nate. She then finds shelter at the home of the Shadowhunters or demon hunters where she discovers a secret power she has. Tessa is a Downworlder, which is a human infected by lycanthropy, vampiracy, or magic (vampires, werewolves, warlocks). She is a special type of Downworlder: she has the ability to shape-shift into anything she wants to. Now, the Shadowhunters and the demons have seen that she could be useful to them both and have started fighting over her.
The author, Cassandra Clare has done a very good job of putting different genres in this book such as action, fantasy, romance, tragedy and betrayal. I couldn't stop reading it. It was full of suspense. I think the thing I enjoy most in this book are the betrayals. When you're not expecting it, a character who seems like a good guy suddenly turns against them and sides with the demons.
I am really starting to like this book and hope to read the next one: Clockwork Prince.
