Book Blogger Hop! (4)

Hi hoppers! I'm Cara--thanks for stopping by the blog!!

This week's question is:

Q: Tell us about the book you're currently reading!

A: Wow, this question couldn't have come at a better time.

Right now I'm reading Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare!

Synopsis:

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: Jem, 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.

As previously stated in my vlog, I had very high hopes for this book. So far, it's living up to them. The characters are intriguing and really make you want to know more about them and their backstories. I definitely recommend picking this up on release day!

In case you didn't know: Clockwork Angel is the first book in The Infernal Devices series, which is a prequel series to The Mortal Instruments series (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, & the soon to be released City of Fallen Angels.) Clockwork Angel comes out August 31st of this year!
