Goodreads beskrivning
In the magical
underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with
the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in
the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the
Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the
street—and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use
Tessa’s powers for his own dark ends.
With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move—and that one of their own has betrayed them.
Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, but her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will—the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?
As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.

Mina åsikter
Den här boken var bättre än bok 1 i serien, då det var lite mer action, lite mer spännande och intressanta saker som hände. Jag fastnade lite mer för karaktärerna den här gången. Men det som jag fortfarande inte gillar är den love triangle som förekommer redan i första boken. Det är en trope som jag aldrig fastnat för och den brukar för det mesta bara irritera mig. I den här boken så får vi svar på några frågor, men långt ifrån alla. Kan eventuellt tänka mig att fortsätta med serien, det får tiden utvisa.
