The Clockwork Angel Infernal Instrument
is written by Cassandra Clare. This book has an unpredictable storyline. The Clockwork Angel is a prequel in the Mortal Instruments series. The main characters names are Tessa, James, and Will. For Tessa’s back story, at first Tessa didn’t know why she was special. She has a rare ability, she can shape shift at will into another person.
Wills back story is he left his family at age 12, and wouldn’t see them again. Will has lived in the Institute ever since. He acts unfriendly and rude around the Institute for his own personal reasons.
Whereas, James is a different story, when he was younger he lived in Shanghai. His parents died by a demon named Yanluo.
Eventually, Yanluo escaped in his home, and kept his family as
prisoners. Yanluo tortured James with demon poison. After, he was rescued; he was healed with one exception. The one exclusion was an addiction to demon poison, which is slowly killing him, everyone tried to wean him off the drug, but it didn’t work. Consequently, James is slowly dying and is dependent on the drug.
Her brother Nate left Tessa to travel to London and get a job. Tessa stays with her Aunt, until she died unexpectedly. Hope arrives by Nate inviting Tessa to travel to London and meet him. However, Tessa arrives only to get kidnapped by the Dark Sisters.
There is a world full of shadow hunters, vampires, warlocks, and other supernatural creatures. Shadow hunters are people who are trained to kill demons, and protect the human race. Some of these Down Worlders are part of a secret organization known as the Pandemonium
Club. Their leader is known as the Magister. The Dark Sisters plan was to have the Magister marry Tessa, not out of love but for her ability. The plan is ruined because Tessa gets rescued from a shadow hunter named Will.
Tessa goes to the shadow hunters London Institute; she is staying to be part of an investigation to find her brother Nate. In exchange for what she knows, the shadow hunters will find Tessa’s brother. The villain, also known as the Magister, is on the loose with
a goal to marry Tessa. It’s hard for Tessa to recognize, because the

Tessa is torn between two shadow hunters James and Will. Even though Will is arrogant and rude, Tessa sees those deep blue eyes behind his beautiful face. While James is sympathetic, kind, and gentleman like. The plot goes on to show as Tessa goes after her brother or help her
friends James and Will to save the world. Tessa is at the institute because the enforcement group, Clave is at war with De Quincy, who is a leader of his vampire clan. Tessa decides to stay at the institute and take care of her brother. In the end her friends survive a
terrifying journey through the Dark Sisters house, along with her brother. Ever
since that day, she hasn’t had the same relationship with him ever since.
I enjoyed this book because the characters are
described with personality; they jump out of the page. In addition, you also receive a strong
emotion for the characters. The plot itself is suspenseful. It is hard to put
the book down. You develop a sense of equality and a twinge of sympathy. This
book enhances how lucky you are to have family that loves you. You must learn from your experiences and learn from your hate and sorrow experiences. This book is entertaining and
makes you want to know more about your inner self. This book may affect you by
knowing that you are unique and every talent is a gift, no matter how horrible
it seems. This book allows you to realize your inner self and beauty, to
realize whatever world you live in, no person is completely honest.
