True love is shrouded in secrets and lies in the enchanting second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Infernal Devices Trilogy, prequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series.
In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when it becomes clear that the mysterious Magister will stop at nothing to use Tessa's powers for his own dark ends.

With the help of the handsome, tortured Will and the devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister's war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal and fueled by revenge. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister knows their every move—and that one of their own has betrayed them.

Tessa is drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa answers about who she really is? As their search leads to deadly peril, Tessa learns that secrets and lies can corrupt even the purest heart.

      Gr 7 Up-This volume picks up where Clockwork Angel (S & S, 2010) ended. Set in Victorian London and featuring powerful demon-fighting Shadowhunters defending human "mundanes" from a vampire, demons, and a new madman building a clockwork army, this novel offers mystery, adventure, and, most importantly, a delicious love triangle. Tessa Gray remains at the London Institute with the Shadowhunters who previously rescued her from the sinister Mortmain as she tries to discover the source of her unique power to transform into another person. Try as she might to guard herself against gorgeous but deliberately cruel Will, she finds that he makes her heart race. She is also drawn to his blood brother, slowly dying but beautiful and kind Jem, although it takes time for her to realize that their friendship has become something more. As events race to a cliff-hanger ending, secrets are revealed that explain Will's cruelty and leave Tessa with an agonizing choice between the two friends. Despite the merest veneer of Victorian setting and disregard of period conventions, this is a necessary purchase for any library where the first book is popular; it will not disappoint fans and it will definitely leave them eager for the conclusion of the trilogy.-Caroline Tesauro, Radford Public Library, VA
