Description: 

THE INFERNAL DEVICES WILL NEVER STOP COMING

A net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. Mortmain plans to use his Infernal Devices, an army of pitiless automatons, to destroy the Shadowhunters. He needs only one last item to complete his plan: he needs Tessa Gray.

Charlotte Branwell, head of the London Institute, is desperate to find Mortmain before he strikes. But when Mortmain abducts Tessa, the boys who lay equal claim to her heart, Jem and Will, will do anything to save her. For though Tessa and Jem are now engaged, Will is as much in love with her as ever.

As those who love Tessa rally to rescue her from Mortmain’s clutches, Tessa realizes that the only person who can save her is herself. But can a single girl, even one who can command the power of angels, face down an entire army?

Danger and betrayal, secrets and enchantment, and the tangled threads of love and loss intertwine as the Shadowhunters are pushed to the very brink of destruction in the breathtaking conclusion to the Infernal Devices trilogy.

 My Thoughts: 

Best ever ending of any series I have ever read. Simply loved it. The book is all a book lover would want in a book. It can make you laugh, cry, angry and happy. I highly recommend it . Though I was waiting for this epic battle with Mortmain with all Shadow Hunters against him and then it didn't happen, also his death was very casually written which was the only thing I didn't liked about this book. Except from that I really loved it. Definitely a must read.


 My rating:

 I give this book 5 stars out of 5.

Description:


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.


My Thoughts: 


wow just Wow...Friendship, Love and Betrayal ?!!! It contains all of them. This book was like a beautiful journey. I liked the way it ended, leaving the readers to think about the book after several hours of completing it. I completed this book in afternoon and I am still thinking about what to do with me now. I can't help thinking about all the characters. Its like they have become real person... I am laughing and crying with them.
This book has left me with happy and sad thoughts at the same time. Happy for Charlotte and Henry and Sophie too. But I can't decide whether I am happy for Jem or Sad for Will.
I was team Will from starting and I am so heartbroken for her. AGGHH I really hate love triangles. But they are good to add drama in the story and because of it I also like it. Oh God what to do with me now. This book had just made the story way more interesting than it was before. I liked it better than last one. I am really looking forward to read the last book in the series.

 My rating: 

 I give this book 4 stars out of 5.
