When sixteen-year-old orphan Tessa Fell's older brother suddenly vanishes, her search for him leads her into Victorian-era London's dangerous supernatural underworld, and when she discovers that she herself is a Downworlder, she must learn to trust the demon-killing Shadowhunters if she ever wants to learn to control her powers and find her brother.
I feel like I'm constantly writing reviews that hail books as the "best I've read in awhile!". But this time, I really mean it. I was 250 pages into this book before I even noticed it. The story is compelling; I found no elements unbelievable, the plot was seamless. There is not a single character that I dislike. Even the villains are perfect. I can't wait to get the second book. I have the first book of The Mortal Instruments, but I can't decide if I want to finish this series first. I just don't know!! Read this book.
