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.
This book is so similar to City of Bones, it was very hard to get into the story. I know it takes place in the same world, but I have read other series that have spin-offs in the same world and they do not rewrite the same stories with different characters. This story is very predictable. It was very hard to even finish the book. I kept wanting to do something besides read this book. I will not be getting the next book in the series.
