Clockwork Prince - Book

by Cassandra Clare

     The Clockwork Prince is the first volume in the second series by Cassandra Clare set in Victorian London. In an alternate history where demons conflict with angels, life and death struggles go unnoticed amidst everyday human life. It is here we meet Tessa Gray, a young woman newly arrived from New York City.  She has traveled to London seeking her brother, her only family left after the death of their aunt.
      In London Tessa finds herself in a fight for survival against an evil she can barely comprehend, finding help from an unlikely family and an inner strength she didn't know she possessed.
     This well written book is full of action and yet Cassandra Clare has also managed a vivid description of turn-of-the-century London with a unique set of characters.  I recommend it!
