![]() ![]() Tessa is desired romantically not only by her housemates but by an evil Magister who envies Tessa’s power to take the shape of other people and access their minds and memories. Tessa is living under the same roof with both men, having been rescued by the Shadowhunters, a group born from angels who live in a mansion training their members for an inevitable war with demons. Sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray is not only continuing to search for her brother, she’s weighing her affections for rival suitors - tall, dark and hunky Will Herondale and his sickly but sweet best friend, Jem Carstairs. ![]() Set in 19th century London - 150 years earlier than the “Mortal Instruments” books, which take place in modern-day New York City - “Clockwork Prince” picks up where “Clockwork Angel” left off. In “Clockwork Prince,” the second installment in a prequel trilogy to the bestselling “The Mortal Instruments” series, Cassandra Clare demonstrates her relentless authorial alchemy, blending societal restraint and an otherworldly battle into a steamy steampunk drama. ![]() Whether it’s the overly tight corsets or the smell of dark magic that hangs in the air “like sulfur mixed with the Thames on a hot day,” there’s something about Victorian England that heightens tensions, both romantic and paranormal. McElderry Books: 498 pp., $19.99 ages 14 and up ![]()
