What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.įriendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.

When 16-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. I'm going to just keep telling myself these aren't real people even though they feel like it.Magic is dangerous-but love is more dangerous still. Personally I'm going to read in order I'm in the mood for.I know I could find spoilers, but even so I won't know the details of HOW that came to be. I want to read a couple of companion books: Tales of the Shadowhunter Academy' to learn how Simon became a Shadowhunter, and Shadowhunter Codex. Now that I know just how many books there are or will be in this entire Shadowhunters saga, I'm not sure if I'm going to read them ALL or read them in the 'right' order! I like to read, but it's a little overwhelming or daunting she wrote so man books. I do know The Bane Chronicles contains spoilers about Tessa, Will, and Brother Zacariah's real identity! LOL, I wanted to read about Magnus so bad (I love this guy), I read it right after TMI!

There are spoilers in the last book of TMI I guess, but I didn't find anything too major. I'm now reading TID, starting Clockwork Prince. I knew TID was a prequel to TMI, but I read the latter in its entirety without knowing I was 'supposed' to read it after the third book in TMI, since that's the order of publication.īut it's against my nature to stop in the middle of a series like that! I had to read all 6 books, as I wanted to know what happens!
