ther example. In Clockwork Angel Tessa Gray has left the Untied States to come to Victorian London, England to join her brother. She is met at the docks by two sisters who kidnap her and put her through terrible trials to awaken her special power. After she is rescued by Shadowhunters (demon hunters) from these sisters, who are really demons, she is introduced to an underground world full of supernatural creatures - vampires, demons, and more. Her brother has disappeared and the Shadowhunters agree to search for him. Along the way there are bloody battles, charming villains, and romantic relationships - enough to terrify a young girl from America. I found myself so involved in this world that when I heard a book two was published, I immediately bought. Look for the Clockwork Prince to also join our collection in the near future.
