Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

When her aunt dies, Tessa leaves America to join her brother, Nate, in Victorian London. When she gets off the steamship, she is immediately kidnapped by two evil women known as the Dark Sisters. They torture Tessa and force her to learn how to use the power she doesn't know she possesses: the ability to Change into another person, living or dead, by touching one of their possessions. Having fully trained her, the Dark Sisters are getting ready to hand her over to the Magister who intends to marry her when a group of Shadowhunters enters the house and frees her. Tessa is thrust into a world that she didn't know existed. She meets handsome and sarcastic Will, kind but fragile Jem, bitter Jessamine, and many others. As they try to help her discover who and what she is while searching for her missing brother, they uncover a plot to create an army of automatons whose sole purpose is to destroy the nephilim.

Cassandra Clare has become one of my favorite authors! She creates such complex characters and relationships while also weaving together many storylines. Her stories are FAR from predictable, which I absolutely LOVE! I can't wait for the next book in this series, Clockwork Prince, to come out in August. Until then, I'll get my Clare fix by reading City of Fallen Angels when it comes out in March!
