Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices: book two) By: Cassandra Clare





In magical Victorian London, orphan Tessa found safety with the Shadowhunters, until traitors betray her to the Magister. He wants to marry her, but so do self-destructive Will and fiercely devoted Jem. Mage Magnus Bane returns to help them. Secrets to her parentage lie with the mist-shrouded Yorkshire Institute's aged manager Alyosius Starkweather.

(Goodreads)
 I love this series. That’s all I have to say about it. This is one of the best books I have read, and have reread it many times, and every time I think “WHY?!?! LORD Cassandra Clare why must you try to kill me with your cliff hangers!! OH the ending it breaks my heart so” :’(
Anyways… I believe Tessa is more of a Marry Sue in this one, trying to take everything on especially when it involves her beloved brother. And very giving, I mean she gave up her love for Will just because Jem had proposed to her…. Well that is a good reason, BUT right afterwards Tessa had burnt her hand badly because of the pain in her heart. I always thought she should have told him no, that she loves Will and save the rest of us all the pain and tears TT^TT. Now Clockwork Prince deals more with the threat of Mortmain and that threat becomes a reality when they face betrayal. There is plotting, lies, and the love of Will and Tessa J but there is also Jem, sweet, sweet Jem that is going to die and loves Tessa. And Tessa belongs to Will. Oh love triangles how much I love/hate you. So we have our dilemma, we have our evil, we have our heartbreak. And this is one of the happiest. Everything is still very happy nothing too serious has happened yet, so everyone is still happy (EXCEPT Tessa and Will. Except those Will and Tessa), they have won the bet against the Lightwoods, Charlotte is pregnant (with sweet little Buford), Tessa and Jem and engaged. All is well… For now. 

Now what I noticed from annotating the book what how hard Cassandra Clare tries to use old English, I mean at times it was ridiculous, it was just so funny! I didn’t notice this before, but now I just can’t help but giggle at times when it was over used. Also I noticed that this was all about Jem and Tessa’s relationship, with the occasional Will interference (except the ending! D’:). But I found it sort of sad that Tessa almost had sex with Jem at this spur of the moment kiss that went too far. I mean, at that time there virginity was sacred
and she almost lost it… I always thought that it went too far, but… meh -__-”

Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices: book one) By: Cassandra Clare


So this is my third time reading it, and I also annotated my book (I felt so guilty at first), and I realized something, this book focuses on the Tess/Will relationship and Jem is not that important a character. I personally love this book, and enjoy it more that the Immortal Instruments (also by Cassandra Clare). This trilogy follows Theresa (Tessa) Gray, William (Will) Herondale, and James (Jem) Carstairs. Specifically Tessa.
Anyways... The book starts off with the death of a mundane (human) in London in the year 1878 that Will and Jem find, from there the point of view changes to Tessa, who lives in American. There, Tessa's Aunt dies leaving her alone because her brother Nate is in London working. she then receives a letter from Nate with a ticket to London. Now once Tessa gets to London she might as well have been kidnapped by these sisters called the Dark Sisters. Tessa is then stuck with the Dark sisters for three weeks, being tortured (ish) because Tessa has a peculiar power to change shape to anyone, as long as she has something of theirs. Then at the end of the three weeks the Dark sisters are getting her prepared to marry the Majister when she is saved by a sexy shirtless leather bound shadowhunter. Love at first hit... So anyways Tessa is now living at the institute with the shadowhunters there. From here there are trials, betrayals, and trying to figure out who the Majister is.
Characters:
  • Tessa Gray: She is such a strong and independent girl. She had gone through so much and was still able to be as "normal" as possible. With her being able to change shape, she has the advantage but, as in the book, she fears loosing who she truly is. Also I absolutely love her little arguments with Will, and her love for books.
  • Will Herondale: What can I say about Will, he is just so awesome!! He's the tall, dark, handsome boy of the trilogy with a mysterious past causing him to push others away from himself. Perfect :3
  • Jem Carstairs: In the first book he really isn't that important until later on in the book. But he is the kinder side of Will, he is Will's parabatai, but is bound to die... For now he is kind and gentle.
I absolutely love this book (as I said before) and I would definitely recommend this to those who enjoyed The City of Bones, Hush Hush, and other angel books.

Your Guardian Angel (book one of the Guardian Angel series) by:SkylaMadi


I actually really liked the book (considering that I got it for free on Kindle). It was interesting, it was about vampires, god/goddesses, and angels. And I love all three. It started off great!! "When I think of death, I picture a warm light embracing me in my sleep at a very old age. When I experienced death, it was completely different..." That line hooked me right from the beginning, and from there it was good and bad.
So the book is about Ruby Moore and her half vampire half goddess issue (at the moment). Her mom was killed when she was 16 by her step-dad (Hank) gone vampire turning her into a half vampire when a light erupted from Ruby stopping Hank from completely turning Ruby.  Then she tries to live a normal life as a human at her aunts house. It goes on to when Ruby is cured and goes to SS. Then there's some boy problems, girls hating on her, the norm. So at the school SS she is the 'bad girl' that every guy wants and very girl hates. So Ruby is always getting in trouble. Later on in the book she starts getting letters from a certain vampire stating that they had her cousin, who Ruby adores. So Ruby being the Mary Sue that she is, didn't tell Eli, her guardian angel, and escaped to the forest to confront Hank. Turns out it was a lie... So many people die and it's all Ruby's fault.
Characters:
  • Ruby: I actually really liked her at first, as the book continued she slowly got annoying.. Anyways, Ruby at the beginning was morbid and sarcastic. Absolutely loved it, she could hold her own, fought back against the bullies, ignored the jerks, awesome. Once she got to Sage Sanctum she got very annoying.
  • Eli: Oh my gosh!! Is there another word for him!!! :3 A side his hotness... He was kind of mean, he was very controlling. His relationship with Ruby was forbidden because she was a student he a teacher and the goddess no mating with angels... But Eli was just kind of annoying. 
  • Mila: I think she is so sweet and it's sad how she was always bullied. Now what did bug me was how she sold out Ruby's secret of being a former half vampire to the school bully, Raina. But oh well, she's supportive of Ruby and very kind I really like her. 
  • Hunter: sexy bad boy that nobody trusts... He is just so awesome... Personally I liked him more than Eli. But alas Ruby loves Eli 
OH and he gave her a whistle to call him!!! Lord I want one!! All girls should have one :3 because I mean we could all use a hot angel. 
(I'm very sorry if my review is not very good)

Sun Kissed (book two of the Guardian Angel series) by: Skyla Madi


Well what can I say... I didn't really like it started off descent, but to me, it slowly got worse. But it's still decent, as in, I still want to know how it ends.
Ruby Moore is depressed because her beloved angel is gone. Well it starts off like that... Anyways Ruby is depressed because Eli has been locked in a dungeon for three months because of his inappropriate relationship with a student and also it is a guardian/goddess relationship which is frowned upon. So for three months Hunter (who I absolutely adorable) is trying to court her. Slowly Ruby starts to care for Hunter until Eli comes back. They try to stay away from each other but they're in love and can't stay away from each other. Now the big problem in this one is the Higher power that calls upon Ruby, and Eli, to do there bidding. 
Pros: it is still very interesting and makes me what to know what happens next :)
Cons: Ruby was very annoying with the "I love Eli, but I also love Hunter. And both are forbidden loves.." And her marry sue act -__-" 
Otherwise this book is still great :3
