When Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother in Victorian England, something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld. Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark sisters, who are members of a secret organization called the Pandemonium club, Tessa soon learns that she has the power to transform into another person. The Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own. Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons. She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James and Will. As Tessa is drawn deep into a plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, she realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

Sorry. I liked this book, but I'll never rate Cassie Clare higher than a 1 star.
Read this in 2011 but re-read now after finishing The Mortal Instruments series.
Now going to buy and read the rest of the Clockwork series!
Cassandra Clare's books are addictive.
Thoughts from 2021 Reread: I did not enjoy this as much the second time. These characters I think overtime grew on me but in the actual book I don't like them. I think my initial enjoyment was more nostalgia than actual enjoyment of the book.
