“Clockwork Prince, the second book in the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare, was a wonderful Victorian romp. The only thing keeping it from getting a full 5 stars is the word beautiful. That word, along with others similar to it, was used so much, it almost became sickening. The story, itself, however, kept the book from being completely ruined. I love the characters, and I love how they interact with each other. I love the Victorian theme mixed with alternative suspense. I love the action, and drama. I am dying to know what will happen next. So, it's an awesome series. Only a little too obsessed with beauty.

“There's something so intelligent and fun about this book that makes me want more. I adore Mary Russell, and I adore her and Holmes together. In this sequel to The Beekeeper's Apprentice, Mary finds herself tangled up in a murder mystery involving a woman she can't help but respect. The murders, the near-death of her friend, and a run-in with a nasty knife can't be denied, however. Margery Childe is involved somehow, and Mary must figure it out before her own life is truly at stake. Naturally Holmes is there to help, but this case is all Mary's, and she is quite determined to solve it on her own. Holmes becomes more and more involved, though, and something changes between the two of them by the end of the book. Nearly losing someone you care about will do that to a relationship, though, right? Great mystery, with a dash of suspense.

“I was drawn in from the begining with this story of a teen girl with a mysterious mom. When said mom goes missing, Anne soon learns that there are deep dark secrets about her mother, as well as, herself. There was a good bit of mystery and suspense here, and a little teenaged drama to boot. I liked all of the characters and found them mostly believable. There may have been a time or two that I didn't think someone would act a certain way in real life, but overall, an entertaining book.

“This is a book that should not be rushed through or expected to be devoured in one setting. It must be savored and taken in a little at a time. The magic and awe of the circus is so wonderfully imagined that I truly wish I could go there in person. I could almost smell the caramel and taste the chocolate mice on my tongue. There are so many wondrous characters, performances, magical rooms, and dreamy scenes to intoxicate the senses. The romance between Celia and Marco is beautiful in its simplicity. The imagination of this author astounds and inspires me, and I look forward to her future endeavors.

“Great suspense and intensity. I like that the characters in these books are realistic. They aren't macho butt kicking superheroes, but normal people struggling to survive in a zombie filled world. It did start to fizzle a little bit towards the end, but quickly picked back up again.

“This sequel to City of Bones was like an exhilarating ride at and amusement park. Jace and Clary are so heartbreaking and intense. The action was endless. I couldn't even make myself put the book down during the last few chapters. There are a few big changes that will rock you. By the end of the book I was left with many questions. Are Clary and Jace really brother and sister? What did the Inquisitor whisper in Jace's ear? What happened to Valentine? How will Clary wake her mother up? How does Clary's mom really feel about Luke? What will the Clave want to do with Clary now? I am absolutely chomping at the bit to read the next book!

“

I absolutely detest long chapters and thick paragraphs. Despite that, however, I thouroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the repartee between Holmes and Mary. I liked getting the background story of how they met, and how Holmes became her mentor. The mysteries they solved together and how that solved them was quite good fun. I will definitely be reading more Laurie R. King books, long chapters and thick paragraphs or not. ”

“This was much like reading a classic novel, and I thouroughly enjoyed it. Greit was almost unlikeable with her saucy outlook at times, but I couldn't resist her spunk. I liked that she didn't always just let people walk all over her, especially bratty children. I also liked getting a glimpse of what it may have been like in a painter's world. It made me want to see Vermeer's works. I will definitely be checking out other books by Tracy Chevalier. ”
