I was really nervous about it, but I did hear great things about the Infernal Devices so I thought, “What harm can reading the first book do?” Review: I was a bit timid about getting to it because I fell in love with the shadowhunter world in the TMI series and I was worried that a historical prequel would ruin it. I had just finished reading The Mortal Instruments when I learned of this trilogy’s existence. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them….

Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters-including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to.

Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.

In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. The Shadowhunters of the Victorian Age delve into all of these-in addition to darkness and danger-in the Infernal Devices trilogy.
