Waiting on Wednesday + News!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

So I dunno about everybody else, but I'm completely psyched that The Clockwork Angel, the first of Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices series, comes out in less than two weeks. (How can anyone not be?!) I, like most of the world (with the exception of a few lucky bloggers who have been at this much longer than have), did not get an ARC of The Clockwork Angel and I totally can't wait to read it:

Description from Goodreads:
Magic is dangerous...but love is more dangerous still.

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.


Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, 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 of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: Jem, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa.


As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa 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.

So yeah, I'm definitely excited. I love love loved The Mortal Instruments series, so this should be great. And now, the news!

An exclusive book trailer for The Clockwork Angel has been released online. And you can watch it here. I tried to embed the video, but apparently I'm technologically un-savvy and also I just got home from my first day of school, so that didn't happen. But click the link and watch the video! It's awesome. Definitely can't wait to read the book!
