This series is one of the more epic romances i have ever read. It is a wonderful story, full of twists and turns, surprise's and mystery. I loved this book, i have all of the books written by this author revolving around this story , including the prequel "Infernal Devices" This is one of the few books in which i found my self talking to the book telling it what i wanted to happen. i felt like the person in the back of the theater yelling "NO! DON'T GO IN THE CLOSET!" While yes somethings were predictable, a lot of this novel was a mystery to me. It is very different then any book i've read before. i believe on of the covers says "give this to any fan of the series twilight"(paraphrased) this is true to some extent. The book does involve vampires werewolf's and plenty of other mythical creatures, but i would not compare it to twilight. Although i did enjoy that series (Although not to the extent of some crazy people) so it maybe they were right. This book was very hard to put down. I literally fished the first one and picked up the second one and continued to read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy, or romance or vampires, werewolf's,and fairies its a lovely book and is an extremely enjoyable read. Enjoy Emilie
