Customer Reviews

Loved it

It is one of my favorite book series. My husband and I read this together.

Condition

I ordered the like new condition, and while the cover/pages are intact, there was a name written largely on the edges of the book, so I'm not super happy about that- definitely would've put as very good and not like new. But it's still readable for sure, and overall I'm pretty happy with what I received.

I loved this book

I was the perfect start to the series. It kicked off the trilogy perfectly by grabbing my attention and keeping throughout the book. The characters are amazing and you will get attached immediately.

Perfect.

I was speechless the whole way through, and had to slow down my reading to soak in the details because I was so anxious to see what would happen next!

Great book, inaccurate listing

I ordered this as 'Like New' but when it came it was ex-library with stickers, water damage, tears in a few pages and inside covers, and some writing inside the front and back cover...

I Fell in Love!

Before reading this trilogy I read The Mortal Instruments series and thought "nothing can beat this," but The Infernal Devices absolutely blew my mind and has become, by far, my favourite fictional world. For those not familiar with the Shadowhunter world, this trilogy and TMI series is about a unique species of humans called Shadowhunters who are part human and part angel. Shadowhunters protect the human world from threatening creatures like demons and other threats. This particular trilogy features romance in a light I'd never seen before, some great action and adventure, as well as a protagonist who struggles with her identity (quite literally actually) and has to learn to embrace what she is. I could not put the book down at all and I fell in love with just about all of the characters. I saw no flaws in the telling of this story except for the fact that it didn't go on forever. If fantasy and romance is something you're passionate about, this trilogy will steal your heart.

To good to be true
