This book was soo much better than I was expecting. After reading the first 80 pages or so, I felt like I wouldn't be able to get into it all, but once it started picking up, I was engrossed to the end. So much so that I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

The girlies were so right.
I loved this book! No, I won't give anything away, but I will say... It's jam packed with witty sarcastic comebacks; and if you like Vampires (the real ones not sparkly ones), Werewolves, Faeries, Demons, Nephilim, Steampunk, Magic, sparks of romance mixed with adventure. You might want to check this book out.
I have plans to read Clockwork Prince followed by Clockwork Princess soon :)

Will sitting in the attic pouring holy water over himself is etched into my brain. It's a summary of my sexuality actually.

This book was such a disappointment considering everything I’ve ever heard about it has only been good things. To be fair it is YA and I feel like I would have enjoyed it in middle school but not at 21 years old. The world building felt half hearted at best, all of the characters seemed underdeveloped and especially will and jem felt like the author was trying to make them not be 1 dimensional but ultimately fell short. The plot was completely transparent (I guessed the “plot twist” that happened at the end about 40% into the book). Also I HATE self pitying characters who somehow always make it about themselves in conversations and that describes almost every character in this book. In addition, Will is not a good person? He’s supposed to be the main love interest with a dark and mysterious past but it kind of just comes across that he’s a dick? Like the things he said at the end of the book are inexcusable even if he is hiding some dark traumatic past that effects the way he acts. And also on the topic of romance, him and Tessa are obviously being set up as lovers but the have no chemistry? They’ve known each other for what two weeks in the book and have a handful of mediocre conversations And Tessa loves him? Come on girl. Despite this it was very easy to get through and somewhat entertaining with a nice cliff hanger at the end.
