Seriously? I wasn't sure about the hype around the Shadowhunters world but oh was I mistaken! From the first page I was drawn into the book and couldn't let it go. 
 I like Tessa, the fact that she acts like a normal being and isn't all so brave and good at everything. But we also see her grow throughout the book and become more and more badass which I like a lot. 
 The Shadowhunters are all so cool while being so different from one another. I just want to know more about them and their world. 
 The story was beautifully written! Every chapter (and the book!) ends with a cliffhanger so you just want to continue reading! There was a lot of action, battles, a little love story, friendship, family and twists! The only thing is that I kept forgetting the setting was in the late 1800s.
