Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare
Review by Chenise
In 1878 Theresa Gray, with the help of shadowhunters Will and Jem, searches for her missing brother. The Pandemonium Club is a network of vampires, demons, warlocks and humans who want to conquer and rule the British Empire and who are equipped with a magical army of clockwork creatures which appear to be unstoppable.
This series is great for any fans of the Mortal Instruments series or any readers who enjoy fantasy stories in general. The series is full of action, adventure and mystery and is almost impossible to put down.

Review of Lizzie
Garvie Smith, with his bad reputation of truanting school and hanging around with his no-hoper friends, decides to become involved with a local investigation of the murder of a former girlfriend. Garvie is really very intelligent and uses his astonishing intellect to “help” investigator Singh even though he has been warned to stay away.
If you like suspense stories which you never want to stop reading, you will love this book. You will be so surprised with who the killer is at the end as there are so many twists to the story as the murder unfolds.

Review by Beth
Calypso loses her mum when she is young. Her loss devastates her father, who closes himself off, so Calypso ends up mostly lively a lonely life, pretty much caring for herself. Her saviour is books and reading. Reading comforts her and the books her mum leaves behind are the only part of her she has left. She makes friends with Mae who starts school and is put in her class, their love of words, reading and writing bringing the girls together.
This book is wonderful, comforting, haunting and just beautiful to read. I would recommend this book to any reader of any age and if you are a fan of Wonder by RJ Palacio then you will love this.
