that void in his heart that Jem held.
As the story ends with Tessa at the Blackfriars Bridge in
London, when she is well over a century in age. She is
contemplating her long life when she meets someone from her
past she though was gone to her.
Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices series is one of
the best
series I have read. The story lines are gripping and hold
your interest page by page. Her world of Tessa, Will, and
Jem is fascinating! If you haven't read her Infernal
Devices
or Mortal Instruments Series, you need to! They are both
excellent!
