" I have read The Infernal Devices series several times over and I still hold fast that this is my all-time favourite trilogy. However, listening to the story again, being read by someone else really brings it to life. Only Cassandra Clare can weave such an intricate love triangle that you absolutely just GET! "

— Larissa, 8/18/2013 -
" Clare writes about another world of vampires, shadowhunters, and the struggle of right vs wrong and good vs evil. The characters are intriguing but there is a lack of depth in their development on a whole. If you want a relaxing fantasy then this series may be just what you are looking for. "
