Goodreads Synopsis: 

Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion, but danger is never far behind.
Running away brings Rhine and Gabriel right into a trap, in the form of a twisted carnival whose ringmistress keeps watch over a menagerie of girls. Just as Rhine uncovers what plans await her, her fortune turns again. With Gabriel at her side, Rhine travels through an environment as grim as the one she left a year ago - surroundings that mirror her own feelings of fear and hopelessness.

The two are determined to get to Manhattan, to relative safety with Rhine’s twin brother, Rowan. But the road there is long and perilous - and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and young men die at twenty-five, time is precious. Worse still, they can’t seem to elude Rhine’s father-in-law, Vaughn, who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansion...by any means necessary.

In the sequel to Lauren DeStefano’s harrowing Wither, Rhine must decide if freedom is worth the price - now that she has more to lose than ever.

My Review:

First...let me just say how beautiful that cover is! I can't stop staring at it and its just awesomesauce over awesomesauce! :D Can't see what they have for the final book it must be as good! *Eyes gleaming with suspense*

I loved Fever so much it was so damn good! I literally finished it in two days, stayed till 11 p.m to get half-way into it since it was just jaw-dropping good! I just feel in love with Lauren DeStefano's writing again and I so want to meet her! Fever was just as awesome as Wither, survival is high than ever for Rhine and Gabriel, and the suspense is killing! Don't to mention the crazy, heart-breaking, tearful *Picks up tissue to wipe eye after reading the end*  ending that I kept reading over and over realizing Fever ended.

I love everything about this book! The characters were perfect, suspense and action exploded from page to page *Frantic eye look* , and romance with sizzling between Rhine and Gabriel. There wasn't a time where I just wanted to drop the book because it had boring character, low action, no this book made my day better from every page and I was always excited.

Fever immediately starts right where Wither left off, Rhine and Gabriel running from the mansion. Danger and survival is higher than ever because Housemaster Vaughn is somewhat following them on their trail, nowhere is safe. Rhine and Gabriel find themselves in a carnival where girls are watched closely by a mysterious woman, a fortuneteller giving Rhine a glimpse of what life is in a very short amount of time, a lovely couple, allot to keep you entertained.

There's lots of things at stake that make you race till the last page and it will keep you up all night!

Fever is amazing, beautiful, awesomsauce book that is so good! 0.0 Give Wither a try and once you do keep Fever on hand because you will need it ^^

“He kissed back, all the pages spread out around us like riddles waiting to be solved. Let them wait. Let my genes unravel, my hinges come loose. If my fate rests in the hands of a madman, let death come and bring its worse. I'll take the ruined craters of laboratories, the dead trees, this city with ashes in the oxygen, if it means freedom. I'd sooner die here than live a hundred years with wires in my veins.”    

“Once upon a time there were two parents, two children, and a brick house with lilies in the yard. The parents died, the lilies wilted. One child disappeared. Then the other." Pg 225”

But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa's powers for his own dark ends.  

With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister'sShadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move and that one of their own has betrayed them.

Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will; the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?

As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.

My Review:

Story of my life reading Clockwork Prince.....

 

How I was when I got the book....

Hmm..Cassandra Clare you good.. lol :D

How I was when Tessa was torn for Will and Jem. Also the betrayls in this book.

The ending....

Where do I start with this book???!!! I got OCD checking the mailboxes everyday till this book was in my hand. Seriously...I never been so excited for a book and I went overboard with this one! I read all the reviews on it, to make me super excited about it, went ahead and read Clockwork Angel again. All for this final moment 2 days when it was published I got it and I read it instantly! :D

Did Clockwork Prince Deliver?

Cassandra Clare you broke my heart, feelings, and emotions into pages of this book! So so good. Flipping amazing. Clockwork Prince is pure perfection! :)

Definitely!!! Clockwork Prince was way better than Clockwork Angel and was amazing in every way. Cassandra Clare delivers all the dark, sinister streets of Victorian London back with a twist of heart-aching romance and action making you stay up all night to read it.

Wow..Just wow. It blew me away. Clockwork Prince picks up immediately after Clockwork Angel. Charlotte is on line for London's Institute. Tessa is torn between Jem and Will. Everything just on the line for everybody and they all know they aren't safe. Tessa is safe under the Institute, in London. She knows that her brother is somewhere out there, twisted and sick under the mind of Mortamin, and will do anything to get him back with Will and Jem. The three journey to unravel hidden secrets of the past from the slums of a secret party to a abandoned tea house. When they travel to the Yorkshire Manor, Will is faced with a clockwork automon holding a stunning revelation Will knows no one is safe, especially with the Magister out there.

I loved Tessa, Jem , Charolette, Magnus, everyone more and I can't wait to see them in Clockwork Princess! Tessa, she was torn, torn between Jem and Will. This book was like a war for he heart but for the heck of it TEAM WILL!!! There's lots more to both of them in this book and Jem really surprised me in the end! Will really iritated me. I actually thought he was biopolar! Happy for Tessa one time and then getting touching then ending up mad. Really Will?? What's going on with you?? But in the end I was Team Will. Though I have to see if that will change in Clockwork Princess.

The level of action is intense. There's heart-break and betralys that you could never believe! Especially Jessemine! Such a backstabber, but that's all I'm saying about her. Nate? I feel really sad for him in the end but there's a motive to what he's doing in Clockwork Prince and I love how Clare kept it toward the end.

The more I talk about this book I might think I will give spoilers!! Go out, buy this book, and read it the second you get it. Right now. Now! This book will not disapoint and I love the Infernal Devices more than the Mortal Instruments!

P.S Have a box of tissues and something great to eat because your reading for a perfect thrill ride!! :D

This book is so right.

This book is perfection.

I love this book.

Cassie Clare I'm going to punch you because of the ending!! :(
