Teaser Tuesday: Clockwork Angel

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser:
 
“"The law protects us. We surrender to you. The Law-“
“You have broken the law,” snarled Benedict. “Therefore its protection no longer extends to you. The sentence is death."”
Page 253 of Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

    Dun dun dun. I liked this book, but not as much as the Mortal Instruments series. What do you think?

    Here's my teaser tuesday for this week.

    I still haven't read the Mortal Instruments to be honest. I want to though. I am really enjoying the writing style. :)

    love the teaser, love the book—not a fan of Gabriel, though but I'm biased. I want Clockwork Prince so bad right now! Maybe I should just reread this to hold me over.
