There are so many times when Magnus can be TOO MUCH…like, basically all the time. Like literally I’m tearing up just thinking about it. I will soak up every single page of the next two books because finally being able to see Magnus and Alec’s love front and center was a beautiful thing. But really, no, even though *you know who* was found *you know where* that isn’t why I will devour the rest of this series, no no no. For numerous reasons but DEFINITELY because of what happened in the epilogue. Even throughout this book, I was enjoying it but kept thinking okayyyyy was this really necessary?! What is this story adding to the bigger picture besides just basically being fanfiction for Magnus x Alec shippers? I mean I love Magnus, I really do, but I was just like “how much longer can all this be drug out?!”…I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, too.

I can’t lie, when I first found out that Cassie was writing ANOTHER series based in the Shadowhunter world, I was a little peeved.

Just know that I was highlighting like crazy the last 25%. It literally pains me that I can’t add quotes to this review but hey, I get it, it’s an ARC and things are subject to change. As their quest for answers becomes increasingly dire, Magnus and Alec will have to trust each other more than ever-even if it means revealing the secrets they’ve both been keeping. As if it wasn’t bad enough that their romantic getaway has been sidetracked, demons are now dogging their every step, and it is becoming harder to tell friend from foe. Now Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Hand and its elusive new leader before the cult can cause any more damage. A cult that was apparently founded by Magnus himself. But as soon as the pair settles in Paris, an old friend arrives with news about a demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos around the world.
