I'm not always a fan of Clare's work for some reason, but this one was a fun read. I haven't read all of this series, but I knew enough from reading the Mortal Instruments books to follow along. The action and characterization news fun and held my interest, and the cocky dialogue never disappointed.

📘The Gist 📘: All Alec and Magnus want is to have a romantic vacation in Europe. Those plans are threatened when Magnus is ordered to deal with a demon warshiping cult that claims he is their founder.
