Quick Summary
Magnus and Alec are back, and this time they have to track down a powerful warlock-stolen tome that could unleash a greater demon, so the story mixes the witty banter of a couple who actually know each other's quirks with some truly spooky showdowns that will keep you on edge. The humor pops especially when Magnus uses his glitter-filled magic, while Alec's straight-laced detective work provides a nice contrast, making it a great pick for teens who like a mix of romance, action, and a dash of snark. Parents should know the book includes mild profanity, a few steamy moments, and some graphic fights, but nothing too graphic for older teens. If you've already fallen for the Shadowhunters world in the original Mortal Instruments series, this sequel feels like a fresh, more intimate look at two favorite characters, and it reads a lot like a buddy-cop adventure with a magical twist. Overall, it's a fast-paced, funny, and occasionally dark adventure that will keep readers hooked until the last page.
