Publisher's summary

Alec Lightwood, partner of the High Warlock of Brooklyn and father of a warlock child, visits Buenos Aires in the aftermath of the Dark War. When he arrives, he is not welcomed by the Shadowhunters there. He believes it is because of his companion Lily, the head of the New York vampire clan, until a Shadowhunter orphan confides a dark secret to him under cover of the Shadow Market.

beautiful

I think this was my favorite short story to date. I found myself getting choked up multiple times. So many definitions of love and home and all wonderful.

The sweetest story of all

This is one of my favorite Shadow Hunter stories of all times. Several of my favorite characters make up this book as well as several new ones that I love now. I definitely want to know more about this beautiful blended family and hope there is another story soon. The narration was amazing as well. Her voices were distinct and moved easily among the characters.

Amazing

This is one of the best books of this short stories. In a very compact way, the authors present how Raphael entered the life of Aec and Magnus ... as Dearborn was already manipulating to put into practice his plan to exterminate the downsorld. the ramifications that the treatise on the fairies tore up. Once again we have references to the characters and events that will be better known in the next series - Last Hour.
In my opinion this as certainty is one of the best books in this collection.

Excellent Novella

This was a great short story. Lots of plot twists and action packed in. it's always nice to get Alex's point of view, he has a very different mind set than the rest of the characters. I love how much he loves Magnus and what he wants to do for downworlders in general. He is by far one of my favorite characters.

I normally don’t write reviews

Before I say anything let me say this.
I really enjoyed this series of books especially since you get to see beloved characters from multiple series in this series of short books however I have a small word of warning I would not recommend these books for children or teens
Unless you want to create a great deal of confusion the imagination is a wonderful thing but it is going let astray as a Christian apologist and a youth pastor I freely admit that I in joyed this these characters I think the writers are awful mean to him sometimes but I do enjoy it however if your truly curious about angels demons and the supernatural in general these books will lead you far astray if you’re looking for answers and you have a real questions he would be better served by CS Lewis and Frank Paretti if you want to know about angels and Demons these two authors have a much better grasp of their reality if you’re looking for original source material a Bible with the apocrypha included such as a re-printing of the 1611 king James will work for my protestant friends and for Catholics I believe the new Jerusalem Bible still contains the apocrypha there are a few others that are authorized by the church
You can find these online for free no copyright to worry about someone wants road there is nothing to dangerous that it can’t be talked about I would say there’s nothing too dangerous to talk about his long as it’s not in a vacuum one point of view unverified can’t be dangerous out of the mouth of two or three witnesses thing be understood
There is one other thing about this entire series of books that I have to warn you against I have to I don’t want to but since God is the manufacture
I have to trust that he knows Best
intimacy between two people is something sacred it’s right up there among the top three physical things you can do that has serious spiritual implications The Bible says God is love the next first says he is Holy Holy Lord God Almighty
I believe one of the cruelest things that the devil is done to us all since the fall is twisting our perceptions of love and intimacy between two people with that you’re straight or crooked
Believe me when I tell you we’ve all been twisted that’s why I love her so very hard to find and keep the devil knew it was very important and that’s why he’s worked on it so very hard to make it into what it is today

Perfectly sweet

Alec and Magnus are my favorite couple. So happy to see how their relationship matured as they became parents and leaders. I read the book version through the library so many times. After I returned it, I got the audible version just to have my own copy it was that good.

My favorite so far of this series.

Love reading about Alec, Magnus, and their family; Gem, (Will) and Tessa, and the "newer" characters are great also. Love the Gem nicknames!
