The Eldest Curses -- bk 1

Alec and Magnus are on their first vacation as a couple.  Both are hoping to take their relationship further.  However, their plans are ruined when rumors reach them that a cult is trying to raise a demon and somehow everyone believes Magnus is the leader.  Now, they must work together to clear Magnus' name and stop the cult.

I really enjoyed this book.  It both gives a look into Alec and Magnus' relationship and reveals more of Magnus' past.  It is a must read for those who enjoy the Mortal Instruments series.

The story of Magnus Bane and Alex Lightwood's vacation to Europe.  Unfortunately, it is interrupted by an evil demonic cult bent on revenge against Magnus.

I listened to this on audio and really enjoyed it.  Only one issue was one of production values -- sometimes the narrator's voice got so soft that you couldn't hear.

The Eldest Cursses: Book One

Alec and Magnus are on a romantic vacation in Europe when they are confronted with a problem from Magnus' past.  It seems that at some point he created a cult and then completely forgot about it.  Now that cult is trying to raise a greater demon.  Alec and Magnus must stop this cult before the other Shadowhunters find out.

This is the first book in a new series by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu focusing on the characters of Alec and Magnus Bane from the Shadowhunter world.  It takes place between books 3 and 4 of the Mortal Instruments.  It was interesting to see their relationship develop and to learn more about Magnus' past.  I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
