Yeah, I don't think it was such a great scene for Isabelle, and I also don't think it was necessary for the story. Isabelle is truly fearless, what happened in this scene was rather stupid.

Merged review:

This was cute, hot, sweet and tender! And it totally points out exactly how I think Alec would react in that kind of a situation as well!

Magnus was trying to make sure Alec knew what he was doing, and that he really wanted to go out with Magnus - not just anyone, and that showed a sweet and tender side of Magnus we don't often see in the novels.

Alec not wanting Jace to know kind of makes me sad, though, although I can totally understand why.

Merged review:

Loved seeing this little bit from Jaces POV, especially what he was thinking about everybody else :D
