Description

The first book in the #1 bestselling Crescent City series by Sarah J. Maas, author of the Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series.

Bryce Quinlan had the perfect life-working hard all day and partying all night-until a demon murdered her closest friends, leaving her bereft, wounded, and alone. When the accused is behind bars but the crimes start up again, Bryce finds herself at the heart of the investigation. She'll do whatever it takes to avenge their deaths.

Hunt Athalar is a notorious Fallen angel, now enslaved to the Archangels he once attempted to overthrow. His brutal skills and incredible strength have been set to one purpose-to assassinate his boss's enemies, no questions asked. But with a demon wreaking havoc in the city, he's offered an irresistible deal: help Bryce find the murderer, and his freedom will be within reach.

As Bryce and Hunt dig deep into Crescent City's underbelly, they discover a dark power that threatens everything and everyone they hold dear, and they find, in each other, a blazing passion-one that could set them both free, if they'd only let it.

With unforgettable characters, sizzling romance, and page-turning suspense, this richly inventive fantasy series by #1 bestselling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom, and the power of love.

  • Sarah never disappoints

    I read all of her other book series and when I started this one I put it aside at first because it wasn’t “the same.” I picked it back up only because I thought I owed Sarah the chance to prove herself again and WOW did she! I read this greedily into the early morning hours on many nights, unable to put it down. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

  • Good

    Slow in the beginning, a whole new world to learn about. The end was awesome though, great culmination of events and characters. Good read altogether.

  • Great Ending

    The ending of the book really changed my opinion. I was about to give up on this book but it really started to pick up in the last two parts. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars, is because the author does that trope where the villain starts to explain all the details of their plan at the end, instead of leaving better clues throughout the reading.

  • Great book!

    Compared to the other Maas books I found this one hard to get into and hard to understand the world she was building. However once the bryce hunt pair teamed up i was definitely hooked. I look forward to seeing where this new world takes us.

  • Loved it

    Lots of character development in the beginning, but once you get into it you are hooked. Packed with a plot that keeps you guessing throughout.

  • Hang in there!!!!

    The first 400 pages are agonizing- so many names and world building. But STICK WITH IT!! The sexual tension is incredible. There’s some spice but no where near her Silver Flames book. The ending is NON. STOP. The plot twists, the betrayal, the action. SJM is for the girls and we are HERE FOR IT

  • Amazing!!!
