Number one global bestselling author Sarah J. Maas launches her brand-new CRESCENT CITY series with House of Earth and Blood: the story of half-Fae and half-human Bryce Quinlan as she seeks revenge in a contemporary fantasy world of magic, danger, and searing romance.

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' 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 pause-resisting suspense, this richly inventive new fantasy series by number one global bestselling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom - and the power of love.

I think I matured past this genre. I didn't need the sexy scenes, the books romance was predictable, the blend of modern and fae was not fully realized (and I don't love it that much). There are some fae physics/logic that didn't seem right to me. Couldn't tell what kind of book the Maas wanted it to be (romance, mystery, fantasy, detective). I love Sarah J Maas and hope she continues the writing but I think this book was a little less polished and a little immature for me, maybe I just grew up some since her last series. The endng moved fast as there was great potential to build that lore earlier that was not used. Maybe in the next book?

its okay....

It was a great story, and I really liked it. But it was sooo unnecessary to use all those F bombs. I wish she would have reined that in a bit more.

Really good, but...

Iffy reviews almost kept me from reading but I’m SO glad I did. It takes a little bit to get in to it but Maas, as always, has masterfully created an incredible world and characters that you feel as though are your personal friends. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Someone should get the film rights to this immediately. It’s one hell of a ride.

I found Maas’s other series to be...fine. Kinda trudging. This is assuredly not. Sure, it’s long, and somehow I’m still shocked how much she got in there. This world is grungy but lush, futuristic but historic. Yes, it takes a bit to set up, but then it builds to a climax that just keeps. on. going.

As expected from her previous books, the writing is impeccable. The narration is also superb. But holy GODS this is modern, urban fantasy at its finest.

Wow.

I'm used to SJM's other fantasy titles, so Urban Fantasy was a little different for me, but I loved it! lots of world building, lots of twists and turns to the plot, but I adore Bryce as the FMC!

Great Urban Fantasy!
