'Half-Fae, half-human Bryce Quinlan loves her life. Every night is a party and Bryce is going to savour all the pleasures Lunathion – also known as Crescent City – has to offer. But then a brutal murder shakes the very foundations of the city, and brings Bryce's world crashing down.
Two years later, Bryce still haunts the city's most notorious nightclubs – but seeking only oblivion now. Then the murderer attacks again. And when an infamous Fallen angel, Hunt Athalar, is assigned to watch her every footstep, Bryce knows she can't forget any longer.
As Bryce and Hunt fight to unravel the mystery, and their own dark pasts, the threads they tug ripple through the underbelly of the city, across warring continents, and down to the deepest levels of Hel, where things that have been sleeping for millennia are beginning to stir ...'
I am going to be honest I have not read any fantasy novels, since before the pandemic started, I had been focusing on romance novels. However this book has reignited my love of fantasy novels. I have previously read the first four books of Sarah's A Court of Thorne and Roses series, which I fell in love with. By the end of this book makes I was even more excited to read the rest of Sarah's library and have a dive back into the world of fantasy books.
This is the first book is Sarah's new Crescent City series, and if this book is any indication of what we can expect for the rest of the series, then we are in a one amazing series. The moment I finished this book I knew I had to write about. About how it consumed me for five days, how it sucked me in and didn't let me go until I had finished the whole book.
The book itself is about Bryce and Hunt, but Bryce is our main character this is really her story. It becomes their story at some point but really Bryce is our girl. Throughout the book the point of view switches from Bryce, to Hunt and even some of the other characters which really gives you a full picture as more is uncovered within this suspenseful book.
This book will keep readers on the edge of their seats. As Bryce and Hunt try to solve this mystery, the book throws more twists at them than a maze. The main focus of the book is about solving the mystery, however there is an underlying Romance theme. Now the romantic scenes are enough to create tension between the characters and make readers fall in love with the chemistry but not enough to take away from the mystery that unravels throughout the book.
This book will consume readers to the point that they won't put it down until they have finished every last page of this book. Not only that but this book will play with their emotions and send them on a roller coaster of feelings. It will leave readers with a 'book hangover' unable to think of anything apart from finishing the book.
Overall this is not a book that fantasy readers want to pass over. Change that this is not a book any reader should pass over, if you have never read fantasy try this one. You may not love the way it plays with your emotions when you read it but by the end you will be gasping for more. I personally can't wait until the next book (House of Sky and Breath) comes out in February 2022. You can get this book here.
Until Next Time
