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\u2019ll 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\u2019s enemies, no questions asked. But with a demon wreaking havoc in the city, he\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019d only let it.<\/p>\n

I forgot how much I loved Maas\u2019s worlds. To be frank with you, this sagacious mammoth of a book is more like an entire series, taking you through a journey so long and eventually satisfying with so much character development that one might say it is\u00a0too<\/em>\u00a0long. And perhaps I first agreed until I realized that I wouldn\u2019t give up a single syllable and lose the characters and world. Yes, it\u2019s very slow for the first half\u00a0but, when slow is interesting, it ends up paying off even better than fast paced as all those tied up threads snap in the longest, most exquisite climax to have graced my book shelves.<\/p>\n

Five incredible stars for this book because this book was\u00a0absolutely fucking incredible.\u00a0<\/strong>Going in I knew it was going to be a favorite, but I didn\u2019t realize it was going to be this powerful. This is very possibly Sarah J. Maas\u2019 best book ever, which is saying something. If this is just the first book in the series, then holy shit are we in for a ride with the rest of Crescent City.<\/p>\n
