Publisher 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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The hot-blooded fantasy world of Sarah J. Maas has a new place to play. In the city of Lunathion, a.k.a. Crescent City, magic, technology, and a wide variety of fantastical species live together… and die together. Half-human, half-Fae Bryce is living her best city life, drinking, clubbing, and working in a busy art gallery. Then the party ends to devastating effect when she discovers the bloody remains of her best friend, Danika, and the rest of Danika’s werewolf pack, all brutally slaughtered. When the murders start up again two years later, Bryce partners with fallen angel Hunt Athalar to track down the culprit. But can the still-grieving and fiercely angry Bryce learn to see Hunt less as a pain and more as someone she can trust—or maybe even love? Every string of our emotions was plucked in this epic and twisty blend of romance, fantasy, mystery, and thriller.
Customer Reviews
The best surprise ever!
Everyone says that Crescent City is the weakest of Mass’s universe and they are so terribly wrong. I’ve never liked modern novels, but this was one was a beautiful story with enough fantasy elements for me to still enjoy it. Hard to beat Throne of Glass, but this one still rocked my socks.
Good Read
Overall, the first book of Crescent City was a good read. A decent mix of fantasy, lore, and love interests without being overly romantic.
Dystopian magic
Dystopian magic! A lot to tale in at the beginning but SO WORTH IT.
Bryce is the underdog we all hope to be 🤍
