Think Game of Thrones meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a drizzle of E.L. James - Telegraph
Perfect for fans of Jessica Jones and True Blood, this is a blockbuster modern fantasy set in a divided world where one woman must uncover the truth to seek her revenge.
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 ...
With unforgettable characters and page-turning suspense, this richly inventive new fantasy series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom – and the power of love.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Urban fantasy gets a sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll makeover in the first adult novel from YA author Sarah J. Maas (A Court of Thorns and Roses). Set in an unforgiving world where computer technology collides with everyday magic and supernatural creatures, House of Earth and Blood introduces half-fae, half-human Bryce Quinlan, who’s content to party her way through her early 20s until a demon kills her best friend. Bryce teams up with fallen angel and enslaved assassin Hunt Athalar in a full-throttle quest to avenge her friend and grant Hunt his freedom. Sparks fly straight away, thanks to the pair’s intense romantic chemistry and Bryce’s gleefully profane banter. Maas has a track record of creating fierce female protagonists and a deep roster of scene-stealing supporting characters, and this novel—an epic opening to the Crescent City series—is no exception.

Fantastic read!1
Fantastic read, gripping, didn’t want to stop reading. Bryce and Danika were such strong female characters…witty and hilarious! Thank you so much. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series
Great read
Enthralling a book I couldn’t put down😍
Amazing
I never thought a book like this would make me cry in 2 parts of the story. It’s been a while since I had gotten back into reading, and this is the first book I’ve bought and read. I love it and hope there is a sequel to this.
