Publisher Description
"Sarah J. Maas's CRESCENT CITY series begins 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'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 new dramatized audiobook 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
The hot-blooded romantasy of Sarah J. Maas has a new place to play: the city of Lunathion, a.k.a. the Crescent City, where magic, technology, and a variety of species live (and die) together. Half-human, half-Fae Bryce is living it up in Lunathion—drinking, clubbing, and working in a busy art gallery. Then the party ends, to devastating effect: 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 is partnered with fallen angel Hunt Athalar to track down the culprit. But can the still-grieving and fiercely angry Bryce learn to see Hunt as less of a pain, and more as someone she can trust—or maybe even love? This dramatized adaptation of the novel’s first half is complete with mood-perfect music, intense narration, a full cast of voice actors, and sound effects from the mundane to the uncanny that will pluck every string of your emotions. Lend your ears to this epic and twisty blend of romance, fantasy, mystery, and thriller.
Customer Reviews
AMAZING
It’s kind of slow & difficult to follow in the first couple of chapters.. but within just a couple of hours, I was HOOKED!! In the beginning, there were a lot of different groups & types of species that can make it hard to follow. Now I can’t get through the book fast enough because it really keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Glad I had the graphic audio
The graphic audio I think really drive the story home for me! A definite read like most SJM series it’ll rip your heart out but you keep coming back for more.
I think it’s good
Despite some of the other reviews I think this audiobook is good. I am excited to purchase the second half of the book. Personally I do not mind that it doesn’t say chapters, and that the audio is AI. Every character has their own voice and the background noise makes it feel like you are watching a movie, very entertaining and starting to get good at the end.
