Publisher's Summary

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 suspense, this richly inventive new fantasy series by No.1 New York Times best-selling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom - and the power of love.

Yes

I really enjoyed this book and the narrator has to be one of the best I've listened to. I can't wait to see where this story will lead and the new twists and plots that are sure to happen! Will be waiting impatiently till then.

Exceeded high expectations!

Sarah J Maas has quickly become my favourite author. Her ability to build such an incredible story and later it with so many plot twists is truly impressive. House of Earth and Blood had me on my toes the whole book, when I thought I had it figured out she threw another curve ball - I truly felt as if I was living the story. It was the perfect mix of fantasy, romance and drama. I became so attached to the characters I’ll admit I did shed a tear or two. I had the pleasure of listening to this as an audiobook and the performance by Elizabeth Evans is exceptional! Would highly recommend House of Earth and Blood, cannot wait for the sequel!

Favourite author, worst heroine

The book was so freaking long. It wasn’t until about 6hrs left to go that started getting interesting. The first hour was also good. So it meant there was 20hr+ of really boring content.
