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.

Started well and got better.

I loved it.
I picked this book randomly so I didn't expect much, so I was super surprised when I became invested in it.
My first S.J.Maas story coupled with Elizabeth Evans reading to me made for a complete experience. I look forward to more, and will revisit this tale in the future.

I couldn't stop listening. There were some odd bits and pieces (people died and they're getting busy?!?!), but it was enjoyable. Prepare for tears.

Blown Away

Delightfully unexpected, I was drawn in by superb, world building, character development and very unorthodox plot, right to the epilogue.

I can not wait for the second installment, I hope it lives up to this wonderful tale.
