House of Earth and Blood

Finished this a few days ago. It was a while before I got sucked in to the story cause of all the new characters and stuff. Apparently, this magic place has all the things: vampires, demons, mermaids, satyrs, animal changers, werewolves, angels, fae, sprites, and witches! And more probably. So many princes and kings and queens and governors and archangels, a lot to keep track of. A lot more spice. And everything is modern, like cell phones and tv, game systems, security camera, drugs, scooters, plus magic. Hunt has PTSD, and Bryce has a pet chimera which can teleport itself short distance except when it’s in danger of drowning in a water tank. The Autumn King is such a dumbass and the Prime needs to tell Sabine to shut the fuck up.

A #1 New York Times bestseller! Sarah J. Maas’s brand-new 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 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.
