About the Book



A #1 New York Times bestseller!

Book Synopsis



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.

Paperback

I definitely ordered the paperback but they sent the hardcover. Target has been doing stuff like this a lot lately. My review does not reflect the book at all because i havent read it yet.

Disappointing

Having read ACOTAR and TOG, this new series was super disappointing. The protagonist follows the same trope from the other series of the broken, callous, and insecure female who is actually super attractive, super strong, super powerful and ends up saving the world after technically dying. Oh, and don't forget since the protagonist is super hot she makes all males fall for her. Of course this is all the while the protagonist is courting her would-be mate after they get over their aggressiveness toward each other before finally falling in love. Yawn!!! C'mon... Not to mention the plot twist after the second book is absolutely maddening! The revelation at the end of the second book felt like lazy audience pandering. Like the author couldn't make a story that could stand on its own merit so she had to bring in characters that her readers already love. At this point, it just feels like Sarah J. Maas is only interested in cash grabs rather than creating anything truly worth reading.

Yes!

I had low expectations because of some word of mouth, but man, I did not agree. I eventually could not put the book down, and was breaking my bed time on multiple occasions! Too big to hold a physical book, do yourself a favor and stay digital for this one. Not sure if it’s a spoiler letting you know the spice level but stop reading here if you don’t want to know…… only one 🌶️, but it didn’t bother me. Happy to move on to the next, really loved the murder mystery aspect.

Missing Pages

My copy came without pages 311-342. That’s almost 5 complete chapters missing from this book. I have had this book for some time before reading it, therefore I’m outside my return window. Big time fail.

Book Sleeve Damaged

Love the book, but Target needs to do better. The sleeve arrived ripped and bent in some places, and there’s a weird red stain on the pages. Returning and having them send me another. Paying almost $30 for a book…it needs to be pristine

SJM has done it again

There was SO much happening in this book as expected from the first in a series there was so much to learn. And as expected from SJM once we reached the halfway point there was no putting the book down. Being as whole heartedly OBSESSED with ACOTAR as I am in was so excited to read another series by SJM and I wasn’t disappointed. It was so interesting to see her build a world with so many differences from the world of ACOTAR yet so many similarities. And leave it to SJM to make me love a character I didn’t even want to love just to break my freaking heart!! Now I’m just mad my copy of House of Sky and Breath doesn’t arrive for two more days.

High Fantasy with a Touch of Mystery

2/5 Steam Rating I went into this book expecting a story similar to ACOTAR but this is completely different! While this is a high fantasy and has a few world building similarities, this one was a more modern world and includes a bit of a mystery to the storyline. There was a bit of repetitiveness at the beginning of the story, but it was easy to get sucked into Bryce’s story and I can’t wait to see what comes next!
