Bound by blood.
Tempted by desire.
Unleashed by destiny.
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.
I’m not gonna lie, I was nervous at first because it took me a while to get into this one. The world was so big and confusing at the beginning, and it took me a bit to grasp all of the different races, ruling hierarchies, and vernacular, but once it sunk in I was hooked. The steam-punk atmosphere was so unique and cool and I loved all of the different types of supernatural beings in one world with the mix of magic and technology. There is also so much room to grow with this world. It’s already huge and could go in a million directions, which is very exciting. I absolutely loved the main character, Bryce. Her sarcastic and biting nature combined with her loyal and fierce heart made me root for her throughout all of her obstacles. Even through her sometimes irritating stubbornness, I wanted her to succeed. Her friendship with Danika was wonderful and I felt their connection in my soul with every interaction and how it drove her and motivated her every decision. I really liked our other main character, Hunt, too, especially the more we learned about his past and his current situation among the angelic hierarchy. His relationship with Bryce progressed so nicely with sexual tension galore and a deep and meaningful friendship. I loved the arc of their relationship and how they both helped each other overcome their demons, literally, but there is still room for them to grow together in the next book. The plot was interesting, action-packed, and different, and had a couple really good twists. There were a few moments towards the end that felt a little out of character for our two heroes behavior-wise, but I still bought it. Overall I thought it all worked out well and really enjoyed the conclusion. So, thank you Sarah J. Maas for once again giving us a gripping and epic story and world to fall in love with. I cannot wait to see where it takes us.
