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.
REVIEW: I started off listening to this book on audio and was extremely overwhelmed and confused! It seemed to just be all profanity and lists of the different houses and the different beings that belong in the different houses and I had to give in and switch to the print version and from there on it was all over. I really enjoyed all the different characters and the world building. It was a little difficult to keep them all straight at times but overall this is going to be an incredible series. I am from this point on obsessed with Hunt Athalar. I love Bryce and her no nonsense personality even when it might get her into trouble. There is a lot of tension but not a lot of steamy moments in this book but the moments we get are fantastic. There is a shower scene that is beyond intimate and it broke me. This was another 5 times infinity read for me and I will be waiting IMPATIENTLY to read what happens next in this series and see what's next for Bryce and Hunt.
