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 bestselling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom – and the power of love.

Spoiler-Free Review

Safe to say this was my least favorite series in the Maasverse (SJM books). I could never get attached to Bryce and Hunt and the storylines felt overly complicated and detailed. I did enjoy all the side characters, especially Rhun and Fitzroy the Otter. Started out strong with book one, I was SHOOK and out to solve a murder, but by the end, I was skim reading and completely lost. Definitely a bummer for me and not sure I will be reading book 4.

Spoiler-Free Review

Urban Fantasy? Meh. Hunt Athalar? Yes. Sometimes a green flag cinnamon roll MMC irritates me – but he didn’t…not sure why. Maybe because he was really grumpy too? Bryce (the FMC) also irritated me but in the way I often irritate myself – like, why am I being a bitch for no reason? So, I easily related to her. I basically read this only because it’s in the SJM-verse but likely wouldn’t have otherwise.

Apparently it’s an unfinished series – which honestly blows my mind because it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, so we all have that going for us at least. AND – there is an ACOTAR cameo in book 3 which I was thrilled for and did love this crossover. Word on the smutty Romantasy street is that there will be more crossover in the Maasverse future so it’s probably worth it to just read this series too. Will you be annoyed? Probably. Will you also be at least a little entertained? Also probably. Luckily it’s only 3 books….
