Sarah J Maas · 2020
Crescent City · Book 1
Bryce Quinlan had the perfect life. Her nights were an endless cycle of high-end parties, and she planned to enjoy every illicit pleasure Lunathion, better known as Crescent City, could provide. But when a savage murder ripped through the heart of her social circle, the music stopped, and Bryce’s world shattered.
Two years later, Bryce is still a fixture in the city's most infamous nightclubs, but she’s no longer looking for a good time, she’s seeking oblivion. When the killer strikes again, the authorities refuse to take chances, assigning Hunt Athalar, a notorious Fallen angel with a lethal reputation, to shadow her every move. Forced out of her numbness, Bryce realizes she can no longer outrun the ghosts of her past.
As she and Hunt dig into the mystery, their investigation pulls them through the city’s grimy underbelly, across battle-scarred continents, and straight toward the abyss of Hel. Something ancient and hungry has been dreaming in the deep for millennia, and their search for the truth is exactly what it needs to wake up.
Blending the grit of a noir detective story with high-stakes urban fantasy, this is a tale of a divided world where a woman with nothing left to lose must hunt a monster to find her revenge.
