Back Cover Blurb:
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.
My Review:
I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw an email offering me an arc of this book! I was so excited, you’d think I’d won the lottery! That’s when I actually took the time to read the BIG CAPITAL LETTERS saying this was only an excerpt.
Oh well, I didn’t win the lottery but I still got to read 70 pages of pure bliss. (For me, not so much for the characters in the book. Some pretty bad stuff happens)
Honestly though, I was expecting greatness from Sarah J Maas and she didn’t disappoint. This was everything I could’ve hoped for. It was thrilling and exciting. The characters were strong and intriguing. And the world building, oh the word building. Maas is just too good.
I can’t wait to read the rest of the book! (And proceed to write a lengthy review about everything that’s amazing about it)
