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 when a brutal murder shakes the very foundations of the city, Bryce's world comes 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 ...
House of Earth and Blood is a blockbuster modern fantasy set in a divided world where one woman must uncover the truth to seek her revenge.
With unforgettable characters 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.

The book itself was an amazing page turner. however the eBook quality was dreadful. lots of scrambled sentences and mixed up words. I bought both versions available and both had the same result. The first time I have experienced this. The story is wonderful and great if you are looking for an adventurous escape.

Cliche as it is for a review, I could not put this book down. It sucked me in and held tight to me with every word. SJM writes everything with passion and love and with a sharp intense brilliance that makes you crave more. I am always on the edge of my seat reading her books. 10/10 even better than A Throne Of Glass for the first book in its series. I cannot wait for the next one.
