Crescent City is the first in the newest series of critically acclaimed Sarah J. Maas’s works. It’s arguably the most confusing series of Maas’s to start, purely because you don’t really know what’s going on for a hot second. Bryce Quinlan is a young woman who is half-Fae, and is quite the party-goer. One thing unfortunately leads to another, and Bryce finds her friend, Danika, dead in their apartment. A couple years later, Bryce is investigating the murder. Hunt Athalar, a fallen angel, ends up working with her. While they work together, they uncover more than they ever thought possible, including romance. There is also untold amounts of corruption in their government that is uncovered, and the book ends dramatically with battling, courage, and more. I give this book four stars because I do love it, but it is slightly confusing. You really have to push through the first 100 pages or so to get into the book. After you get past that though, the book is quite enjoyable with lots of action, suspense, mystery, and romance. However, you have to keep up because the book moves very fast with a lot of characters and subplots. This book is definitely worth the read, and is one of my favorite series.
