A #1 New York Times bestseller
Sarah J. Maas's bestselling Crescent City series begins with House of Earth and Blood, which follows the story of half-Fae and half-human Bryce Quinlan as she seeks revenge in a contemporary fantasy world of magic, danger, and searing romance.
If you love complex characters rich with backstory then you’ll love this book. The book starts with a lot of world building that makes it feel slow but once the story-line picks up it is hard to put down.

Sarah J. Maas knocks it out of the park with her first official step into the world of adult fantasy! This book has all the depth and imagination of the Throne of Glass series with that extra bit of oomph that she wasn't able to put into her teen fiction. With an incredible cast of characters, a hefty dose of action and heartbreaking plot twists that would put Game of Thrones to shame, Crescent City is a brilliant start to what I hope will be a very long series!
HPB Staff ReviewDeparting from her teen roots, Sarah J. Maas has written a fantastic adult fantasy book. This story follows Bryce, half-fae and half-human, and the struggles she faces while living in a world where humans are seen as cannon fodder. There are many twists to the mysteries of why Bryce's friend was murdered, how a mystic artifact was stolen, and how can all species live in peace with each other. I enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing where this series leads. Fans of Maas may feel like this book is too familiar to her other series, but this is her area of expertise and it shines.
HPB Staff ReviewSarah J. Maas diverts from the world of the Fae and introduces a modern city filled with werewolves, demons, and fallen angels. Equal parts new adult romance and fantasy quest, Crescent City is rich in detail, magic, and action. Crescent City is well-written and spunky; perfect for fans of Harry Potter, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and classic fantasy fiction.
HPB Staff ReviewThis book will crush your heart and soul and you will love every minute of it. Full of twists and surprises, Fae, mystical powers, and a romance that will shock you to your core.
Love the character development and the storyline. This book is so good and made me cry, I’m SO excited for the sequel to be released in November! #SpringPicks
