About this listen
Half-Fae, half-human 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 then a brutal murder shakes the very foundations of the city, and brings Bryce's world 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....
With unforgettable characters and suspense, this richly inventive new fantasy series by No.1 New York Times best-selling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom - and the power of love.

Story
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

This book had me intrigued right from the start. And just when you think you know where the plot is going, you turn the page and surprise! A really great book and story line. Left me thinking of it well after it was finished. Can’t wait for the sequel.

Enjoyed every second
I picked up Crescent City with some curiosity, being a fan of Sarah J. Maas's TOG and ACORAR series. After recently rereading those, I was eager to see what else Maas had written, and Crescent City didn't disappoint. It held its own with surprising plot twists, endearing and not-so-endearing creatures, impressive character development and romance, all set against an intriguing world. Admittedly, diving into this new universe felt a bit overwhelming initially, given the intricate world-building and unfamiliar concepts. However, a few chapters into the book, things began falling into place. Now, I'm eagerly looking forward to starting the next installment in this series.

Without a doubt the best book I’ve ever read!!
Would 100% recommend! It’s beautifully written and filled with drama, action, slow burn, found family, sisterhood, love after grief (and a little bit of spice 🔥, more spice than ACOTAR 1 but way less than book 2).
I started getting into reading Romantasy books a couple months ago. I had read ACOTAR before this and as much I adore that series. This book is without a doubt brilliant and far more thrilling! The middle did slow down a bit but I still loved every minute of it. The last three hours (about 20 chapters or so) were so packed with plot twists and tear shedding moments I could not put it down! The amount of action and drama and shear brilliance in the last part of the book far exceeded my expectations! I never write reviews but after finishing this book today I felt very compelled to! The amount of things at the end of this book is far more than any other Romantasy books I’ve read. I was expecting one of the plot twists or dramas to be the main event but it just kept going! So emotionally thrilling it had me hysterically weeping when I was listening to it on my drive to work (I do have a tendency to cry at books but never this much). The last book I sobbed at was the ending of the first ACOTAR book but this book had me hysterically crying for the last 3 hours of listening to it. I’m also usually quite good at knowing plot twists and what’s going to happen next and while a few things were obvious to me (due to pattern recognition) I DID NOT guess any of the major plot twists and action and drama that happened at the end which had me audibly gasping! It’s such a brilliant read, you will not regret it!!
