My friends told me to read Crescent City. Now I’m telling you that if fantasy is your thing (and maybe even if it’s not), you absolutely *need* to read Crescent City!!!

The notoriously brutal Fallen angel, Hunt Athalar, is assigned to work with half-fae, half-human, Bryce Quinlan to find a murderer running rampant in Crescent City. And…that’s all I’m gonna give you to avoid spoilers and let you experience it fully. 

That being said, the world-building that went into this story is insane. The main characters (and the side characters) are lovable af OR you love to hate them. And the action? A detailed, wild ride from start to finish.

It did start out a bit slow and it took me a minute to figure out who’s who and what their role is in society. But after that, I spent the rest of the book on the edge of my seat. 

Damn. Damn. Damn. Hats off to #SJM for continuing to have me in her grasp. If you’ve read it, slide into my DMs to hear which part is living absolutely rent free in my head. 🌙
