House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1)

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J Maas is the first book in her Crescent City series, a fantasy series that also includes technology of our world (cars, computers, guns, etc...).

Bryce Quinlan is half Fae and half human. She lives in Lunathion, also called Crescent City, and is known as a partier. Her best friend Danika Fendyr is the leader of a pack of wolf shapeshifters. Bryce works at an auction house that deals in rare to forbidden art, books, artifacts, and is owned by a sorceress who is reported to turn those who annoy her into animals.

A brutal murder changes Bryce's life forever. Due to her relationship to the victims and her attempt to kill the demon who did it, she is tasked to help find who summoned the demon. She is assigned a bodyguard / partner who is a fallen angel known as the Shadow of Death.

Their investigation takes them to all levels of the city, into their own dark pasts, up against incredibly powerful creatures.

This first in Maas's new series will not disappoint. She has quickly grown to become on of the most loved fantasy authors. Her books are cleaver, fast, twisty and sexy.
