Crescent City by Sarah Maas (2020) Bloomsbury Publishing
In a world where there are shapeshifters and vampires and
fae and angels, Bryce, a half-human-half fae is the illegitimate daughter of
the Fairy King. Her best friends are an
alpha wolf shape shifter, an assassin and a faun who is a famous dancer. It’s the angels who run things and they’re
not very nice. Mix this with someone
causing rifts into Hel, letting demons into their world who kill people. When the wolf is killed along with her entire
pack, by a demon, Bryce is blamed by the wolf’s mother who is in line to be the
Prime wolf. When a vampire is killed the
same way, Bryce becomes a suspect. The
Angel’s fallen angel assassin is assigned to help her find who is summoning the
demons. Only things don’t go the way
anyone expects.
The Plot is well done, the basic outline is that of a murder mystery, but there
is too much bodice ripper imagery and way too much unnecessary foul language
that does not move the plot forward.
