House of Earth and Blood

House of Earth and Blood [Crescent City #1] by Sarah J. Maas, 803 pages

Bryce Quinlan is a half-fae working for an antiquities dealer during the day and partying like crazy at night when her best friend is brutally murdered in a way that completely baffles the angelic authorities of Crescent City. The crime completely changes Bryce's outlook on life, and when a similar murder takes place two years later to someone who was just seen in Bryce's company, the angels pull her into their investigation. What follows is a dangerous investigation that takes Bryce and her angel-of-death companion Hunt into the seediest and scariest parts of their city as they try to find the culprit.

It's interesting seeing the world Maas created in Crescent City, with all of the social and magical castes and rivalries involved. I'm curious to see where the rest of this series takes Bryce and Hunt, particularly if it involved more interactions with the merpeople of Crescent City's river. A fun and sexy urban fantasy.
