Description
Bryce, une jeune femme mi-fae, mi-humaine, a une vie parfaite : elle travaille la journée chez un marchand d'antiquités qui vend des artefacts magiques et fait la fête toute la nuit avec ses amis en savourant chaque plaisir qu'offre Lunathion - plus connue sous le nom de Crescent City.
Mais un jour, un terrible meurtre va venir ébranler les fondations de la ville, de même que le monde de Bryce. Deux ans plus tard, son travail ressemble à une impasse et elle se plonge dans l'oubli en écumant les clubs les plus fameux. Mais lorsque le meurtrier frappe de nouveau, Bryce se retrouve entrainée dans l'enquête et doit faire équipe avec Hunt, un mystérieux ange déchu dont le passé noir hante chacun de ses pas.
Ce dernier est l'assassin personnel des archanges et il doit protéger la jeune femme, même s'il lui porte peu d'intérêt. A la recherche de la vérité, Bryce et Hunt vont apprendre à se connaître et vont explorer les bas-fonds de la ville jusqu'aux niveaux les plus sombres de l'Anfer où des choses qui dormaient depuis des millénaires se réveillent...

i don’t mind urban fantasy but i think ... maybe ... sjm shouldn’t be writing it. this was so boring and cringey and just very meh overall. could’ve been about 200 pages shorter because it dragged so much. i absolutely HATED bryce and just didn’t really care about the rest of the characters except for my girl lehabah (who they did so wrong ✋🏼). anyway here’s some notes app thoughts because i can’t be bothered to write a whole review.- some of the fantasy terms in here are so silly like why is it 'hel' and 'alphahole' lmfao- bryce is annoying me with her hashtag party girl 🤪🍾🪩💋 thing god we get it you're not like other girls- guys i just don't fcking care- she has ... unicorn ... toys ... ? and she's ... in her 20s ... ? - "bryce rocks my socks", "bryce is a queen", "bryce kicks ass", "bryce is cooler than me" god can she GROW UP- she is so hot and cold with hunt for literally no reason it's giving zodiac academy (not a compliment)- i don't see the romance or chemistry between them ???- "was that a purr in his voice" yeah so can we not- lehabah is the only part of this book i'm really liking rn guys 😭- the way i'm over 500 pages in and somehow only the tiniest progress has been made on the mystery like genuinely what are all these pages for- how dare she be rude to my girl lehabah!!!- she hates him with her guts one page then is suddenly risking her life to try to save him the next girl what- ruhn is the only one with any sense in this book- "she swiped her finger and his contact was deleted" oh i'm shaking in my boots so scary!!! i can't with this 😭- the whole magic slash Drop situation is just like so convenient and i'm not buying it lol── .✦ pre readeveryone talking about acotar has finally given me some motivation to read this series so you bet i’m taking advantage of it even though i’m already in the middle of three other books 🙂↕️
