Crescent City, Book 1

By: Sarah J. Maas

Narrated by: Danny Montooth, Kit Swann, Sarah Ruth Thomas, Colleen Delany, Emily Beresford, Gabriel Michael, full cast, Khaya Fraites, Nick Russo, Danny Gavigan, Sura Siu, Stephanie Nemeth Parker

Sarah J. Maas's CRESCENT CITY series begins with House of Earth and Blood: the story of half-Fae and half-human Bryce Quinlan as she seeks revenge in a contemporary fantasy world of magic, danger, and searing romance.

Bryce Quinlan had the perfect life–working hard all day and partying all night–until a demon murdered her closest friends, leaving her bereft, wounded, and alone. When the accused is behind bars but the crimes start up again, Bryce finds herself at the heart of the investigation. She'll do whatever it takes to avenge their deaths.

Hunt Athalar is a notorious Fallen angel, now enslaved to the Archangels he once attempted to overthrow. His brutal skills and incredible strength have been set to one purpose–to assassinate his boss's enemies, no questions asked. But with a demon wreaking havoc in the city, he's offered an irresistible deal: help Bryce find the murderer, and his freedom will be within reach.

As Bryce and Hunt dig deep into Crescent City's underbelly, they discover a dark power that threatens everything and everyone they hold dear, and they find, in each other, a blazing passion–one that could set them both free, if they'd only let it.

With unforgettable characters, sizzling romance, and thrilling suspense, this richly inventive new dramatized audiobook fantasy series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom–and the power of love.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Hunt’s voice

Why does he sound like a 90 year old. Awful
Choice. Graphic audio needs to pick better actors

10/10

Well written and beautiful delivery from all who participated, narrated man the whole 9.
A must listen!

Wow

Loved the story, loved the full cast but, I still hate the narrator lol. Will listen to the rest of the series.

Oh my gods!

Thrilling and enthralling! Enticing and seductive. SJ, can we please have another? Or maybe a TV series? I imagine it would be on networks for years to come.

So many emotions while enjoying this book

The background sounds and music makes it so much better!! The cast is amazing you really get pulled into the story.

wow

This author beautiful reflects love in all its wonderful, life worth living forms. In my humble opinion a "must read "

Depth

I have a love hate relationship with things that make me cry, and this book made me ugly cry, in a good way, like 4 times. SJM is such an amazing storyteller!!! The depth and girth in her stories are amazing and so good! Thank you SJM 🙏🏼🫶🏼

Masterpiece

I fear this is SJM’s best work!
Perfect from start to end. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series.

LOVED Bryce and Hunt’s performance

Also…Sandriel’s voice was chilling. Loved Ruhn too!!

I don’t think there’s anything I didn’t love.

Amazing but Hunt whyyy?

I absolutely loved this book!! Suspenseful, fun, and emotional. My only dislike of this audio is Hunt's voice. He sounds like an 80 yr old man and it's hard to get into the romance between him and Bryce because of it.
