The premise of the first one is that the main character, Bryce, loves life in Crescent City: she’s a party girl with an okay job and a loving best friend and is hot enough to sleep with whoever she wants. Or, in this case, sexy half-Fae and angels. It turned out being fortuitious, because I finally caught the dreaded lurgy last week and didn’t want to/couldn’t do anything but lie in bed and read about sexy Fae. But my best friend in my city is a huge fan and eventually I read it so we could talk it over. I’ve read the Throne of Glass series and enjoyed A Court of Thorns and Roses well enough ( at least the first and the second), but I resisted reading Crescent City because a) Urban Fantasy is just not my thing, and b) ANGELS? I just can’t deal with angels. Yet I read them because sometimes I’m in the mood–like for candy, for junk food, all uber-dramatic characters and no plot substance, something where I can read without too much intensive thought. Sorry, I’m not trying to harsh someone’s vibe if you’re into them, I’m not the target audience. I will preface by saying, I’m not a huge fan of Sarah J. I’m reviewing these two books together (I’ll try to stay spoiler-free for both of them) because I’ve read them in quite quick succession and because my disappointment in the one is heavier because of my surprise interest in the other.
