I can't even lie, when I first tried to read this book about a year ago, I had to DNF. Now that I have actually read it, I absolutely hate myself for not reading it sooner. I was so enamored by this book that I have pages and pages of notes. I drew out family trees. I felt like a detective reading this book. 

The amount of emotions I went through with this book is ridiculous, the twists and turns and surprises, I had no idea what was going to happen next. I'm now super nervous for the 3rd book... 

Like my heart is hammering writing this right now because 
Bryce ended up in Prythian!!!!

This book was even better than House of Earth and Blood! Definitely had to push through to get to the good parts but like any SJM book, the last 100 pages HAD ME HOOKED and made the entire plot building up to it WORTH EVERY PAGE. I CANNOT WAIT to read CC3 in January!!!!!

The second installment of Crescent City was just as fun as the first! I loved that the author continued the mystery plot line from the first book. The cast of characters and the world building are excellent and the ending was such an exciting plot twist that has me especially excited for the next book!
