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!!!!!

Wowowow, what a great follow-up to CC#1. Totally devoured this book and I don't want to wait until 2024 for the third!

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!

I need some time to process this. Holy shit. I’ve never read 700 pages so fast in my life. I have so many questions. My heart, in pieces. My brain, on the wall. My soul, well… 
5 stars. Can’t wait for the next one. SJM if you fumble this as hard as ACOSF I will never recover.

The way I am ABSOLUTELY SCREAMING at SJM right now. And the way I could not stop laughing through the last chapter because I KNEW. This book was such a wild ride and I simply could not put it down.. when someone tells you to read this series, listen to them.
