Bryce, half human/half fae, as been asked to assist in finding the demon who has been terrorizing Crescent City. She will be working alongside Hunt, a fallen angel and slave who is the personal assassin of an archangel. As they work along side each other, their relationship develops, but each is hiding some huge secrets from one another. 

I found it interesting how the magical and fantasy elements in this world were completely out in the open. Humans, who generally are the oppressors of magical creatures, were actually the oppressed in this book. Those with powers were inherently privileged in this world. This was a great way to build up a story with a half human as the protagonist. 

I really liked Bryce and Hunt and how their relationship developed slowly as they learned to trust and respect one another. I felt like they were both extremely well developed characters with clear motivations.

I was waiting for a reveal that she had some kind of magical power, but I did not expect that she would be the most powerful starborn. I LOVED that Danika was her anchor, it just brought it all back to the incredible bond and trust the two women had.

There was almost too much emphasis on the world building, every little thing was described. And the first 1/3 if the book was very slow. That said, the last 1/3 of the book was fast paced and action packed! 

I felt like there was too much focus on the human rebellion and not enough on the angel rebellion. The angel rebellion played more of a role in this book and it would have been great to get more of that history on Hunt. 

Tropes: urban fantasy, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, age gap, slow burn, mystery
