About this book

House of Earth and Blood When a demon slaughters her best friends, Bryce Quinlan goes from carefree party girl to vengeance-driven investigator overnight—especially when the murders continue even after an arrest. Desperate for answers, she strikes a dangerous bargain with Hunt Athalar, a brutally powerful fallen angel enslaved to serve the very beings he once tried to destroy, offering him a shot at freedom if he helps her hunt down the killer. As they dig into Crescent City's shadowy depths, their chemistry ignites as fast as the dark conspiracy they uncover, one that could endanger everything they love. This is a lush, action-packed mystery wrapped around a smoldering romance that'll have you rooting for two broken people to find redemption together.

“Create a playlist called House of Earth and Blood. Dark urban fantasy with smoldering tension—moody indie rock, atmospheric synth-pop, and sultry R&B. Think Purity Ring, The Weeknd, and Metric. Brooding, sensual, dangerous, with moments of defiant resilience. Perfect for obsessive investigations and slow-burn chemistry.”
