I found the story to be exciting with just enough twists and turns to keep me glued to the pages. It seemed like there might be a little more going on than what appeared on the surface. I was so curious about Marion’s new environment once she signed on as the new bloodmaid at the House of Hunger. She soon finds herself in a whole new world and she hopes that all it will cost her is just a little blood. She wants a better life and hopes that the chance to be a bloodmaid is just what she needs. Her brother is the only family that she has left and he is no help at all. She works hard but it never seems to be enough. I am so glad that I decided to give this book a chance. I couldn’t wait to see how things would work out in the end. I enjoyed learning about the world that Marion found herself in along with her and had a feeling that things were not exactly as she had been led to believe. Oh, I liked this book quite a lot! I liked Marion from the very start and the writing drew me into the story immediately.
She'll need to learn the rules of her new home-and fast-or its halls will soon become her grave. But when she discovers that the ancient walls of the House of Hunger hide even older secrets, Marion is thrust into a vicious game of cat and mouse. Lisavet is magnetic, and Marion is eager to please her new mistress. The countess, who presides over this hedonistic court, is loved and feared in equal measure. At the center of it all is Countess Lisavet. There, Marion is swept into a world of dark debauchery. In a matter of days, she finds herself the newest bloodmaid at the notorious House of Hunger. Though she knows little about the far north-where wealthy nobles live in luxury and drink the blood of those in their service-Marion applies to the position. Despite longing to leave the city and its miseries, she has no real hope of escape until the day she spots a peculiar listing in the newspaper seeking a bloodmaid. Marion Shaw has been raised in the slums, where want and deprivation are all she know. Girls of weak will need not apply.Ī young woman is drawn into the upper echelons of a society where blood is power in this dark and enthralling Gothic novel from the author of The Year of the Witching. Must have a keen proclivity for life's finer pleasures. Published by Berkley Publishing Group on September 27, 2022 This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
