Description

WANTED—Bloodmaid of exceptional taste. Must have a keen proclivity for life’s finer pleasures. Girls of weak will need not apply.

A 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.

Marion Shaw has been raised in the slums, where want and deprivation are all she knows. 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.

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. In a matter of days, she finds herself the newest bloodmaid at the notorious House of Hunger. There, Marion is swept into a world of dark debauchery. At the center of it all is Countess Lisavet.

The countess, who presides over this hedonistic court, is loved and feared in equal measure. She takes a special interest in Marion. Lisavet is magnetic, and Marion is eager to please her new mistress. 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. She’ll need to learn the rules of her new home—and fast—or its halls will soon become her grave.

Ce que les critiques en disent

House of Hunger is gorgeous and lushly dark, a nightmare vision that will pull you into its terrifying grip. Alexis Henderson is a master at creating enthralling fear.”—Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases

“The kind of book that deserves to be devoured. Deliciously brutal, hypnotic, and brimming with ravenous malice, Alexis Henderson has crafted a bloody, sapphic fever dream of a novel and I can’t wait to read it again.”—Francesca May, International Bestselling Author of Wild and Wicked Things

"A gory gem of a story that sinks in its teeth and won’t let up, House of Hunger proves that Alexis Henderson is one of the best Gothic writers out there."—Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf

I loved this story.

I really enjoyed this story and the narrators performance. unfortunately, I found the ending kind of short.

I would bleed for this book !

I picked this title because I had just finished 'Year of the Witching'. and was excited to hear another title from this author.

Again, I was completely enthralled, I can't gush enough about the beautiful and bloody imagery Alexis Henderson uses, Jeanette Lllidge reading really brought this gothic tale to life.

It is a bit slower-paced than Year of the Witching but the build up is well worth it.

A tale soaked in blood, lust, repression and depravity. I loved how House of Hunger builds and reworks vampire lore. Possibly loosely drawing on the history of Elizabeth Báthory, but this is far from your typical vampire story. I found the world/ characters Alexis created all very compelling..

Animal death trigger there references to animals that were killed hunting, dissection and taxidermy but no active scenes of animal torture or death.

Also one of my favorite books. And top audible pick

Carmilla meets Bluebeard

This story goes exactly where you think it will. I personally would have enjoyed a bit more lore, finding out the why's around the horrific happenings. But it was entertaining and the narration was fantastic
