![]() ![]() She hates her job as a maid and struggles to make ends meet with her sick brother living at home. This dark horror story follows a young woman named Marion, who lives in the slums of Prane. The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson was one of my favourite reads of 2021 so I was incredibly excited for her newest release, House of Hunger. She’ll need to learn the rules of her new home – and fast – or its halls will soon become her grave. ![]() ![]() But when her fellow bloodmaids begin to go missing in the night, Marion is thrust into a vicious game of cat and mouse. Lisavet is magnetic, charismatic, seductive – and Marion is eager to please her new mistress. And she takes a special interest in Marion. ![]() Loved and feared in equal measure, she presides over this hedonistic court. There, Marion is swept into a world of dark debauchery – and there, at the centre of it all is her. In a matter of days, she finds herself 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 strange advertisement in the newspaper, seeking a ‘bloodmaid’. Marion Shaw has been raised in the slums, where want and deprivation are all she knows. Source: I was gifted a copy of this book for Christmas ![]()
