Über diesen Titel
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 know. 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.

The main character is written rather believable and doesn't suffer from main character syndrome as many main characters do.
She has a distinct personality, as do all the other characters.
The book leaves you guessing to the end, what's really going on and one is never quite sure if it might take a turn afterall.
The only issue I have with this, is that the end is a bit all over the place compared to the rest and ends too suddenly for all the build up.
I hope this book will have a continuation, I would enjoy listening to a second one or even a third, since the writing and World building is very enjoyable
Lovely dark romance story
