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 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.

Wow that was quite a ride... I could have never foreseen the ending. I have to say I loved the writing, it's quite complex, but very beautiful. This is definitely the greatest book I have read this year. My expectations were definitely surpassed. I would recommend the book for people that would love to read a gory, horrid Sapphic story and love a... well... let's say surprise factor...
A thrilling ride into darkness

While the misery of Prane in the beginning of the novel was a bit too much for my personal taste, it gave us a thorough idea of what to expect from Marion as our brave, resilient protagonist driving with force into debauched opulence. The polite language of the nobles doing the most horrifying things was an amusing contrast. I really enjoyed the eerie atmosphere, the sisterhood, and the hunger theme. I loved how Lisavet was secretive and subtly terrifying, seemingly heartless but passionate, willing to kill and devour, proudly showing off her gruesome trophies. I loved the sensual eroticism between the sapphic leads and their levelheaded trickery, fighting and flirting. It got darker with every chapter & had a satifying ending. Worth devouring.
