Book Review
House of Hunger takes place in a world ruled by blood. In the impoverished slums of this fictional land--unnamed yet reminiscent of industrial-era England--we meet 20 year-old Marion Shaw, a young woman desperate to change her circumstances. She dreams of escaping to the far north, where wealthy aristocrats live lives of luxury and bloodlust. Literally—they indenture “bloodmaids,” young women who bleed so that they may drink. When a mysterious job opening presents her with an opportunity to join the upper echelons of society, Marion leaves behind everything she knows to be a bloodmaid to countess Lisavet of the infamous House of Hunger.

Review of ‘Bright Ruined Things’
I didn’t know what to expect when I started Bright Ruined Things, but I was impressed by the end.

That’s partly because we imagine Shakespeare as stuffy literature and associate it with schoolwork.
