I breathed deeply, stilled, and knocked twice on the door.
Go in, be pleasant, leave, return to work. You can accomplish this, Louisa. You can just be normal. You can disappear.
“Come in.”

Synopsis
An all-new gothic horror series from the New York Times bestselling author of Asylum.
After escaping a harsh school where punishment was the lesson of the day, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton is thrilled to find employment as a maid at a boarding house. But soon after her arrival at Coldthistle House, Louisa begins to realize that the house’s mysterious owner, Mr. Morningside, is providing much more than lodging for his guests. Far from a place of rest, the house is a place of judgment, and Mr. Morningside and his unusual staff are meant to execute their own justice on those who are past being saved.
Louisa begins to fear for a young man named Lee who is not like the other guests. He is charismatic and kind, and Louisa knows that it may be up to her to save him from an untimely judgment. But in this house of distortions and lies, how can Louisa be sure whom to trust?
Featuring stunning interior illustrations from artist Iris Compiet, plus photo-collages that bring Coldthistle House to chilling life, House of Furies invites readers to a world where the line between monsters and men is ghostly thin.

I have this on audio and I can’t wait to listen to it! I love Madeleine Roux
I have a couple of her books and really excited about this one.
I don’t usually read horror, but this one grabs me…and I’m eager to learn more. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
I sure like her writing and I hope to read more of it tonight.
This is tempting but I’m not usually a fan of YA so I’ll wait for your review. 🙂
This isn’t feeling very YA:) I’m only a short ways in though.
Her books are fun 😀 thank you for sharing
This one has a strong start:)
Looks great. As soon I saw the cover, I thought it would be horror. 🙂

And we can’t get enough horror. LOL
Well this doesn’t sound remotely like Hogwarts! And I’m guessing there isn’t a sorting hat to organise everyone… I love that cover and it sounds really intriguing, Laura.
Nope, not Hogwarts. LOL It has some great illustrations all through it.
This sounds creeptastic!
The more I read, the creepier it gets:)
Love the cover and the teasers.
The writing flows well and I’m sure liking it.
Ohh, this one sounds good a spooky! I like it!
I like spooky too:)
Horror, you say? Yes please! This is the first I hear about this book! My interest is piqued lol
You should see the illustrations. They sure add to the atmosphere.
Oh my gosh, this sounds great! I can’t wait to read your review of this one, Laura!
