Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of Asylum comes the second book in a creepy fantasy series that Publishers Weekly praised as “darkly delightful.” Perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.After the frightful events of last autumn, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton has settled into her role as a maid at Coldthistle House, a place of distortions and lies, but she has not settled into what that means for her humanity.As Louisa struggles to figure out whether she is worthy of redemption, the devilish Mr. Morningside plans a fete—one that will bring new guests to Coldthistle House. From wicked humans to Upworlders, angelic beings who look down on Mr. Morningside’s monstrous staff, all are armed with their own brand of self-righteous justice.Even a man claiming to be Louisa’s father has a role to play, though what his true motive is, Louisa cannot tell. The conflicts will eventually come to a head on the grounds of Coldthistle House—and the stakes include Louisa’s very soul.In this second book of Madeleine Roux’s suspenseful House of Furies series, readers confront a twisted world where the line between monsters and men is ghostly thin.“Takes the reader on a twisting path down a dark hall we’re compelled to travel, no matter what is behind the door at the end. Darkly captivating.” —Mindy McGinnis, Edgar Award-winning author of A Madness So Discreet, on House of Furies

I don't think I can accurately describe my feelings about this book, okay?? I do know that I need a third book. Desperately. Also the author blurb in the back simply states this as "the second book in the House of Furies series" so, like with my rather stubborn ship of Morningside and Louisa, I will......more

Goodreads review by Monica on February 19, 2019

Me gustó muchísimo más que la mansión de las furias, para empezar. Louisa creció mucho y la interacción con sus alrededores también mejoró para bien. Madeleine logró que este libro fuera algo que se lee sin parar, con sin sinfín de elementos que logran conjugar una historia que se narra con excelencia......more

Ugh, why did they do a cover change? I know I'm being fussy but they first showed a matching cover that was red to go with the first cover which is blue. It would've looked so nice! I'm getting so sick of cover changes so that we have nothing to match with the first one we spend money on. This one is......more
