House of Blight
by Maxym M. Martineau
Thank you to the author for gifting me this physical ARC.
Also thank you Libro.fm for the ALC.
MY THOUGHTS:
Oh my gods. This BOOK. From the very first chapter I was absolutely invested. The magic system was both beautiful and macabre and I was thrilled to dive head first into learning more about it. House of Blight had all the elements that I knew would enjoy; I loved the mystery, the gothic atmosphere, the light body horror, the magical world you slowly learn about, and the complicated romance that will make you feel a roller coaster of emotions. Seriously the last quarter of the book had me on the edge of my seat with my heart pounding out of my chest. I am obsessed and cannot wait to read book 2 in this duology!
🎧 I loved this audiobook. It’s single POV (except for one chapter) and the narration was phenomenal. The emotions felt raw and the performance was immersive to the point it made me feel like I was watching a movie.
RECOMMEND IF:
If you enjoyed books like ACOTAR (specifically spring court vibes), One Dark Window, & House of Salt and Sorrows, then I think you’ll enjoy House of Blight.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
• first in a duology
• gothic spring court vibes
• magic with a cost
• mystery
• insect daddy (he’s not an insect, but he does command them)
• fae like beings
• complicated family relationships
• moth companion
• light body horror
• spice: 🌶️🌶️ (a couple on page, mildly graphic scenes)
