House of Furies (House of Furies, 1) Hardcover – Illustrated, May 30, 2017

I was intrigued by House of Furies because I loved Roux's Asylum series and creepy books in general. First I have to say if you're expecting something identical to Asylum you will be disappointed. Whereas her previous books are set in modern times, House of Furies has a much more gothic feel. I also did not find it as lastingly scary as the other books. In this story Louisa is unknowingly living with the devil and when she discovers the truth she has a difficult decision to make. The pace can be a little slow and some chapters I found repetitive but I liked the overall vibe and premise of the book. There is a brief love story I didn't feel particularly invested in, instead I found myself wishing Louisa developed more of a relationship with Mr. Morningside himself. I'm willing the give the second book a chance to see how the story develops from here.

House of furies by Madeleine Roux tells the story of Louisa, a fortune teller, who is given a gold coin by an older woman and offered a job at Coldthistle House. There’s more to the old woman than Louisa realizes and she’s not sure what to think of her. On their way to Coldthistle House, the wagon wheel breaks and a passing wagon stops to help them. These travelers are on their way to Coldthistle House too. Once Louisa finally reaches their destination, she finds out more than she bargained for and discovers that she will supposedly never leave. The art on the cover and introductions of the chapters are beautifully spooky and appropriate for the story. With interesting relationships and creepiness, I read this book nonstop. 4 Stars!

I found this novel to be a realistic take on its subject matter. I like how the characters weren’t over embellished from the beginning. Each passing chapter you learn more and more about each of them. If you’re looking for a dark, moody read, get this book!

This Book is engrossing, imaginative and a true page turner. You will not put it down.if you enjoy Neil Gaiman or anything fantastic, this book is for you.

I've always enjoyed Roux's writing but I think she's honestly outdone herself with this one. This story takes place in a boarding house full of characters with... interesting abilities and makes the reader question the line between right and wrong. Can't wait to pick up the next book in the series!

This is an amazing story (at least so far). I started reading it and I just couldn't stop (142 page in the first day). If you like dark, gothic stories, you might just love this one!!!

As someone who hated asylum I wasn’t sure how I would like this book but I loved it! Louisa is smart, funny and cunning for a thief the girls got heart and she was my favorite character. the ending was a little disappointing but I’m ready for book 2!

I love this series! Brilliantly written, excellent world building and spooky.

Great book, story is always spinning and keeps you interested.Can’t wait to read the next one.

I fell in love with Madeleine's Asylum series years ago, and found this while browsing books. I bought it immediately, along with the Asylum Novellas and Escape from Asylum. House of Furies is wonderfully atmospheric, and refreshingly unique. I'm halfway through right now and I'm enthralled! Roux's style of character creation is fantastic! Her characters are instantly relatable and endearing, drawing you in to be part of the story.Also, being a WoW player for over 10 years, I was also overjoyed to find out she wrote the newest World of Warcraft lore book! I'm so excited to read the next book in one of my favourite storylines written by one of my favourite authors!If you haven't already, do check out this incredible story teller!

Great book! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is because I liked her “Asylum” series more.Great author, will def be checking out more of her stuff.
