Louisa is told she belongs among the house, the shadows, that she is meant to be a cog in the machine that lures evil people to the boarding house and serves them up with a well deserved death. odd an older woman who seems to have peculiar talents, a little girl with vicious abilities, shadows that move in the corner of your vision and most importantly Mr. Of course she's wrong, she has to be or we wouldn't have much of a story. When she agrees to take a position at Coldthistle House, Louisa believes it's a short term sacrifice that will give her some freedom.
she definitely does NOT want to belong to a boarding house filled with otherworldly creatures that kill. She's that girl that's wrapped up beneath five layers of protective casing with barbed wire and sharp-tongued observation, but deep down she's a squishy little cinnamon roll who just wants to belong. People are offput by her, and she's convinced herself she's okay with that because she has to be if she's going to keep surviving. Our main character, Louisa, has been an outcast all her life.
To me this book feels like a cross between The Adams Family and Dexter and, ugh, the inky blue color scheme throughout this mixed media beauty will steal your soul. I've read some of Madeleine Roux's Asylum series and adored them, but oh my god, my feelings for HOUSE OF FURIES goes past adoration to straight up obsessive devotion. My bookworm instinct told me I was going to love this book the second I touched it. "They do not know why they come, but they do, and once they step through the doors, their fate is sealed. Compelled." He leaned toward me and placed his palms on the desk, his smile crooked and cocksure. Eames feel, Louisa, only toward this place.
