Oh. My. Gosh. This book is EVERYTHING. Like, think gothic fairy tale vibes, dark fantasy drama, and a heroine you can’t help but root for. Alma’s journey is so raw, intense, and totally unforgettable. The revenge plot? Chef’s kiss. The romance? Twisted and hypnotic. And don’t even get me started on the illustrations—black-and-white art by the author that’s just as stunning and moody as the story itself.

The Beast? Ugh, perfection. He’s terrifying, seductive, and somehow still feels like the ultimate ride-or-die. Their dynamic is messy in the best way possible, and the whole "starlit hair" thing? I am deceased.

This one had me clutching my metaphorical pearls and fully spiraling. Like, how do you even move on after reading something so darkly beautiful? It’s haunting, gritty, and brimming with emotions that’ll make your soul ache in the best way. ALL the stars! This is the kind of book you’re gonna see everywhere, trust me. Read it ASAP—you won’t regret it!

Huge thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

So so so good! I can't believe this is Wong's debut. The gothic atmosphere is everything. And the revenge aspect is so good. I can see this being one of 2025's top romantasys!

Thank you to Avon/Harper Voger, The Author and Netgalley for a copy of "House of the Beast" in exchange for an honest review.

This was dark and atmospheric. I loved our main character and how morally grey she was.
