Bunny's Reviews: A House of Fangs and Deceit Review Spotlight

We are so EXCITED to share A House of Fangs and Deceit with you this week! Everything about it is just... *Chef's Kiss

Eager for a new dark fantasy novel with "why choose" vibes? Okay, okay, it's more than just vibes. It's there in black and white, giving you steamy deliciousness that - depending on where you live - is going to have you reaching for a cool down. LOL!

A House of Fangs and Deceit is the first book in the Lunaria Realms series, and trust us on this one, you won't want to miss out on this book! From the beginning, the author hooks you in with the prologue. This part of the story alone is so gripping and riveting that you'll be instantly glued to the pages.

A House of Fangs and Deceit moves forward from the prologue and keeps you thoroughly engaged in the story as the author shifts their attention to one of the main characters - Samara. Life is not going well with her at her new home and it's been three years. Three years people!

Sex life? Blah. Husband? Double blah. Okay, okay, so according to Samara he's not bad to look at, and he's got something going on downstairs but when it comes to her? He performs his "duties" but that's it. Excuse me, but what?! And his mother is even worse! Apparently Mother isn't letting go of any crumb of power unless you intend to pry it from her cold dead fingers, because he sure as hell ain't gonna do it.

Nope! "Husband" Demetri apparently would prefer to spend time with his "friends." Yeah, "friends" with benefits. Don't worry though, it gets better. Samara works so hard and proving herself, that when certain scenes play out you're going to wish that you could jump through the pages and dole out righteous justice on her behalf. Unfortunately, we can't, so we'll just have to make do with screaming our rage out to the world. LOL!

When Samara makes the decision to return home, things get really interesting. Crushes are reignited and new romance blooms. Things are going to get spicy steamy and fast! But the danger is there as well. The threat of the wraiths are creeping ever closer. Something strange is going on at Samara's old home, and the tables are about to turn in the most twisted way!

Think you're going to be putting this book down? Ha! Guess again! Before you know it you'll be halfway through this book, and will only pause to do the following - get a breath of air, or to quickly scurry to refresh your COLD drink or to help you take the edge off. LOL! This book is seriously delicious.

When you get to the end of this book, and by end we mean the final two pages...you are going to be screaming!! LOL! Simply because of the twist the author throws at us readers and leaves us practically on our knees begging for more and for October to hurry up and get here. Did someone say October? Is it here yet?! OMG! We need answers! LOL!

This is an epic book and a great start to the series. We can't wait to find out what happens next.

5 out of 5 stars

The fae are gone and the monsters reign.

Lunaria was always a land full of nightmares. But when the fae vanished without a trace, we had to make sacrifices to survive.

From the ashes, the Moroi Houses rose.

As the Heir to one of the most influential Houses, I’ve always known that an arranged marriage would be part of my future. One where I ruled alongside my husband as we fought to strengthen the crumbling alliances of our people.

When I’m betrayed by my husband and his House, however, I return home to an uncertain future—and to both my childhood crush and my arch-nemesis. Kieran is even more gorgeous and clever-tongued than I remember, while Alaric is frustrating... and hotter than he has any right to be. And then there’s the taciturn librarian and their magical ropes…

Navigating politics has always come easily to me, but I don’t know how to deal with my complicated desires or whom I can trust. Because the blood wards that have kept our realm safe for over a century are failing. The monsters are drawing closer, and someone is aiding them.

This is a spicy fantasy romance with love interests who don't mind sharing. You can expect different types of relationships ranging from sweet and playful to enemies-to-lovers; set in a world full of monsters with a dark history.

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON

About the Author

Alex Frost is… actually Maddox Grey. Dun dun duuuuun!

Okay probably not that dramatic of a reveal since it isn’t exactly a closely guarded secret. The pen name Alex Frost was created to publish the spicier fantasy series that fall under the “Why Choose” genre.

Why Alex Frost? Because Maddox is a freaking nerd. After being trained by local baristas to respond to the name “Alex” instead of Maddox, it seemed like the perfect pen name. Half of it anyway.

Since Maddox already shares their last name with Jean Grey of the X-Men, it seemed fitting to borrow Emma Frost’s last name for their other persona.

If you know, you know. (insert smirking face)
