The Rise of House Valdis (House Valdis Series) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

The Rise of House Valdis by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It is some years since Xenobia fled her situation and she has a settled life on Earth, albeit she has to use a glamour to hide her origins, but she has her own business and is doing some good on the side, she helps girls by giving them the choice she didn’t have, the opportunity to work as one of her Companions where they will be looked after, fed watered, given a roof over their heads and most importantly, a choice of who they want to work with. One of the girls, Maggie was the catalyst for this decision, when Xenobia found her being beaten, she knew she had to act and now, Maggie is the only one she trusts with her true nature and the darkness within her.

All of it seems to be going well until a potential client enters her office for an interview and as she reads his emotions, she knows something isn’t right, especially when he mentions someone from her past, but regardless, she agrees to help and that is where things get complicated and Xenobia has to make a split second decision which will change her future forever. This new change means that she has to open up to everything she has been avoiding since her arrival seven years before, bringing down her walls and letting people in, however, what she doesn’t expect to happen is discovering a whole new world underneath the one she currently has, but will this new found information help, or hinder her life?

This is a paranormal romance where danger lies around every corner and nothing is quite as it seems as past and present collide to create a maelstrom of emotions, secrets, revelations and love, all while keeping you engrossed in the ties that bind an unusual group of people as they navigate new waters together.
