My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“House of Blood and Whispers” by Natalina Reis is a mesmerizing tale of courage, strength, and unlikely alliances that had me utterly captivated from beginning to end. The blurb alone promises a thrilling adventure, and this book certainly delivers.

Kidnapping Cahki, a white-haired woman with the spirit of a fjord dragon, turns out to be a fateful decision for Emperor Min, setting the stage for a story filled with intrigue and unexpected twists. As Cahki, a fiercely independent soul, is forced into an arranged marriage with Prince Sung-jin, the tension between these two characters is palpable. The author skillfully weaves their complex relationship, where trust must be earned and where love might just bloom in the unlikeliest of places.

The world-building in this novel is a true testament to Natalina Reis’s talent. The Southern Kingdom, a place of fear, cruelty, and a ruler with insatiable appetites, is brought to life in vivid detail. The reader is transported into a court filled with political intrigue, power struggles, and a desperate desire for freedom.

The characters, particularly Cahki and Sung-jin, are beautifully crafted. Cahki’s strength and determination are inspiring, and Sung-jin’s quest to liberate his people from his father’s tyranny is heart-wrenching. Their journey is filled with challenges, and the odds are stacked against them, but their resolve to win or die is a testament to the power of hope and love.

“House of Blood and Whispers” is an enthralling blend of fantasy, romance, and political intrigue. Natalina Reis has created a world that will immerse you, characters who will stay with you, and a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I give this book a well-deserved five stars and highly recommend it to anyone who craves an epic adventure with heart, soul, and a touch of the extraordinary.

Cahki had been kidnapped from her home in the far North to be taken to the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom to be his concubine. She is anything but fragile nor is she a damsel in distress. Sung-jin is the only heir to the southern throne and is looking to dethrone his cruel father. These two come together and create a powerful bond that not even the Emperor is willing to try and tear them apart. There is a big secret that Cahki is hiding and it needs to remain hidden or it could mean the end of her life as she knows it. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting when I picked up this book, but it was not what I expected. The opening of the book was amazing! This forced proximity, enemies to lovers fantasy was great from start to finish. I really enjoyed these two main characters together and enjoyed how their relationship grew organically. Whether or not the magic had anything to do with it I don’t know, but I like to think that it did. Hwarang was a good side character and all three of them were great together. I was sad to see the end of this story, but I can’t wait to read more stories by this author.

House of Blood and Whispers was a thrilling adventure. It was full of action, heat, and drama. I quickly read this story. It was easy to get sucked into the romance and plan to take out the emperor. I’m guessing there will be a sequel because a few things were talked about in the book that were left unfinished. I need answers lol. I thought it was well written. Something anyone could get into. There are a few triggering topics in the story so definitely prepare yourself if you need to.

I am absolutely blown away by this book!! I have enjoyed every book I’ve read from this author, but this one was the most captivating yet. The flow of the story is flawlessly magnificent with a special spin that is so refreshing. There is drama, action, and a rollercoaster of emotions that will pull you in from the very beginning. I was immediately invested in each character and couldn’t read fast enough to find out what happened. If you love romantic fantasy books with twists and turns as well as plenty of action, this is a must read for you!

This was such a fun romantic fantasy. There’s love, hatred, kidnapping, suspense, magic, and so much more! Cahki was kidnapped from her country and brought to be a concubine to the emperor. Along the way, Sung-jin rescues her and convinces her the safest path is for them to marry. Cahki is a fiercely independent woman who absolutely hates being backed into the corner with no real options. Sung-jin’s father is wickedly evil and doles out horrible punishments even to his son. Will Sung-jin and Cahki be able to overthrow the emperor safely with their lives intact? You definitely want to read to find out. The author includes a warning in the beginning; absolutely pay attention to that. There is language, physical abuse, and some explicit sexual scenes. I would only recommend it for a mature audience, but I enjoyed it!

The House of Blood and Whispers by Natalina Reis is an amazingly well written romance fantasy that I could NOT put down. The author TRULY made this book and her world come to life with danger, drama, romance, lies, and secrets. Cahki and Sung-jin are the main characters in this story have a very interesting dynamic. But they both keep you on your toes, and you honestly just want to see them both find happiness and love in a cruel world.
I really loved reading this book, I loved the fantasy world the author created so vividly. While I am not a huge fantasy reader, I found that I could not put it down because things would change so fast. There was enough drama that I had to find out what happens next. I can not wait to read more from this author as I feel her writing is simply AMAZING!!!!

Good Story! It is eye catching at the beginning and only gets better from there. The story just pulled me in with the action and suspense that is filtered in throughout. Not to mention the snappy dialogue from the characters. A couple characters really have some verbal sass going on. So good!

I always enjoy this authors fantasy stories. She does a good job creating the world and her characters are not perfect and but always have room for wonderful growth. It is a pleasure to read these stories.

The trigger warnings at the start of the book were extremely helpful and let me know what to expect. Wow! Just wow! This book was a fantastic read! Cahki is someone I don’t want to meet in a dark alleyway if I was on her bad side, but she and I would be fast friends. She does not hold herself back and holds herself to that standard. It was a little frustrating at some parts, where better communication would’ve resolved some misunderstandings, but overall I really did like her character. Sung-Juin was not was I was expecting. With his background I was expecting a woe is me, or a jaded closed off person. He did have his moments, but I thought he was a well balanced character. This book had a little bit of everything for me. Action, romance, suspense, and everything in-between. Also I gotta say this, the cover is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I seriously can’t wait to read more books by this author. I’m definitely going to buying a physical copy of this book to keep on my shelves!

I’m in love with Cahki and Sung-jin! Cahki is a wild woman from Northern lands filled with ice and snow. She has been captured by slavers to be the emperor’s concubine. Sung-jin is the son of a tyrant emperor. With the proposal of getting married being Cahki’s only option of escape and Sung-jin’s desperate attempt to overthrow his father with an unlikely ally. The growth between these two characters really makes the House of Blood and Whispers worth reading! So many good surprises in store! Natalina Reis is an amazing author with her details and suspense perfectly hitting chapter after chapter. I am anxiously awaiting the next book, House of Blood and Pirates.

What a fun and captivating romantic fantasy! I absolutely loved Cahki and found her spirit to be entrancing and motivational! Her quips and relationship with the prince was as enjoyable as it was frustrating ( in the best way) to see! It had me completely in my emotions! Ms. Reis’s world building was so clear and vivid it was so easy for me to picture every detail! I will definitely be looking for more books by this author in the future! Especially the prequel coming out for this book that I am so excited to get my hands on, House of Blood and Pirates!

This book drew me in with the blurb that the author wrote about it. I want to tell you, that I was not disappointed. The MC’s are amazingly well written and you can actually visualize everything that the author describes as the settings in the book. The situations that the characters find themselves in are not typical but make complete sense in the book. You know how sometimes things happen and you just can’t imagine it any other way. That is this book. The series of events in the plot are amazing and once you read it, you realize that yep that needed to happen. The character growth is great and that is normally what really draws me into a book but this book it was the plot itself that kept me turning the pages. It is a really good read that had me flipping pages as quickly as I could because I was so engrossed in the storyline. I am actually having a hard time writing this review because I want to spill all the beans about the story but I don’t want to give anything away. That is how you now this book is really, really good. There are many twists and turns. Just when you thin you have everything figured out, boom, n something happens and all y0ur thoughts are gone. It allows you to get comfortable with the characters but will have you knowing that at any page turn something crazy could happen.

This was the first book I had read by this author but it definitely will not be the last, as I thoroughly enjoyed this exciting fantasy romance and it had me hooked throughout. The independent and feisty Cahki was kidnapped in order to warm Emperor Min’s bed. However, this turns out to be the worse decision he made, after all inside her lives the strength and ferocity of a fjord dragon! Prince Sung-Jin is the sole heir to the throne of the Southern Kingdom, but his father believes in ruling by fear and that applies to his son as well who carries the scars. The Prince plans to free his people from his father’s cruelty and when he meets the white haired Cahki he believes she can help him, and in turn he can free her. Cahki agrees to marrying Sung-Jin even though he’s a stranger and her enemy if it means no longer being a slave. The couple set out to rescue the kingdom and it’s people who live in fear from a cruel Emperor with no morals and unsavoury appetites. Even though the court hates it’s ruler, the odds are against Prince Sung-Jin and Cahki, but they are both willing to try, and either win or die! The setting and characters were brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, which made me feel immersed in the storyline and engaged with the characters. This was a real page turner and it had me captivated from start to finish, I definitely recommend reading it.

House of Blood and Whispers is a fantasy romance full of action, drama, angst, violence, danger, and a tyrannical leader. The cover of this book is stunning and immediately drew me in which is why I picked it up to read. That, and the title really captured my attention. The story centers around the characters of Cahki and Prince Sung-jin who must team up to try to stop the tyrannical reign of Sung-jin’s father, Emperor Min. Sung-jin is tired of living under the reign of his father who rules the land with force and fear. Sung-jin is kind, tender, caring, and a fierce warrior. He hates how cruel and perverse his father is and wants to bring an end to his reign of terror. Emperor Min is cruel, has no morals, and does not care who he hurts to get ahead. Cahki was kidnapped and held captive by Emperor Min to be part of his harem of other kidnapped women. She is strong, feisty, brave, and a force to be reckoned with. Sung-jin and Cahki have a mutual enemy in Emperor Min and want to be free of his tyranny. When Prince Sung-jin offers her a chance at freedom by marrying him she reluctantly takes it. Together they must fight for freedom for themselves and for the kingdom. Danger lurks around every corner and the dynamic duo must fight for their own survival. This book has a captivating storyline that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. I highly recommend this book!

Cahki is a warrior of the Northern Islands, fierce, intelligent and full of passion for life as she knows it, until she is kidnapped by traffickers from the Southern Islands in order to be the Emperor’s concubine, which in no woman case is something to look forward to. When she escapes from the bad guys another man takes her liberty away once more.

 

Sung-jin is the prince of the Southern Islands and future heir of the Emperor, but he does have morals and wants to abide by the law, not like his titanic father. But in order to do so he must take the throne and establish a new order of things. Having Cahki as his wife may aid the cause, but how will he make this happen?

 

Since the very first line this book takes you to a world of magic, battle and wit, full of engaging dialogue and awning descriptions is a story to read and reread.

This is a fast-paced, engaging story that you don’t want to miss out on. Reis’s storyline is perfection and the character development is sublime. I love well-developed characters and both Sung-jin and Cahki grow independently and together nicely. I would classify this as a fantasy, enemies-to-lovers, action novel and it’s done so well. There are so many twists and turns throughout that I was on the edge of my seat and one more chapter turned in to five. It was really hard to put this book down! Definitely a must read!

House of Blood and Whispers by Natalina Reis is an epic and immersive romantic fantasy that really showcases the authors masterful worldbuilding and storytelling talents. I know that I can always count on Ms. Reis to deliver an engrossing and enjoyable read, and this book was all that and then some. It turned out to be one of my all-time favourites of her works, so far- and that’s saying something because Ms. Reis has some truly fantastic books to her name.
Apart from the incredible world-building and superb characters, there is so much more happening in the story, from action, adventure, danger, drama, romance, politics, corruption, agendas, intrigue, secrets, lies, emotion, and high stakes. The book also comes with a map that really helped to bring everything to life and helped me visualise the world so much better.
As always, Ms. Reis writes beautifully, and her talent is very apparent throughout the book. This is pretty captivating reading. The premise is not only intriguing, but it has also been executed beautifully. The author did a great job of infusing quite a lot of emotion, tension, and romance into her story that had me avidly reading the whole way through.
The inclusion of the glossary of the translations for some of the words used in the story, also helped and added another dimension to my reading experience.
I can’t wait to get my hands on ‘House of Blood and Pirates’ the prequel to this book- which is set to be coming soon. Colour me excited!!!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Natalina Reis!

Cahki is a girl not to be messed with!! Emporer Min is after her for his harem and along the way to his palace, Cahki is abducted. How odd that she’s abducted by the Emporer’s son! Prince Sung-jin captures her in order to save her from his disgusting father.

When it seems the only “safe” option for saving herself is to marry the Prince, Cahki learns that they will have a very special marriage ceremony. They travel over a few days to the correct place, the deed is done, yet Cahki and Prince Sung-jin are better enemies than a married couple.

Will they ever fall in love or will they always have a strained relationship? Will the Prince be able to overturn his father and run the country the way he sees best?

This was an enjoyable book. I did appreciate the warning in the front of the book about things that may trigger a reader. There were several moments where I found myself laughing out loud while reading this. Cahki is a force to be reckoned with and her quips are unexpected at times. There were times I wanted to smack her or the Prince. The story was well-written and enjoyable!

House of Blood and Whispers by Natalina Reis is a fantasy tale. I always jump to grab Natalina’s new book when I see it is out as her stories are refreshing and unique. Natalina has a way of telling a story that brings her narrative to life.
The non-stop action and enough twists and turns to will keep you glued to the pages and invested in the outcome. There is lots of emotional turmoil in this story yet there is also beauty.
The storyline is intriguing and kept you on your toes as we journey along with their trials and tribulations of escaping a tyrannical ruler and freeing not only themselves but it’s people as well.
I loved the main characters and how even in the midst of the cruelty of the world as they know it, they were able to adapt and find happiness.
Cahki was brought to a world where a despicable Emperor resides and expects to be obeyed but he made a mistake when he captured her. She will not go down without a fight. She has hope that freedom will be won.
House of Blood and Whispers is a twisty romantic fantasy where violence and viciousness are commonplace, a place where their survival is at stake and danger is around every corner. A world that is controlled with an iron fist, cruelty, arrogance and lies, now becomes one of a fight for their survival.
I am interested to see what Natalina gives us next.

Cahki is a strong woman raised by adoptive parents in a small community in the northern part of the kingdom, an area well known for fair beauties; something the emperor is well known to have a taste for in his concubines.

Unfortunately the Emperors men come to the North and Kidnap Cahki and start a journey back to the Emperor, but these men had no idea who they just kidnapped.

Cahki is strong, and isn’t going to go down without a fight. She finds herself in a new port after having escaped her captors only to be captured and put in a different cage…. but who is her savior? None other than the Son of the Emperor, but he has a plan to free her, but wants help saving their kingdom from his father and its going to require she marry him. Cahki is no ones property and assures herself this is just a temporary situation to get her freedom…but can something else bloom in both of their icy frozen hearts while they race to save a Kingdom from a war that will mean so much death and destruction. A must read to find out!

I was obsessed with this book from the blurb alone and this only intensified when reading.
The plot was brilliant and the way it was written, I have no words. I was drawn in immediately and the wonderful way the author narrated this, created a brilliant atmosphere and I could not put this down.
I loved the way Cahki and Sung-jin created an uneasy alliance and learnt to work together, the journey as they found their footing felt believable and realistic. While I enjoyed both characters immensely, Cahki stood out to me. She’s fierce. A strong and fearless character willing to do what’s needed for those she loves. I love a character with good development, so I enjoyed seeing other sides to her as the story progressed, she’s not just a warrior quick to resort to violence, there’s more depth there and I loved it.
I was rooting for the pair almost immediately, not only romantically but also in achieving their goals and this had me on the edge of my seat on multiple occasions, hoping for their success.
This is the first book I’ve read from this author, but it certainly won’t be the last, if their other books are even remotely as enjoyable as this one, I’ve found my next fixation!

Wow this was an amazing read. I loved every minute of it. The author’s writing was captivating and I was pulled into the book right from the beginning. This story is fast paced with a tyrant Emperor, his son trying to save his people by overthrowing him and a woman who was supposed to just aid him but who ends up turning his world upside down.

When Cahki was kidnapped to become part of the Emperor’s harem it was a decision that would end up haunting the Emperor for ever.
When the Emperor’s son Sung-jin finds her after she escapes her captors he comes up with a play to protect her while also having a spy on his father. All he has to do is marry her. But with the hatred and contempt Cahki has towards him he is risking his own life by treating her.
The only way Cahki know she can survive is to work with the prince and be a pawn to help him take down his dad.
But what happens when the fake marriage becomes something more. What happens when the fake feelings become real?

This story had my on the edge of my seat as together they have to work hard to find a way to outsmart the Emperor. I love Cahki’s character. She is such a strong and determined woman. She is fiercely independent and will think nothing of resorting to violence to protect herself and the people she cares about. As their story progresses it is lovely to see her vulnerable side come out and the transformation is beautiful. There were parts of this story where my heart was in my throat and my heart went out to them for the dangerous situations they find themselves in. But their strength and determination was so amazing to read. I honestly couldn’t put this story down, I needed to know what was going to happen but at the same time I didn’t want it to end.

This is an amazing book. Cahki starts out being kidnapped and sent to another Empire to marry Prince Sung-Jin. Oh, from there the adventures begin as they try to save the empire. I found this book to be fast-paced and action-packed. I have enjoyed everything this author has previously written. This type of book is new and I loved the pace of the story along with the characters. They are feisty and determined to save the kingdom. It’s a wonderful read that I would recommend to anyone.
